IPleasure Island was designed at a time when adults went dancing. That doesn't happen anymore for the most part.
I'm not sure how huge of a loss the clubs are. I've been dragged to them for years, and frankly, there isn't a club there that isn't outdone by some club or another in people's metropolitan hometowns.
Since when do adults not go dancing anymore??![]()
One thing to recall -- DD is not only a draw for Disney folks anymore, but also a very popular place for Orlando locals to go shopping and dining and still feel the "disney magic." You can't underestimate that.
I'm guessing the backlash for closing them all is less than the backlash for leaving one or two for the same admission cost. AC required a multi-club admission regardless of whether you went to other clubs, reducing the number of clubs available for the multi-club cost would've really annoyed people. :shrug:Maybe someone already thought of this (and Im too young to see PI's real importantance) but why didn't they just keep open one or two clubs and close the rest? So that way they could still build more retail and restaurants and still have a few clubs?

I think that management believed it would be easier to get rid of all of them instead of dealing with the logistics of just keeping the AC and CW open. Also, they'll have more land to sell. I do find it funny that they're closing everything down without anything to replace them...yet.
Look at the entertainment market statistics -- going out dancing at a club ranks very low on the entertainment scale (i.e. places people now spend money). I'm not saying people aren't going out dancing. I am saying they are no longer a considerable market share.
You obviously haven't been to Miami, LA or NYC recently :ROFLOL:...
I think you're mixing info.AC will surely be missed. There are strong rumors where they are turning PI into a small adult only amusement park; that's themed more like a huge carnival. They will only allow a certain amount of people into the parks per evening. Not sure if this rumor will eventually be true, but it would be nice.
About the no one dancing part, have ya heard the music is currently out there? Hardly danceable! One of the reasons I don't listen to the radio anymore only to my ipods.
