Kungaloosh Adventurers,
As is Club tradition on this night each year, I give to you one of the most secret, and often overlooked Club tradition that occurred only at Midnight of Christmas Eve 1937, the annual Adventurers retelling of "T'was the Night Before Christmas". For full effect, press play at the stroke of midnight tonight, accompanied by your favorite Yuletide beverage: eggnog, wassail, Yakoose Mousse, or a Kungaloosh.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and KUNGALOOSH!!!

Such fond memories at this club as a kid. Running from room to room and seeing all the shows. Oh how I wish they would bring this back. Put it in Adventureland or AK and it will print money...
Probably not. Based on today's management philosopy:
a. $50 per person cover charge
b. $10 fountain sodas
c. $35 well drinks
d. $45 call drinks
3. $50 Kungaloosh ($60 if you want the glass)

Merriweather Pleasure and the Adventure’s Club being connected to SEA is something that has largely come about after the club closed. It also wasn’t really part of the initial development of SEA for Tokyo DisneySEA.

Didn’t Joe rode work on both? I can’t imagine he wasn’t thinking of the adventurers club when designing DisneySEA

The Kirk Brothers were the design leads for Tokyo DisneySEA. Joe just played Harrison Hightower for the Tower of Terror.

Disney’s enthusiasm for creating themed drinking spots (in parks, DCL) would help this cause. So top is the likely fondness this place has among various imagineers. Working against it is the entertainment CMs it would require to work as it did before. That could be overcome if it basically reuses some aspects of the Ip that is more AA and less CM heavy.
Happy 36th anniversary to the earthbound tree house of Merriweather Pleasure’s Adventurers Club! Now…if only it would reopen once again…KUNGALOOSH
One point of favour in Disney's case for reopening is it seems like this was a rare spot on property not covered under Equity's agreements with them (I checked several before the place closed and it wasn't mentioned in any of them). Meaning they had significantly less costs than any other live production on property.

They were equity - many of them also performed elsewhere as citizens etc. a few of them are still around if you know where to look!
Interesting - because usually for a dedicated show (which this obviously was) there's be specific callouts in the rulebook relating to the number of performances and other factors. There wasn't any, unlike a number of holiday shows and relatively limited time offerings dutifully listed. If that's true, I wonder why that's the case...

It’s definitely true. Equity actors can’t work a non-equity gig - and there is video evidence (in addition to my sharp memory
that the same actors a were performing and some continue to perform in other equity roles at WDW.

Yeah, from the times I've been there since it closed they have randomly would pop up in special events as ghost butlers, universal monster prop makers, security personell, A Disney Magic Express driver and even on an episode of The Middle as a Disney guest..

Call me a fool, but I seriously doubt that since they tore it down the likelihood of it reopening is pretty slim. I would think that now that they have found a way to charge extra for everything it might stand a chance for revival elsewhere. Who knows? Stranger things have happened. When you add an admission charge to what they charged for a drink there, they should be quite profitable. KUNGALOOSECASH!
