Thank you, James. So often times things happen at Disney World and not a peep of it leaks out over the interwebs!!! For all we know, the Club had been open for weeks and simply no one bothered to post about it.



I think you mean Once Upon a Toy. If we're to have a proper Nerd War, we must get the details correct...

LOLOLOL You're right. One mark against my Disney Nerd card for today. LOL :ROFLOL:

If I am not mistaken, that hut was there in October so I am lead to believe it has been there a while... Hopefully thinking??? probably too much wishful thinking and looking to deep for a clue to something that isn't happening...

Jungle Juice was rechristened "Adenturers Hut" and switched to its current menu within days of the Club closing. It switched sides at one point, but otherwise nothing new here. Sounds like it was a slow news day, someone wanted a blog post they knew would get some hits.

Jungle Juice was rechristened "Adventurers Hut" and switched to its current menu within days of the Club closing.

The place had two inconsistent names before its current name.
The name on top of the hut stated "Adventure Club Cart": http://savepleasureisland.blogspot.com/2010/09/mannequins-alley-bar.html
At the same time, the sign on the side of the hut stated: "Adventurers Hut": http://savepleasureisland.blogspot.com/2011/11/pi-update-dtd-jammed-friday-evening.html

Now the name on top has been eliminated and the signs on both side read "Adventures Hut". Reference to the "club" are now gone.

Kungaloosh Adventurers,

Well, it took the Disney Parks Blog some time to give us a new topic that we can use to our advantage, but here it is, "Share Your Summer Must Do at Disney Parks"! It seemes that Phineas and Ferb are compiling a list of 104 must do's at the Disney Parks and not only is there the normal comment section on the Blog, but also a link to send in a video telling what your favorite thing in all of Walt disney World is! Hey Adventurers, I know what we're gonna do today! We're gonna once again send many comments and videos to the Walt Disney Co. letting them know the number one must do at Walt Disney World is reopen our Adventurers Club and give the hundreds of thousands of Florida tourists a new opportunity to see what makes 5189 Hill St. our number one must do!

SPI Blog posted some pictures a few days ago of the inside of AC.

Lets hear all the theories as to why Zeus and Babylonia are still in here:

I don't feel this picture proves anything either way, but let's all get in our two cents as to why they are here. My take is that they are two of the largest objects and therefore logically the last to come out, but my impression is that everything else came out a long time ago. So why are these still here?

Occam's Razor--nowhere else to put them, no need to remove them (yet).

Happy 4th of July Everyone! And for you Pleasure Island Histarians out there:

The story begins in New South Frewsberg, Pennsylvania, on July 4th, 1873. “Gold Rush Gus” Pleasure, free-wheeling millionaire prospector/explorer, paces in his study. A smiling nurse enters and announces the birth of a bouncing baby boy to him and his wife, the former Miss Lydia LaMarr, an early star of the American stage (known professionally as “The American Venus”). The boy is named “Merriweather” after Gus’ own father. . .
. . .Their first son, Stewart, is born on July 4th, 1901. A second son, Henry, is born in 1905, also on July 4th. . .

. . .On July 3rd, 1911, his daughter and the last Pleasure child, Merriam is born. Merriweather has the date legally changed to July 4th. Merriam proves to be the most beloved of his children, a soul-mate, friend, and companion on his round-the-world jaunts. . .

. . .An elaborate wedding worthy of royalty is held when Pleasure’s daughter Merriam marries an ambitious tango composer from Argentina, Raoul Manzanera, on July 4th, 1933. . .

. . .Henry Pleasure marries ZENOBIA DUBOIS, Kissimmee Society Debutante, on July 4th,1926. . .

~An exerpt from "The Pleasure Island Papers"​

Happy 138th Birthday, Merriweather Adam Pleasure! My your Island revive this year and once again bring joy to Adventurers everywhere!

Also, I'd like to extend a Happy 111th Birthday to Stewart Pleasure, 107th Birthday to Henry Pleasure and 101th Birthday to Merriam Pleasure. Also Happy 86th Wedding Anniversary to Henry Pleasure and Zenobia Dubois and 79th Wedding Anniversary to Merriam Pleasure and Raoul Manzanera! Oh the Pleasure Family, as American as apple pie and Walter Elias Disney (Why else would he rename The -Sherohman Floating Arts Palace the Empress Lilly)!

I really hope that someone out there with deep pockets and a desire to get into restaurants one day comes across all the many discussion boards talking about how beloved the Adventurer's Club really is.

If Disney won't build a new one, someone else should make a go of creating a new Club with new characters but the same feeling, entertainment, vibe, and ambiance.

I actually think the mere threat that someone else might take this idea and run with it would give the fools at TDO incentive to get back into the Adventurer's Club business. It could be called the "Hiawatha Club", the "Victoria Falls Society", the "Esteemed Exotic Travelers Club", or whatever.

Disney would not be able to stop it as long as the place did not use copyrighted Disney names or characters. But Disney could not stop another club like this from being created any more than Coke could stop another company from making a different recipe of cola.

A restaurant/bar that's themed to a place where global adventurers come to meet and revel in their exploits is a concept that someone else out there can create and profit highly from. I really hope they do it.

And...to be honest...sometimes I actually think of doing it myself in a few years if my husband was not around to stop me and my kids (now grown) wouldn't be able to get in the way of selling off everything I currently own and rolling the dice on building something like this.

I've thought about the menu I'd serve: excellent steaks like a fine steak house but also a Polynesian menu with other exotic dishes inspired by Africa, the far East, Asia, and the Caribbean.

I really think if someone "leaked" a serious plan to build an "Explorers' Society" restaurant in Orlando that Disney would suddenly, if not quite immediately, rediscover a love for being in the Adventurers' Club business.
