The debate is still out as to who ripped off who, lol.. Either way, I love the place. The Jetsetter in Lake Worth was another awesome place, more grounded in an Austin Powers-esque theme, but it closed not too long ago =(...

We need to do a little more than sign an online petition. I'm sorry but put yourself in one of the execs shoes....
A) He might not even know it's there...he has other "bold new visions" he's working on
B) It's not really legit unless you contact directly through the company
SOOO...what everyone is doing is great!
BUT! please contact Disney directly through their contact page at
https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wd...=ContactUsPage
and just do exactly what you're doing....give a little snippit as to why you think PI should be saved and how you think their "Disney Research" people got this very wrong.
I work in a call center and we take in e-mail too...if we had an extra 2000 e-mails in just one day that would overload us.

Are you kidding me?? The clubs in Miami mostly suck, unless you like being trapped in an over-priced sea of x-d out beautiful people(Mostly made out of synthetic materials) or sweaty, shirtless, ab-tastic dudes(Depending on your tastes, lol). Mannequins is pretty much a state-of-the-art nightclub, still, to this day. Of course, if you are talking about the crowds, then yeah, the PI dance clubs kinda do blow, but that's because there are a lot of tourists mixed in(It's always funny watching some convetioneers trying to pick up girls like it's some kind of meat market!). Disney never wanted PI to be a 'locals scene', hence why they shut down CAGE turned it into 8 trax. You know, those pesky goth kids scare people away, lol!!

Something tells me this whole debacle will lead to Disney Security paying more visits to noisy hotel rooms and pulling a bunch of drunken, nekkid swingers out of the jacuzzis after hours, lol...

I actually thought the same thing...keep the AC just put it in a new location. The Poly would work...they could put it at the Boardwalk, but it wouldn't match the theme at all...but the poly might be perfect for it now.

I am a local, and do not spend alot of time at PI, but I have been there quite a few times since I moved to Florida. I have always had a fun time, except for feeling weird drinking around kids in strollers at 11pm. We were planning on getting the premium annual passes for PI, but now won't bother. We spend more time at PI than any other 'extras' like water parks or whatever.
We do, however, like to enjoy drinks while on property and have our favorite bars. I'm hoping that whatever they do on PI, they include a couple of 21+ bars.
As a local, I sometimes feel like Disney caters more to resort guests than us, which on one hand I get: they are staying on property and spending all their money there. On the other hand, as a local, I attempt to spend all my expendable cash at Disney. It is impossible to wake up and say 'Gee, I'd love to eat at Chef Mickey's this weekend' and get a ressie a week in advance, forget about a day - and this isn't just at the really popular restaurants, I've gotten turned down for places like Kona Cafe and Spoodles. And even though EMH is great, the parks are open till midnight or later sometimes, it's useless to us as passholders - we can't get on rides during EMH. Then, of course, we could go to the Outer Rim and enjoy a pomegranate martini, but they close fairly early (by bar standards). So we'd hit up PI late night. Now, we'll be limited to hanging out at HoB or the Margarita Stand by Cap'n Jacks.
I'd love to see some good restaurants and a couple of bars at the 'new' PI. No more shops, though. We all have malls and shops, no matter where you live. And it totally stinks about AC.

That brings up an interesting point. I'm very curious as to what, if anything, this will do to the price structure of the PAP. Certainly there are many like yourself that only have one/would have one for PI.

I"m curious as to what they're going to do for people who bought PAP's intending to go to PI, and now they won't be able to...I bought mine in January, so I'm losing about 3-4 months of "access" to PI that I paid for...
My guess is that all us PAP owners are SOL...

Never hurts to ask! I would contact them, be insistant and see what happens. It would be interesting to hear the response.
You are going to get the option to play golf at Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course - seriously!

For free!? That's not a bad deal...a round of golf at Disney is easily $100...

I had heard that... and I can't even believe it. I have no idea how they can justify that.
To some I guess they'd like it... but I don't play golf, don't like golf... nothing about it appeals to me. I would be beyond furious if this was the "compensation" I was offered.

I lost interest in PI about 10 years ago. Clubbing's never been a big thing for me anyways. Of the 3 sections to DTD, PI is the one I spend no time in. I think a couple more restaurants would do wonders for DTD. Right now, you've got the majority of guests split between Rainforest and Planet Hollywood. T-Rex will ease the pain a bit. A couple more restaurants, will really spread things out a bit.
It's Oak Trail, not the larger courses. It runs around $38 per round.

Yeah... this is the 9 hole walking course. There is no way they'd bump spots on their 18-hole signature courses for a huge number of people for free.

I already posted about this somewhere in this thread(Long since buried, lol), but the skinny is that you get a free round of golf(As was said) or you can downgrade to an annual pass and get a pro-rated refund.
Personally, I want a full refund for making my Premium renewal last week 'in bad faith'(Upper Management knew about the changes but failed to notify anyone in advance), and I intend on buying the Universal Premiere Pass instead(A much better deal than Disney has EVER offered, even though they only have 2 parks. If I want to do Disney, I can do it cheaper as a Florida resident w/MYW tickets, grrr).
For crying out loud, look what Universal gives you:

Count me in that group. I considered the PAP or the "Water Parks & More" options to be worth it primarily because of PI. I enjoy DQ once in a blue moon but I don't much care for the water parks, and neither of those would be enough for me to spend the extra money. I spent the extra money so that I could enjoy the CW, the AC, and Mannequins. That was worth it to me.
I guess I should look on the bright side... at least I'll be saving money now.
