I know that there has been construction going on, but does anybody have an idea of what will be the end result??

Thanks!

Right now the powers that be don't know what the end result will be. Though we can probably expect an announcement sometime by the end of september/ beginning of october. The announcement I imagine would invovle not only what will replace the lake-side of the street, but also some 'rule' changes. Guess we'll have to wait and see:animwink:

It's also good to note that the Harley Davidson shop has moved and is reopened... both stages have been removed... it's really difficult to walk through there because construction has the path so small... and almost all of the lakeside shops/clubs have been closed...

The work was going so fast when they took out the stages and shops now it seems to be going so slow. They have been installing that bridge for months.

So it's agreed! If they get too close to the Adventurer Club, we get some hired goons from Jersey to take the contractors at PI for "a ride" in the goons trunk, perhaps over to Seven Seas Lagoon or Epcot to swim with the fishes....(oooops, "Nemo & Friends now). :lol:

Anyone have an idea how things are moving along with PI? I also remember a rumor going around that Disney Quest was due to close sometime soon is this going to be after PI is completed?

Believe itor not...they are right on schedule for a completion date of December 20, 2006. The project will include the new pedestrian bridge which will make the west side and Pleasure Island a simple walk without the HUDGE stairs. It also adds a new boat dock for service around downtown disney and
Saratoga Springs. The pavers are all being replaced and the exteriors are all being cleaned up. There will be some new retail outlets as well. It will make Pleasure Island blend into the rest of Downtown Disney. When the project is complete, it will all be open duing the day including the new Raglan Road which I bet will now open for lunch.

Well Im hoping that once this project is complete, that they dont completely get rid of DQ. Its become a great hangout place for me as of late and I really enjoy and think alot of ppl do.

Hopefully they market it better and make sure they distinuishes it for what it is. Also improve it a little.

Rumor has it that DQ will go away and be replaced by a ESPN Zone. Both brands opened together and spread in Chicago. The Chicago DQ was a flop and they are now growing the ESPN Zones across the country. It would make sense to remove DQ and make it an ESPN Zone.

I really hope they dont do this. They just need to market it a little better. I mean, its not like its attendence is failing. It just needs a little work.

I just hope they do something to bring the R'N'R Beach Club back to it's original glory.......that place used to, and no pun intended, rock, 3 or more years ago, now it's a little bit sad...the bands are still good here and there, the crowd, not so much. I can remember when all 3 floors were pretty much full, and everybody was partying.

So, to clarify, would it be worthwhile visiting Pleasure Island early October time!? I can see it's under pretty heavy-duty refurb but I'd have thought that a percentage of the bars, clubs would still be open...am I wrong!?

I haven't been to PI for, well, thinking about...12 years!! So, now being of legal age to drink and be merry I was hoping to return this year!

What's the word over there guys and gals!?

Sure it's a bit of a mess on the streets... but all clubs remain open during the refurbishment, and despite what the exteriors might look like right now, they are still fun as ever on the inside.
