Disney to Close Six Clubs at Pleasure Island
Disney announced they will be closing 6 clubs at it's Pleasure Island complex located in Downtown Disney in Orlando. The changes have been rumored for years and while some of the club closures are no surprise, closures of the highly popular Adventurers Club and Mannequin's left many scratching their heads. Some restaurants such as Raglan Road will be remaining open. As long as we can still get the Bucket O' Booze, I'm okay.
