"Screamscape sources have sent in some information about what we might
see during Pleasure Island's last nights. First off the Fireworks will
return to PI for a special finale show on the 27th, though we've heard
there is also a slight chance it could also happen on the 26th. We
will see performances by Frankie and the West End Boys and Hip Kitty,
some off-season special shows in the Adventure's Club (Halloween &
Christmas themed) plus we've heard that the AC's night will end with a
very special show where the story may give away a reason as to why the
club is closing. I've also heard that there may be some kind of
special show over at the Comedy Warehouse as well. Meanwhile look for
lots of extra characters in the streets and special souvenir merchandise.
After that… turn off the lights on the way out because the party is
over… unless you are a member of one of a few special private groups
who have already booked the various venues (yes, Adventure's Club too)
for special private functions. Apparently the special event types
still have some events scheduled for these locations through to Jan,
1st 2009. After that… crews will move in to start removing anything of
value and prepare the site buildings for new owners or for demolition.
As for the buildings… we've heard that suits have been spotted
walking the island with rolled blueprints lately, looking over the
current BET, Adventure Club, Beach Club and Motion buildings. As for
the buildings on the other side of the street (8-Trax, Mannequins)
we've heard that there may be no set plans for those sights yet, which
could possibly mean they could have a date with a wrecking ball in
order to build up something entirely new."

Frankie and the West End Boys. We used to love going to PI for a little while in the early part of the evening and listening to them perform on the old West End Stage.

I sure hope Disney knows what it is doing with this one. :sigh;

OOOOOOOOOOOOH Karen....thanks for posting hon, I'm so excited we're going to be there for this...bittersweet as it is....

You do know it's going to be mobbed, right? There is a HUGE contingent of CMs who are coming out to support their colleagues on the last night. Plus, the closing of the AC is such an unpopular thing that there has already been problems with security and guests, so be prepared for a huge mob, and the potential for some rather undisney like behaviors.

We were chatting about that the other night, Tink. The mobbed part I expected, though I admit I hadn't thought much about the "undisneylike" behavior. Our plan is to get there early, barring that...we'll just have to be flexible...if it's too much, as much as I'd like to stay, I'm not willing to be part of a mob scene...

Thanks for the heads up.
