| Actually, this move is more in line with the way Disney has been doing business for years. As the decades roll on it just seems to be more and more opportunities for shopping. Obviously, that is a big part of their bread and butter. Although, I know there is a huge markup in alcoholic beverages. One would think that Pleasure Island was a profitable venture. I was not a big drinker, so they never got much money out of me in that respect. But I'm DEFINITELY not a shopper so they will be getting even less money on that score. I'm an experience-type person which is why I will be missing the dancing, the laughing, and the conviviality that Pleasure Island provided me. But there really isn't as much margin in those types of activities, is there?
I will miss you Mannequins, 8 Trax, and Adventurer's Club!
I do note that Passporters seem to only miss the demise of A.C. I wonder what the reaction would be if they were to somehow rescue or resurrect that one venue. Would Passporters not mind the closing of the rest of Pleasure Island? I actually understand how Pleasure Island does not serve its bread and butter main audience. Even still, I will sorely miss all the adventures.
