Make the Most of the Time Left with Pleasure Island

With the sad announcement of Disney’s Pleasure Island closing its doors for good on September 27th of this year, both locals and tourists alike are trying to figure out how they are going to spend their nights without this Walt Disney World Resort favorite. There is only one solution to all of this…enjoy the time you have left with this Disney adult oasis! With six great options to choose from, Pleasure Island is prefect for a night out with a date, a night out with all of your friends, or for reunions with those you haven’t seen in a long time.

There is something for everyone to “get their dance on” at Pleasure Island. 8 Trax is perfect for 70’s and 80’s music lovers. It is all about the throw-back hits of yesterday here! Dance to the retro groove and take a blast into the past! The BET Soundstage Club plays the best of yesterday and today’s hip-hop and R&B. Dance to the beat at this two story sound studio. With a live DJ and a huge dance floor, you can get right down to the task at hand…dancing until the early morning hours! Mannequins Dance Palace is an Orlando staple that will truly be missed. One of the more popular dance clubs on property, Mannequins plays pulse-pounding techno and trance music as you dance upon the rotating dance floor. A good time is always in store for you at Mannequins. If Top 40 hits are what you are looking for, and a large dance floor, then Motion is the destination for you. Dance to the best music of today as the synchronized music videos of the artists play on giant video screens throughout the building. Motion is a perfect spot for the music enthusiast or the pop-music lover alike!

Echoes of laughter are sure to be heard for years after the closing of the two major comedy clubs at Pleasure Island. Having provided tourists and locals alike with tons of laughs and good times the Adventurer’s Club and the Comedy Warehouse will both surely be missed. Both the Adventurer’s Club and the Comedy Warehouse encourage audience participation, so you get a different show each time. The Adventurer’s Club focuses more on set comedy acts, while the Comedy Warehouse develops improv routines based on audience participation.

So, get out those last few giggles and bust out those great dance moves one last time at Pleasure Island, before it closes on September 27th. Paid admission is required to get into the Pleasure Island nightclubs. You must be 21 years of age or older to get into the dance clubs, while you can be 18 years of age with an accompanied 21+ year old to get into the comedy clubs. Valid ID is required.
