Pleasure Island
With the exception of turning into a donkey like Pinocchio, this island is exactly what it sounds like: a collection of pubs and clubs for those who want to party late into the night. What had seemed like a brilliant plan in 1989 turned out to be a disaster at the turn of the century, and renovations began in 2006. Another was the removal of Jessica Rabbit, the notably enormous Jessica Rabbit, from the “Pleasure Island Tonight” sign, which was a popular attraction. The modifications were not well received, and foot traffic did not rise as a result. It was decided by Disney in 2008 that the strip will be closed in order to make space for more family-friendly entertainment. In the end, the entertainment center was forced to close its doors for good in 2010.

The Adventurers Club
“Kungaloosh!” When it comes to one-of-a-kind traditions, this greeting takes the cake. The Adventures Club was a themed bar on Pleasure Island that consisted of five different rooms: the Mask Room, the Treasure Room, the Main Salon, the Library, and the Zebra Mezzanine. The Adventures Club was located on the island’s west end. Guests would have access to live events, radio broadcasts, and even the induction of new members into the organization (this may or may not have been a not so secret society). When Pleasure Island closed its doors for the last time in 2008, admirers of the club started an internet petition to keep the club open. They were successful. It was effective for a period. It was eventually decided that the Adventures Club would be closed in 2010.
