1/10 Downtown Disney Update – Pleasure Island Demolition (Motion, Rock ‘n Roll Beach Club), AMC Theaters, Magic Kingdom

Hi everyone!

We went to Downtown Disney for a few hours today, it’s sad to see Pleasure Island clubs being torn down (but at least something is happening and they aren’t just sitting dormant!) (note on 1/12 – we now have a Magic Kingdom update with Fantasyland and the Haunted Mansion queue!)

Before the Downtown Disney photos, here is one that I took at Animal Kingdom – the Wild Africa Trek starts next week, and I haven’t seen this before on the Safari – it looks like an observation area:

We took the boat from the Marketplace to Pleasure Island (going back and forth twice today), and also walked around.  The club photos are in order of when I took them from different vantage points, I saved the AMC Theater and D-Street photos for the end. You can find our video here! 

 

 

 

I like this one with the Pleasure Island sign in the foreground:

 

More photos that include the demolition, as well as a Raglan Road Happy Hour sign and pictures from Fulton’s:

I am not sure where these security boats were going:

Besides Star Wars figures, new Vinymation’s included Peter Pan, Marie, Mushu, Pete’s Dragon and more:

AMC Theaters will have Screen & Fork Theaters later this year (we were told that they’d be open towards summer):

And over at the World of Disney, I found some other 40th anniversary merchandise I’ve not seen yet:

Tomorrow we plan to take photos and video at the Magic Kingdom, so check back Wednesday!
