Disney Springs Discussion

Splitsville is AWESOME they have some great sushi and a great lounge atmosphere, but so much for the disney theater i heard about =[

Personally, I think the night clubs were a necessary evil. Yes you get drunk people walking around, but alcohol is usually marked up 500%, so it has a huge profit margin.

Now, WDW is basically conceding that whole market to Universal and City Walk since that is where the club goers are going to now.

As you like to say "fixxed it for you. :thumbs:"

So true, I hate at the liquor store a bottle of vodka is $20 and in the club $200, but hey people pay it

Today, Al Lutz from MiceAge was discussing what may be announced at the D23 Expo and he dropped this tidbit.

Hints could be coming at the Expo about a planned overhaul and expansion of WDW’s struggling Downtown Disney retail/dining complex to include a small water show using the World of Color technology.

Here is the link to the article:

Plans for a new entertainment center called Splitsville has been released.

One thing I noticed, no mention of the name Hyperion Wharf.

This explains Universal's announcement of the Mini-Golf. Both resorts trying to keep people on property as much as possible.

The after 8 thing intrigues me. I don't think the Disney location would switch to 21up that early, but it would be nice if they did maybe around 10 (since it's a resort and what not).

Splitsville seems like a cool place. Even though I am only 17, I like 21 only after 8 policy because there really are no adult hangouts at Disney anymore and I know adults want to get away from kids at the end of the day, especially having to sit in front of the crying ones all day.

Wonder if the DtD version will have a dress code?

 

[jtsalien]

It can't be any more expensive than RideMakerz already is . And I'm glad it's moving. It never needed that much space. And I'm excited. Both for this new awesome building and whatever else we hear about soon.

Here's a link to the Disney Parks Blog about Splitsville and some other changes to DTD: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...ecode=15580&CMP=SOC-WDWFY10Q3WDW_SocMedFB0078

I'm liking the changes and they inted that there's more to come. Now I'm fairly positive Hyperion's Wharf is dead, but DTD is definitely getting upgraded. And I don't think Disney would do 21 and over after 8. Maybe 9 or 10, but their too much of a family resort to do it as early as 8, but you never know.

 

[Disneyhead]

I am sure I will spend as much time in this new and improved area as I did in Hyperion Wharf.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did if they do the 21up after ____. Certain CityWalk clubs have a dress code.

I wonder why they never used one of the islands, to use for pleasure island. They could regulate the age and everything and could keep it totally away from the kids.

 

[Brian G.]

That's right, have an adult night club right in front of the Magic Kingdom. :blank:

 

[Broadwayj1]

They could actually use one of the ones not in front of mk. Because I agree that would be a little :blank:

It would also be a capacity nightmare.

I always thought they should have turned Discovery Island into a high end spa. I would love having sea salt exfo/ Swedish massage in a beach side cabana out there.

Oh, cabana boi.....Another Mia Tia please.

From Epcot Explorer's Encyclopedia.

Disney has filed paperwork with the county for work on the remaining clubs on what was Pleasure Island. Mannequins, BET Soundstage, Comedy Warehouse, and Adventure’s Club are all named in the notices.

It's sad, but at least the work is finally getting done.

Actually, the permits say nothing about demolition.

Word on the street is that the interiors are being refurbed for third parties to run similar nightclubs.

Oh, really? That's great news, I had no idea.
