Important Changes to Downtown Disney Area
at the Walt Disney World Resort

Walt Disney World® Resort wants to share some important news about Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island. All the nightclubs on Pleasure Island will close after Sept. 27, 2008. So beginning Sept. 28, 2008, the Water Park Fun & More Option will no longer include admission to the Pleasure Island nightclubs.

A new choice is available for guests. Now, you may choose to use a visit to play a round of golf at Disney's Oak Trail Golf Course, a relaxed, nine-hole walking course. Of course, you can still choose to use a visit for admission to Disney Water Parks, DisneyQuest® Indoor Interactive Theme Park or Disney's Wide World of Sports® Complex.

This news is part of a bold new vision for the Downtown Disney area, including extraordinary new shopping, dining, numerous enhancements and a completely re-imagined Pleasure Island.

Over the next year, the 120-acre entertainment-shopping-dining complex will add a number of one-of-a-kind, immersive experiences for your Clients to enjoy. The Downtown Disney area will even get its own iconic attraction — a giant, tethered balloon that will take you 300 feet into the air to view the amazing vistas of Walt Disney World Resort.

Other new experiences include:
o In fall 2008, you will enter a world of prehistoric creatures at T-Rex: A Prehistoric Family Adventure. The dinosaur-themed eatery will serve up pizzas, pastas, seafood and more amid life-size dinosaurs, geysers, waterfalls and a fossil dig site.
o Also this fall, a design-your-own t-shirt store from Hanes will add to the growing collection of merchandise your Clients can personalize.
o E-brands Restaurants will premier its newest concept in spring 2009. The casual eatery will feature authentic Central and South American cuisine and live music along the waterfront.

Thanks for the welcome home, it was nice to get that when I checked my email. As with most Disney vacations, it was a terrific time. We ended up getting into the area one night early, and were able to get one more night (in a different room, of course!) at the Riverside.

This was the third vacation from my agent and TMFL, and there were no issues with the arrangements, booking, etc. It was my own fault we didn't get to stay at the FQ, I should have booked it earlier. The Riverside was just as nice, but so much bigger, and a hike from car to room, and room to anything else, except the bus stop. Next time (not sure when, but will absolutely use TMFL and my agent) we will try to book farther in advance to stay where we want. Who knows, maybe somewhere different.
