Goodbye Pleasure Island
Monday, September 29, 2008
Bye PIThis past weekend marked the closing of Pleasure Island, and my particular favorite attraction, The Adventurers Club. As much as I'm against this move by Disney, I understand the reason for adding more dining. Disney dining is a popular thing to do when vacationing with the mouse.

If you're as big of an Adventurers Club fan as I am, I encourage you to read the tribute by one of the opening year cast members who then worked the show for another 17 years, Kris Truelsen.

Here are some cool facts:
  • Tim Goodwin invented the word “Kungaloosh.” Talk about leaving a legacy.
  • Three original cast members invented the Club salute.
  • Phil Card invented the New Member Ceremony.
  • There is no apostrophe in "Adventurers Club."
  • Colonel Critchlow Suchbench’s name is misspelled on the brass plaque in the Main Salon listing
  • members.
