Downtown Disney update - Pleasure Island demolishment continues



Hello, and welcome to a new Downtown Disney update!
There are a lot of news from the shopping districts, including a lot of demolition!
Let's see:

The entrance to the Marketplace is the nicest of the three:

Take a look at these beautiful flowers!!:


The "new" maps that have been installed throughout the place:


Since the LEGO shop will be closed for renovation for a while, it will be temporarily relocated here, between the "Once upon a Toy" store and the "Earl of Sandwich" restaurant:



It will be like a gazebo:




The $10 or less shop is currently closed:


There are shows going on here:


The T-REX Cafe' has proved to be one of the most successful restaurants of DTD, together with its brother, the Rainforest cafe:


As we said before, the LEGO shop will close soon for a major renovation, and will be 1/3 bigger than it is now!:


Pollo Campero:



New, themed carts along the new bridge:


There's a lot of open space now!!:




Fulton's Crabhouse, Portobello and the Irish pub will be the only buildings that will remain intact in Pleasure Island/soon-to-be Hyperion Wharf:




work near the pub:


Mannequins still stands:


But, here you are the work that everybody was looking for! Two clubs are currently being torn down, with Motion being the first to be completely destroyed:


Beach Club is next:





Wow!:








Notice the door that leads to nowhere!!:


Other closed clubs:



This will be the only one that will be missed:


Good to go:


I love "Characters in Flight"! It really makes Downtown Disney's skyline very interesting:


Soon, you will be able to eat and watch a movie here:


Work is already underway:




The map shows you the route to the entrance to the Movie Theater (which is still open):


Disney Quests can use some new games:


Nice!!:


Not very full during the day:



The building we saw before, the BEACH CLUB is being torn down too, beginning from the behind:




No visible work on the Soundstage Club... yet!!:


A look at Pleasure Island's sign... which will soon be no more:



And, to end, here you are a great view of the panorama, as seen from Downtown Disney!:


Thanks for viewing!!
