Disambiguation needed? And new article?
There was a good-sized amusement park also called "Pleasure Island" but unaffiliated with Disney between 1959 and 1969 in Wakefield, MA. According to online sources it was at inception the largest man-made tourist attraction in New England.

I personally have wonderful memories of that park, and apparently I'm not the only one; there are a number of memorial websites still online. Perhaps some note about the Wakefield MA park should be added to the main entry?

Fair use rationale for Image:Pleasure island.jpg

Nightclubs to close permanently
I'll let someone who follows this page more closely than I do add this in somewhere. The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Disney is going to overhaul Pleasure Island and will be closing the nightclubs down permanently. Source: here --132 02:05, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

BET Soundstage Club & Trivia cleanup
I want to try to cleanup the Trivia section as suggested, and I want to make sure I have the information listed correctly. The paragragh about BET Soundstage club indicates that it's operated by BET, but also mentions the contract that's due to expire. The trivia section mentions a licensing agreement. It's always been my understanding that Disney operates the club and has an agreement with BET to use the name. Can anyone confirm this? I'm at work right now, and I don't have access to my reference library. I can probably check later when I get home, but figured I'd give this a shot in the meantime. Thanks.

I've been doing some further research, and I still can't find any complete information. From what I can tell, BET Holdings, Inc. (now a part of Viacom) built the club as part of its BET Soundstage brand. It had at least one restaurant at the time in Largo, MD, and was planning on building about 20 more over the course of five years. It appears that the additional locations were never built, and that the Largo location has since closed. I'm guessing that BET gave up on the brand and possibly let Disney continue to use the name (this is just a guess). Still looking for help. Apr1fool (talk) 03:53, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Closeing Info
I started to update the closing night info.

Please add any last songs played in 8-Trax, BET and PI Live. Also please add any info from last night of Comedy warehouse.
