An actual entertainment complex was built at Walt Disney World in1989 called "Pleasure Island", geared towards young adults with its mix of nightclubs, and requiring a separate admission when it opened each evening. Just like its namesake, this "Pleasure Island" seemed to bring out the worst in some patrons, as there were frequent incidents there that required visits from the cops. Most ironic of all, however, was that most of the WDW Marketing execs (who never actually had watched Disney films) had no clue about the similarly titled attraction in "Pinocchio", and therefore never saw how life was imitating art.Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.com
