**Dana** · 03-13-2006

WOW! That's some serious changes. Thanks for the updates buzz!

Peppertink · 03-13-2006

So....just in case I missed it somewhere....Adventure's Club will remain???

**WishUponAStar** · 03-13-2006

hmm, interesting.

**DisneyTeacher** · 03-13-2006

Thanks for the information. The restaurant sounds like it could be fun. Are any clubs closing?

coasterman2002 · 03-13-2006

I'm excited about the changes to PI in the coming months. I hope that in a couple years it will be restored to its former glory with even more fun and exciting stuff to do.

KarenWDWCP · 03-13-2006

Wow those are a lot of changes. So many I can barely picture them. It is a good idea to try to make the whole area more cohesive though, I guess.

JEANY031 · 03-13-2006

thanks for the info buzz.

bali · 03-13-2006

Interesting. I'll miss the Sausage Company--we always liked grabbing food there when we didn't want to take the time to go anywhere else.

Any story on Adventurer's Club or the Comedy Club? Are both staying?

PrincessJill · 03-13-2006

Oh no! Reel Finds was the one with all the old movie stuff right? I love those kinds of stores. :(

I assume there is no change with the Adventure's Club, or anything else that wasn't mentioned in the article.
I'll keep tabs on it.

chastmastr · 03-14-2006

Thank goodness, it doesn't sound like any of the music clubs are closing either.

I still miss the Jazz Club.

AND the Neon Armadillo

**dhoughton** · 03-14-2006

Oh David!! I LOVED the Neon Armadillo--I still have my t-shirt from there! It was my favorite place on PI! I am glad they making some changes; I haven't been too impressed with it my last couple of trips.

Kippage · 03-14-2006

Hopefully great stuff will replace the places that are closing.
