Orlando- Not Just
For Kids
by Peter Kenny
Disney’s contribution to
nightlife comes in the
shape and form of
Pleasure Island, located
at Down Town Disney.
Depending on the type
of park ticket you have,
you may or may not be
included. Pleasure
Island has a lot to offer
to suit all tastes. It
offers 8 different themed nightclubs, with 2 more
on the way. There are dance clubs playing a
variety of music from different eras. There are
comedy clubs, jazz clubs and so much more.
There are numerous restaurants and shops that
are open throughout the day when no
admission ticket is required. A really good bonus
is that generally speaking parking is free at
Pleasure Island, (obviously there is a charge for
valet parking which is also on offer.)
Another popular nighttimes attraction is Dinner
Shows. There is a huge variety to choose from-
here are just a few to give you an idea of what
is on offer. Arabian nights- watch a spectacular
story unfold with more than 60 amazing horses
whilst you dine on a Prime Rib banquet. Dolly
Parton’s Dixie Stampede (located adjacent to
Premium Outlet Mall). This show really has it all-
horses, comedy, singing and dancing, a four
course meal, building to a hugely patriotic finale!
Medieval Times based in a castle with knights
jousting and playing games whilst you have a
feast. Other themed dinner attractions include
Murder Watch Mystery, Pirates Dinner Adventure
and many, many more.
Whichever one you choose you will be assured
of good food and a great night’s entertainment.
City Walk, part of Universal Studios, is also a
front-runner in the nighttime’s entertainment
industry. The complex has similarities to Down
Town Disney (West Side), however its layout is
far more compact just like Disney’s Pleasure
Island.
City Walk is located along a small lake and can
only be accessed on foot. Anyone arriving by car
must park at one of Universal’s two enormous
parking garages (which are free of charge AFTER
6pm). From there it will take between 5-10
minutes to walk to City Walk. There are moving
sidewalks available.
Once you have arrived at City Walk you will
discover a wide variety of clubs to suit an
enormous range of musical tastes e.g. Motown,
Bob Marley, dance music, rock’n’roll, duelling
pianos and Latin rhythms to name a few.
Venues include Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville,
City Jazz. Pat O’Brian’s Irish Bar (based very
closely on the original in New Orleans including
the signature fire and water fountain), NASCAR
Café, the Groove, and Bob Marley-A Tribute to
Freedom (based very much on Marley’s home in
Kingston, Jamaica which was converted into a
museum after the reggae star’s death in 1981.)
There is no admission charge for City Walk,
however certain clubs may require a cover
charge. Guests have the opportunity to buy a
Key to the Clubs for $7.95 plus tax and this will
provide admission to all venues.
Whichever location you choose to visit, we are
sure that some of the nightlife on offer in
Orlando will help make your vacation a great one.
