Nightlife and entertainment
Though you'll probably be so exhausted from a long day at the
parks that boozing and boogying with thousands of others will be
the last thing on your mind, the Orlando area is just bursting with
themed nightspots of every persuasion, from medieval
banquets to piano bars and country and western clubs. It's all
relentless good, clean fun, sanitized to the hilt.
From around 9pm, each Walt Disney World park holds some
kind of closing-time bash, usually involving fireworks and
fountains. There's also Pleasure Island , exit 26B off I-4
(in the Disney Village Marketplace), a remake of an abandoned
island, whose pseudo-warehouses are the setting for shops, themed
bars and nightclubs (daily 10am-7pm; after 7pm $21 gains access to
all bars and clubs). The most enjoyable are the Comedy
Warehouse and the Adventurers' Club , loosely based on a
1930s gentlemen's club. Take ID and a fat wallet.
In a similar vein, in downtown Orlando at 129 W Church St, the
restored Victorian buildings of Church Street Station
enclose a mall-like cluster of restaurants, bars, clubs and shows
with a vaguely Old South theme (daily 11am-2am; after 6pm $19 gains
access to all bars and clubs).
