Since the
Walt Disney World® Resort vanquished the Pleasure Island of old that was chock full of clubs and bars for nighttime revelers, guests who have had the need for after-hours fun have had to look for new forms of entertainment. But with the opening of the Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant, as well as the brand new Paradiso 37, Street Foods of America, a new waterfront dining area at
Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island with an extensive bar and signature margaritas, and the themed T-REX Café, the
Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island district is slowly returning to its glory as one of the nighttime hotspots in Central Florida.
The first of the three restaurants to open up at
Downtown Disney®
Pleasure Island in 2005 was the
Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant. With its authentic Irish dishes and furnishings, including dark, carved woodwork, intimate booths and custom-made fixtures from Ireland, diners can enjoy a one-of-a-kind dining experience each and every night here! But while the setting here is an intimate one, the scene at Raglan Road is anything but, as Irish bands play live music every night, storytellers entertain the masses and beers flow from any of the four bars, both inside and outside on their two patios, making this a lively stage for either dancing, having a drink or dining!
Another lively addition to the newly-transformed
Downtown Disney®
Pleasure Island is
Paradiso 37, Street Foods of America. While this new waterfront restaurant might seem to be for dining only, it actually has nightly entertainment and a huge international wine bar, tequila bar and a selection of signature margaritas that make it yet another nighttime hotspot in
Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island!
Finally, another restaurant at
Downtown®
Pleasure Island that has caused quite an uproar is the
T-REX Café. This eatery is like a scene from the prehistoric ages, with audio-animatronic dinosaurs and other creatures in a jungle-like setting filled with geysers, greenery and other surprises that you have to see to believe!
Downtown Disney’s® Pleasure Island is all about having fun, and at all three of these establishments, you are guaranteed to have just that!
