Gaming at Downtown Disney

For a limited time only, The Wonderful World of Gaming comes to Once Upon a Toy store at Downtown Disney from 1 to 6 p.m. on a Saturday.

There are seven Nintendo DS game systems set up for kids to try out.  Games include The Princess and The Frog, G-Force, Stitch Jam, Club Penguin, Tinker Bell and The Great Fairy Rescue, Phineas and Ferb, and Toy Story 3.

Fans of the Wii console can play Toy Story Mania, Disney Guilty Party and Disney Sing It 2.

Disney World's Pleasure Island lodges permits for change

It was two years ago that Walt Disney World signalled change at Pleasure Island when they announced that the nightclubs of the district would be replaced with more family friendly venues.

At long last Disney has got into gear and lodged permits to signal the start of new construction at Pleasure Island.

The current set up at Downtown Disney with family friendly attractions and restaurants at either end, but joined together by an adult entertainment zone has never really made much sense and anything to put this right is a bonus.

Since the announcement two years ago, very little has happened so far, but Disney has said in the past that it expects to complete its redevelopment of Pleasure Island by 2012.
