Frommer's Review
The most unique of Pleasure Island's clubs occupies a multistory building that, according to legend, was designed to house the library and archaeological trophy collection of island founder and compulsive explorer, Merriweather Adam Pleasure, a figment of Disney's imagination. It's also the global headquarters for the Adventurers Club, which Pleasure headed until he vanished at sea in 1941. The plush club is chock-full of artifacts: early aviation photos, hunting trophies, shrunken heads, Buddhas, goddesses, and a mounted "yakoose," a half yak, half moose that occasionally speaks, whether you've been drinking or not. In the eerie Mask Room, more strange sounds are heard, and the 100 or so masks move their eyes, jeer, and make odd pronouncements. Also on hand are Pleasure's zany band of globetrotting friends and servants, played by skilled actors who interact with guests while staying in character. Comedy, cabaret, and other shows run in various rooms within the club. I could easily hang out here all night, sipping potent tropical drinks in the library or the bar, where elephant-foot bar stools rise and sink mysteriously. This one's an especially good choice for those who may find dancing the night away at the other clubs a bit more than they bargained for.
