They are great pictures, but I had to stop looking because I became too depressed.
Honestly, this was one of the best (if not THE best) adult attractions in WDW, and they closed it.
I wish Disney could understand their actions some times. An event like this should tell them SOMETHING. _________________ When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

I spent Sunday evening with one of Joe Rhode's right hand men who helped develop the adventurer's Club. He was telling me about all of the "Garage Sale and Swap meets that they visited to get the items for decoration.
He said out of everything in that place....They sincerely wish that they kept the Samurai Armor. Apparemtny it was original 17th Century Japan and they bought it for near nothing at a local swap meet here in California.
We had a great time talking and BSing about the Birth (and retirement) of the club and what it was like going through the "rummaging process" for all of the props. Ironically I spend my sundays doing the same thing for vintage items .
The other day I received word from SGT623 that the Adventurers Club was being gutted. One of the saddest sights was seeing the Colonel being brought out without a head.
Let's all bow our heads in a moment of silence for another great attraction that has been put to sleep.

Please note, that the clip might be a little PG-13... he sang full versions of his songs and it was after 9:00pm! _________________ Up or Down North, South, East, or West An Adventurer's Life is Best!

First, thanks to SGT for the photo:
This was us, just before we walked through those doors for the last time... one last look...
I would like to send a big thanks out to Daveypoo and ltdeb! If we had never joined the site and meet up with you guys at day in January, we would have never found the AdvClub and throughly enjoyed the last few years... Also thanks to all the other UAB members we have "run into" at the club: Jaho, eatmon74, Raven, AprilDecember, SGT, and probably more that I can't remember right now... Thanks everyone! _________________ Up or Down North, South, East, or West An Adventurer's Life is Best!

From what I've seen, VERY accurate. He is using actual photos and videos to design everything. So all of the artifacts are "real" so to speak... _________________ Up or Down North, South, East, or West An Adventurer's Life is Best!
Disney has done STUPID things in the past, but this has to be the MOST STUPIDEST THING THEY HAVE EVER DONE!
I had hoped to head to WDW next year, but now after seeing this, I'm not so sure any more. _________________ When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.
