Disney’s Pleasure Island is an area of Disney World where people can go out and party. They have all sort of clubs that cater to different music genres. From hip hop, to rock, to 70s, etc. One of the clubs however is not your standard club. It’s called the Adventurer’s Club.
Themed to look like a club in 1937 where people come to the club to talk about their adventures around the world. Working in the club are improvisational actors that interact with the guests and themselves. The club has a main salon with a bar and separate rooms where they try to move people and have different shows, somewhat scripted, somewhat improvised. The characters include an adventurer, the club president, the maid (dressed in a frech maid outfit, of course), the butler and other random characters depending on the night.
Ron and I went to the club the other night and decided to attend their talent contest at the Library where the different characters were going to compete. Well, the club president and the adventurer were talking to each other and they cracked some joke just as I was taking a drink from my glass and of course I had to hold it in not to spit it all over the place. Then I couldn’t stop giggling while I had the drink in my mouth. And the club president noticed. As soon as she was done interacting with the adventurer and something else was going on, she came off the stage to talk to me aside from the ongoing show.
Her: I noticed you looking at me! Me: You are looking so colorful tonight! Her: What’s your name? Me: David Her: Who are you here with? Me: Him (I point to Ron) Her: Oh, no lady friend? Me: Well … boy friend Her: OOOH! HA! Well…. That’s okay! HA! I don’t care! (pause) I’m easy!
And she gets called to the stage. So she says “I’m going to dedicate my song to David!” and starts singing horribly off-key while looking at me. I blow a kiss to her, she laughs and blows it back. Her microphone is taken away from her.
What followed was several attempts by her to keep singing throughout the talent show and saying things like “but I want to sing for David!” and I would do things like the bear claw type thing going “ggrrr!!!!” and she’d reply back. Lots of winking and kisses also happened through the show. I was cracking up and so was the rest of the audience.
Finally her turn for the talent competition came, and she grabbed my hand and had me sit on the stage. She started singing while sitting on my lap. I was wearing a hat that night and she started taking it off until she saw that I just have a very short buzz cut and immediately she goes “maybe not!” to the histerical laughs of the audience. And without missing a beat she grabs my hand and says “dance with me!” and pulls me up the stairs on to the stage.
She started dancing sideways so I just stuck my body behind her and freak danced with her which was well received by the audience.
She finished her song, lots of clapping, a bow and I was able to return to my seat.
And as it usually turns out, I didn’t have the camera with me that night. But I will always have my memories. Pamelia Perkins, I love you!
