Adventurers Club stripped of all decorations

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

db_2009_1130_AdvClub11It’s finally happened.  The Adventurers Club at Walt Disney World’s Downtown Disney has finally been stripped of all the artifacts that once covered its walls.  ScreamScape broke the news this morning after being sent some photos from inside the now bare-walled club, which officially closed with the rest of Pleasure Island over a year ago, but remained open to private parties until recently.

It’s reported that a number of the props and decorations from the Adventurers Club will make their way to Hong Kong Disneyland, where they will become part of the theming for the new Mystic Point expansion that was announced at the D23 Expo a few months ago.

Hit the jump for more photos of the empty club.
