Club Report: Atlantic Dance Hall




DJ Doc Wells led the hit parade at Atlantic Dance last night to a relatively crowded club. I say relatively crowded because it was crowded to me based on my previous visits to ADH but I was told that some recent Friday nights were even more crowded. With PI gone, this is the only Disney run dance club on property and it's always a great feeling to be partying with the Mouse. The music is request-driven Top 40 with a little techno and hip hop thrown in. Great drinks! See the New Years Eve listing below too.

Great drinks??? Like every other location on property there is no red bull( I understand about the contract thing). Not to mention the drink prices. I will say the place beats no Disney night club. If I was you I'd keep it quiet, if Disney catches wind that people enjoy going they will close it down for sure!

I paid I think 6.50 for a long beach and it was a REAL long beach with multiple liquors. I was trashed!
And who's that good lookin guy doin thriller? :-)

Glad you fired that other photographer bob. No more PUI!

Hmmm on drink prices. I checked receipts and my call brand Gin & Tonic was $7.00; $6.50 at The Groove. So it is a little bit more.

ADH not going anywhere though until 2013 at the soonest. It's under contract to the Swan & Dolphin hotels at least until then. You won't see Disney advertise the place so growing crowds will all be via word-of-mouth.

Sources tell me that revenue at ADH increased $300,000 over prior year during Disney's fiscal year 2009 which began right after PI closed. Of course no telling how many $millions revenue was down at PI during the same period.

None, yeah. The new photographer seems to hold his liquor better! But he missed a shot of those 2 girls doing the Thriller dance in unison with you. He's got to pay better attention!

I was told by PI uppers that they didn't put out ads. they used to. I saw a few of them in the past.

They may have. I had no need for ADH though when PI was open so I really never paid attention to it.

ADH has had very little ads over the years. What has been done in the past, was more of a "by the boots" effort to get the word out.

I would not mention it to much, just let everyone enjoy the only dance club left on Disney property.

Great Drinks yes...Dance club....NO! Everytime I have been there the DJ is uninspired at best. Even Doc just went through the motions! It's a great venue, they just need to get some real talent in there! Not saying Doc is bad, Disney just needs to let him do his job!
