Business and Pleasure Island

Went to Orlando yesterday. Work sent me there. Fortunately for me, a few of my friends were also there. It was a business function. The actually planned a scavenger hunt (my team won) that landed us in front of Pleasure Island. For those not familiar with Disney...Pleasure Island is a part of Disney that comes alive in the evening. There are all sorts of clubs for all sorts of musical tastes and styles...which means that alcohol also flows like water.

The company rented out 8 Trax (a club for 70's-80's music lovers) for dinner. The only thing that sucked was trying to eat standing up...and trying to figure out what you were eating because the lights were dimmed. Along with this, every person there with our company was given a wrist band that got us into any club on Pleasure Island without having to pay the cover. So you had the combination of people at a work party, with video camera phones and access to an awful lot of alcohol...I'm sure there's a lot of blackmail material everywhere now...LOL!

A few of us stopped at Bongo's while killing time before dinner. We got an early start on the drinks. Well...if you consider 5pm to be early. I started the night with my favorite...Grey Goose and orange with a splash of cran. Yummy! I needed a break.

I spent the rest of the night on the dance floor with the boys... and a couple of brave girls who decided to stay out. Most of the ladies wussed out because of the early morning meeting the next day. We hit about 3 clubs, but wound up spending the majority of the night dancing to old school music right back where we started. I guess I showed them that the "old" women can "hang"...and usually they do it better than the ones half their age.

Nothing like dancing the night away...and then finishing it off with a special playmate...It's been too long since I did something completely decadent and just for me... Bottom line, I woke up early that morning...sore, but refreshed...and then had to head over to my hotel room...

But what happened in Orlando...stays in Orlando.

  1. Sounds like you had an awesome time! You know, I haven't gone out dancing in ages and ages, but you've just inspired me on a post I considered writing some time ago and totally forgot about! Maybe soon I'll do just that, and I'll give you the credit for inspiring me!
