Geocache Description:

This cache is a tribute to the Adventurer's Club, Pleasure Island, Walt Disney World. The club unfortunately closed in 2008, but was one of the most unique entertainment venues for adults in Disney World.

From allears.net (see "Related Web Page" link above):

"The AC presents themed interactive entertainment. Think of the AC as a theater that is presenting a play. In ordinary theaters, the audience is seated while the action continuously unfolds on the stage in front of them over a fixed, limited period of time. The AC, however, is a bit like going to a theater at no special time, sitting right on the stage -- one that encompasses the entire theater -- and having the action sporadically occur all around you, even to the extent of your functioning as an extra in the play.

You are a visitor to the Adventurers Club on New Years Eve 1937, when the Club holds an open house for the purpose of recruiting new members (that’s you). You will be invited to become initiated as a Club member and participate in the various activities that are held that evening, such as casting your vote for the Adventurer of the Year."

While there, you would learn the club song:

Marching along we're adventurers
Singing the song of adventurers
Up or down
North, south, east, or west
An adventurers life is best!

And recite the club creed:

We climb the highest mountains,
just to get a better view.
We swim the deepest oceans,
cause we're daring through and through.
We cross the scorching desert,
martinis in our hand.
We ski the polar ice caps,
in tuxedos looking grand.
We are reckless, brave, and loyal,
and valiant to the end.
If you come in here a stranger,
you will exit as a friend.
KUNGALOOSH!

You would also meet the various live and animatronic characters that inhabited the club.

It was a unique experience that is missed by its thousands of fans and unofficial club members.

I replaced the original missing container with a close approximation in an attempt to maintain the theme.

The cache location anchors the northern end of the Agawam river/bike trail. There is convenient parking. Summer growth will certainly fill in the area. A pencil is in the cache, but bring a backup.
