Christmas at Downtown Disney, Rock and Roll Beach Club and Motion Ready for Demolition, Walt Disney World Freeze – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

We visited Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World to take photos of the Christmas decorations and displays, including this one of Mickey, Donald, Pluto and Goofy (below, left). The freeze protective coverings on the plants look like snow! (below, right)

This whimsical Christmas tree (below, left) at the Marketplace includes a variety of toys (below, right). Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head and the games Sorry and Scrabble are included in the toy and game themed tree!

Snowmen make a great photo opportunity (below, left). Santa Mickey pours water into the festive fountain (below, right).

Deer stand outside of the building where Santa meets guests (below, left). Santa Claus arrives for one of his stints (below, right).

Video #1 – Christmas at Downtown Disney, Florida – Including Santa Claus! 12/14/10 – Christmas at Downtown Disney, FL. Footage includes holiday decorations, freeze protected plants, and the one and only Santa Claus!

Mickey’s Pantry (below, left) is the setting for the new Spice and Tea Exchange shop – it sits in the corner, and has a lot of unique spices and teas (below, right). Many of them I’d never heard of before.

The Spice and Tea Exchange (below, left) has been in the location a couple  of weeks, and business seems to be doing well. Heading back outside, the moon was visible over the Genie’s shoulder at The World of Disney store (below, right).

Inside the World of Disney, Lumiere (below, left) and the Genie (below, right) are dressed for the holidays!

We stopped by Pleasure Island and took photos of the clubs that will be demolished.  I have many pictures from days gone by, including of the former Motion Club, which was previously a Levy Restaurants called The Fireworks Factory (below, left) – it closed in 1997, and the Wildhorse Saloon (below, right) before that – it closed in 2001 after a 3 year run. I enjoyed The Fireworks Factory and Wildhorse Saloon but never spent much time in Motion.

The door to the Wildhorse Saloon featured this Cowboy horse (below, left). I remember that the Wildhorse did keep one thing the same from it’s former Fireworks Factory days. The men’s room featured one way glass at a very interesting placement. It was always fun to have people wave like they could see inside. The final incarnation of the location Motion (below, right) was strictly a dance club.

The Motion club – along with the Rock & Roll Beach Club – is behind walls and looks ready for demolition (below left and right).

The Rock n Roll Beach Club was a rock-themed dance club that closed on February 2nd, 2008. Before that, it was the XZFR Rockin’ Rollerdrome (below, left). My sister and I enjoyed skating there! (below, right). I guess a nightclub that served alcohol was not the best mix with rollerskating but the views were great out the back and there was live bands playing Disney Channel type music at night.

Photos of the Rock n Roll Beach Club (below left and right), during it’s heydey.

We took photos of the Rock n Roll Beach Club building from Pleasure Island (below, left) and from the water (below, right).

The stairs are visible inside (below, left). It will be sad to see the clubs torn down! (below, right).

Video #2 – Downtown Disney Boat Ride, Rock & Roll Beach Club and Motion Ready for Demolition 12-14-10 – Video of the boat ride at Downtown Disney, including footage of the soon-to-be-demolished Motion and Rock & Roll Beach Club.

We stopped at Raglan Road and enjoyed the Christmas theming! Santa looks like he’s laying on the moon (below, left) and a beautiful tree graces the lobby (below, right).

The Dickens Carolers were entertaining an audience on the West Side with songs such as “Jolly Old St. Nicholas” (below left and right).

Video #3 – Downtown Disney Dickens Carolers Jolly Old St. Nicholas 12/14/10 – The Dickens Carolers sing “Jolly Old St. Nicholas” at Downtown Disney’s West Side (WDW).
