FYI - I did hear about the whole Jim Hill Rumor Mill articles about the Adventurers Club closing and moving to a new Disney park called Night Kingdom. You can read it here. I did not post it because right now, it IS just a rumor and will not post any news about it until Disney has confirmed that this will indeed happen. So, until them, live on PI and the ADV Club and the CW! KUNGALOOSH!

Sad news to learn that the Dolly Parton Dixie Stamped (Where Sunny Knight worked as a performer) suddenly up and closes last week.

ORLANDO (Orlando Sentinel) - Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede closed
abruptly Monday afternoon when its owners told the staff of the giant
dinner theater that they had sold the attraction's 13-acre site east
of Walt Disney World to an undisclosed buyer. Although rumors of a
sale and layoffs had circulated among employees for the past week, the
company had adamantly denied as recently as Monday morning that a
shutdown was in the works. The attraction's namesake and part owner,
country singer and actress Dolly Parton, issued a statement saying the
property's new owner had made a compelling offer. No sales price was
announced, and the buyer was not identified. The attraction's owners,
who operate three other locations in the South, said they hoped to
open elsewhere in the Orlando area but had not found a new location
yet. In the meantime, they filed notice with the state that they were
laying off 162 people starting immediately. Dixie Stampede spokesman
Pete Owens said the attraction had just completed its best Christmas
season. He said the decision to close had nothing to do with a lack of
customer interest. The attraction closed after Saturday's show for a
scheduled weeklong refurbishment. Most of those on the job Monday were
office workers, but other staffers began arriving after the
announcement to pick up their things. The attraction's giant lighted
sign, which for nearly five years had caught the eyes of countless
drivers from its high-profile location alongside Interstate 4, was
dark Monday, and the theater's parking lot was nearly empty. The
company plans to give most of the 150 to 200 employees severance
packages with as much as 60 days of compensation. Some would be
transferred to other locations, and the attraction's livestock and
horses would also be moved. Dixie Stampede LLC, the Pigeon Forge,
Tenn.-based company that operated the 1,086-capacity theater, also has
Dixie Stampedes in Pigeon Forge; Branson, Mo.; and Myrtle Beach, SC.
