Pleasure Island is a fictional location from the defunct Downtown Disney of Walt Disney World.
Description[]
The land which became Pleasure Island was originally not an island at all, instead it was a peninsula known as the Federber Peninsula. An explosion in 1917 severed the land-mass from the mainland and resulted in it becoming an inland island. The island has some magical properties due to it being home of an ancient Germanic deity known as, "The Funmeister".
