Hi, Julianne!
Spending your 21st birthday at the Walt Disney World Resort will be absolutely magical! There is no better place to celebrate a special occasion, and the fact that it’ll also be your boyfriend’s first visit will make it even more memorable.
The Pleasure Island nightclubs at Downtown Disney closed permanently several years ago, but the restaurants, shops and other entertainment venues there are still open. Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant is a classic Irish pub with great, lively ambiance. Irish musicians perform nightly and the music and dancing make for a fun experience.
Splitsville is a relatively new addition to the resort that’s also located at Downtown Disney. This is not your typical bowling alley! It features 30 lanes spread over two floors, and also offers billiards, music and live entertainment. You can enjoy a full meal delivered right to you while you bowl. The unique menu includes hand-tossed pizza, sushi, gourmet sliders and more. In addition to daytime hours, Splitsville offers nighttime entertainment for the 21-and-over crowd and there are five bars serving fabulous cocktails.
I hope this information is helpful. Once you arrive at the resort, be sure to pick up a complimentary birthday button to wear around the theme parks so everyone will know it’s your special day, Julianne! Please write back with any other questions you may have as your pixie-dusted planning continues.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
