Forbidden Disney

Pleasure Island (Walt Disney World Resort)

In 1989, for a brief run,Disney uncharacteristically let its hair down. A musical review produced for Comedy Warehouse, one of the late Pleasure Island’s night clubs, called Forbidden Disney, viciously poked fun at Disney itself. According to DeScope

Michael Eisner gave Walt Disney Imagineering this assignment: “Create a show for the Comedy Warehouse. It should be funny, light, satirical; the first Disney review that pokes fun at the Disney Guest Experience. Be bold! Use this as your measure: create a show that, if someone else did it, we’d sue ’em.”

The show, which was replaced after a brief run, referred to the Florida Theme Park as Wallet Disney World, and featured such songs a SuperFriendlyConscientiousDisneyWorldEmployee. The full script can be found here.
