What's Going On with Pleasure Island/Hyperion Wharf?

It has been 3 years since Pleasure Island, the adults-only area of Downtown Disney that featured dance and comedy clubs, as well as unique venues such as the beloved Adventurer's Club, shut down. For a while, Disney has been mulling over plans to rejuvenate/refurbish/re-something the area. Most recently, plans included turning it into a family-friendly destination with a bit of a 1900s seaport feel, called Hyperion Wharf. Earlier this month Disney announced that those plans have been postponed indefinitely.

At this point, I don't think anyone--even Disney--is quite sure what will become of Pleasure Island. This article in the Orlando Sentinel sheds a bit of light on this destination that seems to present a quite a quandary for Disney.
