According to Disney, Club 33 is simply named after its address at 33 Royal Street in New Orleans Square at
Club 33 is named after its address in New Orleans Square: 33 Royal Street. Inspired by the VIP lounges that Walt Disney first witnessed at the 1964 World's Fair, Club 33 opened in May of 1967 as a private arena within the park where Walt could entertain important visitors.
Club 33 is one of the most exclusive experiences available through Disney. The club itself is invite-only, and it costs a pretty penny in membership fees. The reason it's so exclusive is because of Walt Disney's original vision as a place to entertain VIP guests.
For Disneyland Resort's Club 33, members will pay $25,000 upfront and then $10,000 every year after. For Walt Disney World, the upfront cost is higher. Members will pay $33,000 to join, and the annual fee is $15,000.
We went with our two little ones, ages two and six, which is probably the best time to take little one to Club 33. Mickey and Pluto also dine at there for Sunday Brunch, so this special character interaction makes it a nice outing for the kids too.
Keep in mind though that the Club is expensive and is not free for members to dine there or their guests. There are two different times to dine, lunch or dinner. Lunch typically runs $100 per person after tip, not including drinks. Dinner is about $120 per person including tip, excluding drinks.
Can I take pictures in Club 33? Yes, you can take pictures, but with exceptions. No photos can be taken of other guests in the restaurant. Also, no photos are allowed in the bathrooms.
Club 33 Membership
That is, if you can get a membership. There are only around 500 members at a time to maintain the club's exclusivity, and membership is by invitation only.
50 single-day admission tickets. Five private VIP tours per year. Exclusive merchandise.
Is There a Special Ticket for Club 33? The simple answer is, no, there is not a special ticket you can purchase for Club 33. You must either become a member, have a corporate pass, or hope you have a friend who is a member. The value of a Club 33 membership lies within its exclusivity, privacy and its hospitality.
The waiting lists for Club 33 are at an average of about four years or more. Potential Club 33 members need to send a letter to the below address requesting to be added to the club waiting list. Calling Club 33 to ask where you are on the list is frowned upon. Remember: this is a class act establishment!
As a Disney Member, you can get into Club 33 two ways: with an invitation by a member to dine as a guest, or if Club 33 is hiring, you can try your luck that way! Bottom line is, it's a members-only club and anyone, even Cast Members, need an invitation. What is this?
Unlike Disney World, which has a specific Club 33 in each of its four theme parks, Disneyland has just the one. The closest you'd get to a Disney California Adventure Club 33 location is the 1901 Lounge at the Carthay Circle, which also caters exclusively to Club 33 members.
Club 33 at Walt Disney World is estimated to have an initiation fee of $33,000. This is paid upfront prior to becoming an official member. The annual membership cost is estimated at $15,000 per year! That's right - in just your first year of Club 33 membership you'll need to hand over nearly $50,000!
Le Grand Salon
Club 33 is also the only place that serves alcohol inside Disneyland (aside from the newly opened Oga's Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge).
Walking length shorts are acceptable. Jeans are acceptable, provided that they cover undergarments completely and are not extremely faded or torn.
How much is lunch or dinner at Club 33? Expect to pay at least $100 per person for your meal, gratuity and alcohol not included.
Disneyland's “secret restroom” is an isolated, disabled-accessible bathroom tucked away to one side of the castle in the Carnation Plaza.
How Long Is The Walt Disney World Club 33 Waitlist? The wait list for Club 33 at Walt Disney World is reportedly much shorter than its California counterpart. Feedback analyzed from recently accepted members of Walt Disney World's Club 33 indicated the waitlist is currently around 3-5 years to join.
