Janice and Mark bought 4 passes to Club 33 at a fundraiser. Timothy and I got to be their guests. Timothy was sooooo super excited and told me all about what an opportunity was awaiting us.
Club 33 is Disney's Private Club. There are only 487 members allowed and currently a 14+ year waiting list (and they are currently not accepting any new names/applications) and a $7,500+ initiation fee and $3,025 annual membership fees. Talk about an exclusive club!!
I got the honor of pressing the buzzer underneath the ornate brass panel.
To enter Club 33, a guest must press a buzzer on an intercom concealed by a hidden panel in the doorway. (At one time, a member needed only to insert his membership card in a slot near the buzzer and the door would open. However, this process no longer works.) A receptionist will ask for his name over the intercom and, if access is granted, open the door to a small, ornate lobby. Guests have the option of going to the dining level via an antique-style glass lift or a staircase to the second level which wraps around it.The lift is an exact replica of one Disney saw and fell in love with during a vacation in Paris, but the owner of the original refused to sell. Undaunted, Disney sent a team of engineers to the Parisian hotel to take exact measurements for use in the creation of a replica. A sample of the original finish was taken ensure faithful reproduction. (Wikipedia)
Walt Disney and his shadow
The dining room is filled with Napoleonic First Empire Decor.
Filet Mignon, Risotto and a plethora of sweets for dessert. All delicioso.
An interesting toilet, eh?
Thank you Club 33! We've now experienced the secret feature of Disneyland. Timothy can now cross that off his bucket list!!!
