There is a place within Disney’s parks that has become a legendary open secret for its opulence and attention to detail. It is an ultra-exclusive (and expensive) club, and there is a long wait to get in. I am talking of Club 33.
The first edition of Club 33, which was accessed via a most unassuming door, opened at the first Disney park in California, in May 1967. Walt Disney himself passed away in December 1966, so he never saw the finished club, but his vision for it remained, and the club is adorned with artefacts from various Disney films.
It would seem there is nothing quite like Club 33. The food is said to be sublime. The atmosphere is rich with Disney history. With memberships costing at least $10,000 a year, the odds are also good you would be rubbing shoulders with powerful people, were you to get inside. It is also one of the very few places within Disney parks where you can drink alcohol, so you may even be able to pry loose secrets from those rich and powerful people!
If you want to see photos of this apparently glorious club, check out Disneyland Club 33, a fan site that has a host of details on it. The menus look stunning, and the prices are eye-watering!

How interesting! I’ve been to Disneyland a few times and yet I’ve never even heard of “Club 33.” Of course, I am from the wrong side of the tracks, so I don’t travel in those circles. I do however, have fond memories of the kids throwing an absolute fit because they had to get out of the swimming pool to go into Disneyland and that was just so unfair, LOL!
Haha, kids do have some funny prioritises sometimes!
Club 33 sounds like it is unfortunately the domain of the very wealthy, so maybe now is the time to befriend a big star? I’m gonna work on Keanu Reeves.
I have heard of Club 33, but I’ve never been to any of the Disney parks!
I’d love to see if I can spot the one at Disneyland Paris, if I ever get the chance to go.
If I had kids, I would go…. My husband isn’t a fan of amusement parks at all!
I’m happy to go at any time, as long as I get to go!
