Disneyland proves “it’s a small world” is more than a song especially if you want to gain access to their elite, secret club, Club 33.
According to the LA Times, Club 33 has a waiting list in excess of 800 names and no one has been admitted for the past ten years.
On May 4, the exclusive club frequented by Presidents began accepting new members in honor of its 45th anniversary. It is reported that only 100 will be allowed in to join the current 500 members, but according to Club 33’s “information” site just because you are on a waiting list doesn’t mean you are next in line. See how to apply.
If you are invited to join “Walt & Mickey’s Special Place” you will first need to pay the $25,000 entrance fee and $10,000 annual dues — to get access to Club 33, a hidden restaurant in New Orleans Square and the new private club at the neighboring Disney’s California Adventure park, the 1901 Lounge, plus other perks like previews of upcoming attractions.
Lounge 1901 opens on June 15 and pays homage to 1930’s haunts “where the animators would’ve hung out, swapped stories, doodled on napkins.”
