Those are not the exact numbers I have heard, but they are in the ballpark for WDW. My understanding as of now is that initiation might be a little lower than that, but the annual dues will be higher than that.

TDO knows that the Orlando elite are either not into Disney or non-existent (as proven by Golden Oak). Expect pricing to be lower than Anaheim, at least enough to get a steady amount of people.

Golden Oak is selling and expanding at a decent pace, so I am not sure what you mean by that part. The other part is something that I wonder about when it comes to selling Club 33. To open four clubs with no restaurant (at least initially) seems like a stretch to me, but they did their research and know what they are doing.

Currently 13K for dues for the lowest level membership in DL. 30K dues and 100K buy in for platinum level. They have the real stuff, wonder what they will hang on the walls in WDW?

For a look inside.......

I keep coming back to this. The real mystique is in the DL park, but they have opened them in Asia. I guess there are a certain number of people who want to think they are members and part of the real "Club 33," even though they really aren't. I have no doubt they will sell enough memberships to justify renovating vacant lounges, and there will be a certain value in the packages (tickets, tours, etc). My guess is they will have a decent waiting list and continue to raise prices every year; there will be a certain number of people who scratch their head at this.

I can tell you that your statement about Golden Oak is just plain WRONG!!! They are adding massive new tract next to Fort Wilderness and the homes are being built all over original community! In fact, many of the homes are that are being built are Massive in Size with people that have no problem whatsoever with dues of any type! When you post learn your facts before you sound ignorant! Orlando has a ton of money and the idea that Orlando could not support a Club 33 is a joke! By the way the Four Seasons is booming as well right inside GOLDEN OAK!

Golden Oak was expected to sell like hot cakes, necessitating a Celebration-Esque lottery or response. That did not happen. Golden Oak has maintained steady growth and yes, the Four Seasons is thriving (despite its location in Golden Oak, I do not consider it to be a part of that. Also able to prove the point is STK which has had low numbers since opening. Yes, Orlando has money as proven by neighborhoods like Isleworth, Lake Butler Sound, & Keene's Point, but the Disney fan base with a lot of money to burn is not in Orlando. Finally, if you compared the number of high income families is the Greater Disneyland Area (Anaheim, LA (which has a multitude of rich neighborhoods such as the Hollywood Hills and Bel Air), San Diego, etc.) than the greater WDW area (Windermere, parts of Lake Nona, maybe something in the Tampa area).

You are more than welcome to dispute this, and I very well may have all of this wrong. But, while making money, isn't a resounding success.

For the low, low price of $1000 joining fee and $500 a year in annual dues, you can join Club PA... at this "exclusive" club, we have all your favorite Disney movies playing constantly on our Tv's and food catered by Chick-fil-a... we are several hundred miles away from Disney World... in Pennsylvania... Oh, and it's out of my house... but on special occasions, my 4 yr old daughter will dress up in her Elsa dress and sing "Let it Go" for you...

Honestly, there’s a reason why they chose to build a Club 33 in Shanghai. You can also bet the business case to one day build them in Hong Kong and Paris is stronger than one for the World.

For what it’s worth, I would be surprised if the WDW initiation fee is less than $50,000 and annual dues under $15,000.

I can only comment on what I have heard, but I have heard considerably less than $50,000 (at least initially). This does not preclude the idea of a tiered system either initially or later, but we should know in January for sure. Of course, we were also supposed to know in December...this is TDO after all. Annual dues around the $15,000 mark is also what is being bandied about.

You really have to have pixie dust in your brain for this. Even if 15K is chump change to you

No pixie dust in this brain, but there is plenty around here. I am simply reporting what I heard. I will say that less than 50k is better than 100k for initiation, but it still seems super high to me for what is being offered that this point. Heck, rich or not any of these numbers for Club 33 for any club is still a lot of darn money.

Considering that the new construction begins at two million when a year ago it was just one I'd say your estimated value is off
