I can't imagine they'd build new kitchens. So that means it has to be attached to existing facilities, if there will be restaurant in each park. Taking that as a start, I can think of places they could do it, although the spaces would required a lot of investment to be nice enough:

Epcot -- 3rd floor lounge that was once used as an Annual Passholder lounge - food could come from Garden Grille. Or the old Seas lounge, with food from Coral Reef Kitchen.

MK -- Is there room near Be Our Guest that could be commandeered for this? Or perhaps one of the rooms of Skipper Canteen? Or second floor space above Plaza?

DHS -- Since they are currently rebuilding half the park, they could easily build something in using one of the new kitchens. Or perhaps the old Catwalk Bar space near Brown Derby. Or the "private" room in PizzaRizzo (although seems like it'd be a poor choice for high dollar guests).

DAK -- Tiffins has a private room already, I think. Plus, there some deck space along the river that is NOT used for Tiffin's patio. Perhaps built with this in mind?

Something tells me this will just be an expensive lounge that will be priced so the bloggers can afford to join and tweet about how wonderful it is.

I don't think the people and corps that can afford the buy in and dues hang out reading theme park bloggers. Wouldn't hit the target audience to let them in. Now the Robb Report or Conde Nast might get a couple of subscriptions sold

It's another way to make some cash but it doesn't make sense. At Disney Land you didn't have a lot of food choices, especially high end restaurants, fine dining, extensive wine lists, etc.

At Disney World, you have many fine dining choices.

Exactly - We have been to Victoria and Alberts a few times. I would rather drop the $500 twice a year and still be ahead.

We have been to Club 33 with friends and it's ok. But nothing to oogle over. The food is decent, but I don't think its any better than what we can get at places like California Grill, Jiko or Yachtsman's.

Disney may have my money for DVC, but they will not be getting more for a restaurant!

Here's my rumor tracker:

April 13, 2017: WDWMagic.com is reporting that Disney is once again considering a Club 33 equivalent for Walt Disney World. The site is reporting that each park would have it's own restaurant with an expected opening date of Fall 2017.

October 15, 2016: On Episode 112 of the Unofficial Guide's Disney Dish Podcast with Jim Hill, Jim mentioned the possibility of exclusive dining coming to all four Walt Disney World theme parks as well as Disney Springs.

July 21, 2015: WDWMagic.com user WDW1974 has reported that a version of Club 33 is likely for Walt Disney World, but he did not think it would be located in the Magic Kingdom.

Spirit posted about this as early as 2013 on here, I would do a search.

So what does the "33" stand for? I've heard it's the 33rd level of free-masonry Walt achieved. Until I hear a reputable answer, that's what I'm going with.

Have to wonder if there are any unused "sponser lounges" around EPCOT that will be used for this... I like the idea, but given the timing (considering how long Disneyland has had theirs accompanied by all the other upcharge that WDW has introduced recently), I'm sure many people will see this as WDW just looking for more ways to make a quick buck... hopefully, they pull it off well...

There are a few unused sponsor lounges, yes, in various states of use.
