Club 33

[foxfire]

I just saw Club 33 on the Trav. Channel. How does one go about applying for membership? What are the fees? (Mind you, I live in FL so can't do it as of now)

There's a form you get from Disneyland. Then you get on a waiting list, I don't remember how long, but usually a few years. Membership varies, but I think personal membership is $1,000 a year.

Club 33 is not any club anyone can join... you have to get on a waiting list almost a mile long. Entry is limited to 400 individuals at a time (with only 145 in the club at a time). if you get approved for membership, the costs are ridiculous (read below).. and if you're accepted, to even get in, you have to make reservations far in advance. It is not uncommon to run into celebrities and heads of state there. It is reported that Robert Wagner, Michael Jackson, Jack Nicholson, Tom_Hanks, Rita_Wilson, Phoebe_Cates,Kevin Kline, Geena Davis, Buddy Ebsen, and Fess Parker are all members. However, most members are influential members of the business community/affluent locals, and not Hollywood Celebrities. To give an example... my brother-in-law is an internation investment executive with a major multinational bank (trust me... they're in your Citi), he commands a 6/7 figure paycheck, and can have anything he wants.... he's been on the waiting list for Club 33 for over 2 years now (And he is also a cheapskate.. lol).

Costs:

Corporate Membership
This membership is designed for organizations to make Club 33 available to a number of their executives, and has a membership fee of $20,000. This entitles the corporate member to designate up to nine associate members. Dues for Charter members are $5,000 per member and $3,750 for each Associate member per year. All memberships are transferable to other executives in the corporation.
Members no longer in the employ of the corporate member's company must surrender the membership cards to Club 33. The corporate members may then designate another member of his company.

Limited Corporate Membership
This membership is designed for organizations wishing to make Club 33 available to one of their executives, and has a membership fee of $10,000. This entitles the corporation to transfer the membership to another employee whenever necessary. For individual members, credit is extended based upon the membership fee initially paid if a transfer of membership is desired. Dues are $3,750 per year.

Individual Membership1
This particular membership is for individuals and is available at Gold or Silver levels. $7,500 for a Gold membership fee and $2,500 annual dues. $4,500 for a Silver membership fee and $1,500 annual dues. These memberships are nontransferable.
Members will be billed monthly for all charges.

Geez... If someone is a member, can they take a guest, or must both of them be members?

There is a post on one of the forums over at www.disneylandsource.com that someone tells their experience at club 33, very very interesting.

Depending on when you are making reservations for (busy season or not) if you are member it can be easy/difficult to get a reservation.

Individual members also get perks like special seating for events, previews before annual passholders and special event stuff.

The food is amazing, the prestigue interesting, atmosphere great and service amazing.

If you guys ever go try this...

Leave your napkin on your seat everytime you go to the restroom. I can almost guarrentee that when you get back the napkin will be elaborately folded for you.

It is also the only place at DL that serves alcohol and there wine list is very very good.

club 33...four seasons...

I'm going with my wife on Sunday.

As per the folding of napkins...a lot of restaurants do this (I as a waiter was told to do this at a place where full dinner just cost ya 19.99!).

Go to any four seasons restaurant...you'll probably get better food, and even better service....but no, its not Disney.
