What is Club 33? How Do I join Club 33 at Disneyland?

Club 33 is a private Disneyland club which opened in 1967 and was the first location in Disneyland to serve alcohol. Club 33 is named after its address at 33 Royal Street in New Orleans Square at Disneyland. Walt Disney designed the idea from the VIP lounges he experienced at the World Fair so that way Disneyland would have its own VIP lounge.

Club 33 is located in New Orleans Square and consists of a fine restaurant, private lounge, and a great view of Fantasmic! from the balconies above the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.

How do I get on the waitlist at Club 33 at Disneyland?

The waiting lists for Club 33 membership are at an average of about four years or more. Potential Club 33 members need to send a letter to the below address requesting to be added to the club waiting list. Calling Club 33 to ask where you are on the list is frowned upon. Remember: this is a class act establishment!

Unfortunately, it's not an easy task to become a member and the waiting list hasn't been opened in years. It is a lengthy, expensive, and exclusive process to join. You can give it a shot and write a letter to try to get on the waiting list:

Club 33 Wait List Information 1313 Harbor Blvd Anaheim, CA 9280

When the wait list is open, they will add you to the wait list but the wait list hasn't been open in a few years. Even if you do manage to get on the waiting list, you could wait years and years before you're contacted for an open spot. The last known reported length of time for the waiting list averaged at about 14 years! And it's frowned upon to call the club to ask where you are on the list- remember, this is a classy establishment! It's an honor to be invited to join and not something you can demand.

According to recent information from Club 33 members, most new members have to be invited or recommended by current members. It's no easy feat to get accepted into Club 33!

How much does Club 33 at Disneyland cost?

The most recent known price for membership estimated the annual dues for Club 33 at Disneyland are $10,000 and the initiation charge at $30,000. And there are different levels of membership. The more you pay, the more perks you receive. But even at the lowest level of membership Club 33 members receive Annual Passes, tickets for family and friends, a number of ride access passes for the year, and front row seating to Disneyland entertainment.

Fun fact: on a recent visit to Disneyland for the holiday season, we were given a few leftover Fastpasses from Club 33 members when we were sitting inside the Grand Californian. We felt like VIPs as we redeemed these FastPasses at the parks!

Is a Disneyland Club 33 membership worth it?

To the most avid Disney fans, the answer may be a hearty YES! For the average park goer, it probably isn't. Club 33 does offer VIP treatment with a number of perks in addition to access to the premiere club and that alone makes it worth it for some folks.

Club 33 is known for having high profile members like Elton John, Tom Hanks and Christina Aguilera which gives you an idea of the exclusivity and price of a membership.

Can I get in to Club 33 if I'm not a member?

The only way to gain entrance is to be invited as a guest by a current Club 33 member. You will be allowed to dine in the restaurant, hang out in the lounge, purchase merchandise (a dream come true right there!) and enjoy the lobby.

Club 33 has some extensive etiquette so if you're lucky enough to receive an invite to dinner you will likely get a lesson in what's expected of you during your visit. The behavior of guests of Club 33 members reflect on them so it's important to follow all the rules.

What are the rules of Club 33? 

The biggest rule is one that should be expected of any luxury establishment: guests must conduct themselves properly. No lewd conduct, inappropriate attire, solicitation, profanity are not allowed on premises. This also means using your best manners such as abiding by the rule regarding answering phone calls only in the hallways and not in the dining area.

There is also a dress code for attending- especially for dinner, similar to what you might expect at the Disney signature restaurants, so you should plan to dress nicely. Think dresses or slacks with a blouse for women and collared shirts and dress pants for men. If you're visiting the lounge attire is more casual but you will still want to avoid any type of athletic shorts or ripped jeans.

Guests are allowed to take pictures inside but absolutely no video recording is allowed. This is a big rule to be aware of, especially since you are likely going to be eager to document your experience.

Club 33 History and Prestige

The origins of the name of Club 33 have been debated for years but the most common origin for the name comes from the need for Club 33 to have a liquor license. It is required for any CA establishment that serves alcohol to have a physical address so thus the address 33 Royal Street is said to have inspired the name Club 33. Other claims state that the number 33 comes from the number of original Disneyland investors while others state it's because 33 looks like “mm” when titled on the side.

Disneyland's original 33 investor list

Club 33 opened in 1967. Walt Disney was intrigued by the idea of the private lounges created by sponsors of the 1964 New York World's Fair and this is what led to his plan for creating Club 33. This way Disneyland would have its own executive lounge of sorts, a place for the business partners of Walt and other important figures to enjoy the parks in an exclusive space.

Prior to Club 33, Walt Disney hosted his VIP guests in the lounge of the Red Wagon Inn restaurant at Disneyland. Because of the amount of VIPs continued to grow the lounge became too small for Walt to host all his guests. During the planning of New Orleans Square, they also planned the location of Club 33 to become the new VIP lounge. Unfortunately, Walt Disney passed away six months prior to the club's official opening in 1967 so he never got to formally experience Club 33 once it was fully operational. Club 33 opened with the idea of being a place for Disneyland corporate sponsors but individual memberships were also offered which helped paved the path for the “average” person becoming a Disneyland VIP.

The lift before Club 33's remodel

One well-known story about Walt Disney and Club 33 is the inspiration for the French Lift elevator inside the club. When Walt and his wife, Lillian, were spending time in France Walt came across a French Lift that he was drawn to immediately. He offered to purchase the elevator but the hotel declined his offer.

So when Walt returned from their trip, he told the Imagineers to get to work and create and head to the hotel to study the French Lift so they could replicate it inside Club 33. For this reason, the French Lift inside Club 33 is a must for guests to see.

There are other locations of Club 33 that exist at Tokyo Disneyland, Shanghai Disneyland and exists as a lounge in three of the parks at Walt Disney World. Your Club 33 membership is said to only be “valid” at the park you joined but it's likely Club 33 members of one park would have the connections to be invited to other lounges. Disneyland Club 33 members also get access to the 1901 Lounge at Carthay Circle in California Adventure- scroll down for a full tour of this lounge as well!

The Layout of Club 33

When guests first enter Club 33 through its iconic door in New Orleans Square they will enter a small hall to check in for dining reservations.

Entrance- Court of Angels

Upon entering, guests will wait in the Court of Angels which used to be a public space but is now closed to the public.  A few tables and chairs are present for parties who are waiting for their reservation. There are also two angels at the base of the staircase which light the way up the stairs.  

Upstairs Lobby

Guests ascend the stairs into a second reception area. This area includes the merchandise cabinet, a harpsichord, and even the famous turkey vulture who interacts with guests! It's very open and bright with a beautiful chandelier. This is also where you will find the infamous floor with the Club 33 logo. 

Veer towards the left towards Salon Nouveau as guests pass the bathrooms which are ornate and decorated with beautiful features such as their glass cabinets and chandeliers. The first part of the entrance is a wine cellar, holding hundreds of different bottles of wine from all around the world. Each side is a refrigerator as well. Moving on through there are two booths on either side, each with a different New Orleans theme, including Pirates and Haunted Mansion! Then you come into the main room for the lounge.  

Jazz Club Lounge- Salon Nouveau

Salon Nouveau is the Jazz Club inspired by Tiana's Palace, the Jazz Club seen at the end of the Princess and the Frog film. In the photos below you can see in the color scheme and the inspiration in the paintings around the room.  The ceiling was made to look like wood to match the hand carved wood making up the bar. The ceiling also features a beautiful pane of stained glass in the center. There is also a beautiful piano which can live stream concerts from all over the world.

Main Dining Room- Le Grand Salon

Le Grand Salon is the main dining room that is entered through the alley with large windows on either side. Le Grand Salon is the main dining room which guests enter through a hallway featuring large windows and murals. The wood floor features a checker board pattern which is common to many restaurants in New Orleans.  

The balconies of Club 33 overlooks New Orleans Square and even features a few designated outside tables for guests to enjoy.

Disney Artifacts and Antiques

One of the most exciting things about Club 33 for diehard Disney fans are all the artifacts in the club which includes an ornate walnut table that was used in Mary Poppins, a video capture from the same film, a harpsichord which was rumored to be custom built for Lillian Disney.

One of my personal favorites is the animatronic vulture. Before the remodel of Club 33 in 2014, the Club's previous Trophy Room which was outfitted with microphones in lighting fixtures which could pick up the sounds of conversations. The idea was that the animatronics in the room, like the vulture, would respond to the conversations of the guests.

This animatronic vulture now sits on top a grandfather clock in the upstairs lobby and was never used in practice to eavesdrop on people's conversations. That idea was likely scrapped due to privacy concerns for the elite guests. But the famous vulture remains a staple of Club 33.

The Trophy Room

Before Club 33's expansion in 2014, there used to be a room called the Trophy Room full of taxidermy animals and interesting artifacts. This is also where the animatronic vulture lived before the remodel. While the Trophy Room no longer exists at Club 33, we have pictures to honor its 47 year history.

A Glimpse of a Meal 

These dinner pictures are from a few years ago but they give you an inside look at one of the biggest features of Club 33- the five-star dining experience. Dinner is set as 5-6 courses and lunch is 4-5 courses. The menu often features a Southern influence.

First: Lobster Rockefeller with Oysters and Lemon Holl andaise

Second: Summer Corn broth with Tomato Relish, Andouille Sausage and Gulf Shrimp

Third: Grilled Diver Scallop, Gulf Shrimp, and Cheese and Grits

Fourth: Angus Filet Mignon and Hand Scalloped Potatoes

Fifth: Vanilla Creme Brulee 

Club 1901- The Second Club 33 Location

In 2012, Club 33 got a second location named Club 1901 after Walt's birth year inside Carthay Circle in Disney’s California Adventure. I was lucky enough to enjoy 1901 on the same day I visited Club 33 in the summer of 2022. The entrance to 1901 is actually right out front o Carthay Circle, you walk by all the time without realizing it's right there!

Here's a photo tour of the inside which is filled with the same nods to Disney history but with a 1930s theme and has a craftsman style.

Club 33 members can retreat to this 1930's craftsman style lounge to escape the hustle and bustle of the parks. This vintage bar and restaurant offers fine cocktails, duck, and lobster to club members only.

According to the Disney announcement at the time this club was inspired by Disney history, “Imagine it’s the 1930s, and this is where the animators would’ve hung out, swapped stories, doodled on napkins,” as 1901 is described by  Imagineer Ray Spencer.  “This is the place Walt and the animators might’ve chatted, relaxed, unwound . . . a cozy den.”

Gaining access to Club 33 is often perceived as an exclusive privilege only afforded to its members. However, it’s not entirely impossible for non-members to experience the magic hidden behind the “33” doors. Here are some tips and strategies that might just pave your way into this exclusive club.

• Network with Club 33 Members : Given that Club 33 members can extend invitations to their guests, networking with existing members is one way to potentially gain access. If you happen to know a member or can establish a connection through mutual friends, you might receive an invitation to dine or attend an event at Club 33. Remember to respect the members’ discretion in extending invitations and avoid coming across as intrusive or insistent.
• Join Charity Auctions or Fundraisers : Occasionally, Club 33 will donate a dining experience to charity auctions or fundraisers. These events provide a unique opportunity to bid on a Club 33 experience, with the added benefit of your funds going towards a good cause. Keep an eye out for these charity events, as they are one of the few ways non-members can directly secure a reservation.
• Consider Corporate Memberships : Some businesses hold corporate memberships to Club 33 and occasionally use these memberships to reward employees, entertain clients, or facilitate company events. If you work for a company that values experiences like Club 33, it may be worth discussing the possibility of a corporate membership or inquiring about opportunities to attend through existing corporate benefits.
• Visit during Special Events : During certain events, like the annual D23 Expo, Disney sometimes arranges special tours or experiences that include access to Club 33. Although these occasions are rare and spots are highly sought-after, they offer non-members a potential pathway into Club 33.
• Be Patient and Persistent : Lastly, remember that gaining access to Club 33 is no easy feat, and patience is key. Continue nurturing your love for Disney, attend Disney events, and be an active member of the Disney community. You never know when an opportunity might arise.

Although there’s no guaranteed method for non-members to enter Club 33, these strategies might just bring you a step closer to experiencing the exclusive allure of this iconic club. Always remember, the journey into Club 33, whether as a member or a guest, is about more than the exclusivity—it’s about celebrating the magic, history, and charm that Disney has to offer.

Is Club 33 the Most Expensive Experience at Disneyland? 

While Club 33 is a very exclusive and expensive private society, there is one private destination that’s even an upgrade over Club 33. This is the super private, exclusive only 21 Royal , which is Disneyland’s most expensive private suite — offering personalized fine dining, drinks, viewing areas, private beds, and dining rooms. It is upstairs from Club 33 at Disneyland, comes complete with a private butler, and costs $15,000 per night.

While Club 33’s price tag may be steep, the rewards are unquestionable.

For those with an affinity for Disney and a desire for exclusivity, Club 33 is the epitome of luxury travel, a Disneyland dream realized in grandeur and splendor.

Inside Disneyland's VIP Club 33, the Holy Grail of Luxury for Disney Fans

If you don't know a member, good luck getting in..

Updated on 10/18/2022 at 3:38 PM

You can walk past the most exclusive club in Walt Disney World and not even notice it. This isn’t surprising, considering Magic Kingdom has a nine–acre tunnel complex running beneath it for cast members to move across the park without being noticed. But this is different—this is the equivalent of a private, members-only club that’s shrouded in secrecy, in true Disney style.

There’s no sign marking the original Club 33 locale in Disneyland, which sits on Royal Street, squeezed between the shops of New Orleans Square, right around the corner from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It’s hiding in plain sight. Everything else about Club 33 is as much of a mystery and hinges on rumors: The price of membership is in the neighborhood of the average American household income. The waiting list is said to be years long. And the most Disney is willing to dish out about the club is that “members enjoy special access.”

Founded by Walt Disney, each of the Club 33 locations (there’s now one in all of the Orlando parks) is themed around Walt and Lillian’s adventures around the globe. For die-hard Disney fans, a meal inside Club 33 is a high holy experience. Shy of handing over the equivalent of a down payment on a house, how do people get in there?

The answer, like so many things in the House of Mouse, traces back to Walt himself—and they get more than a little weird along the way.

Walt Disney decided he wanted to welcome VIPs

A certain sacredness pervades the air in Disneyland that is hard to appreciate if you're only a passive fan. The park opened in Anaheim, California in 1955, as Walt Disney's original vision of his burgeoning empire. When you visit, you're still in Walt's world, one forged by his nostalgia for growing up in small-town Missouri. And yet, it’s obsessive about the future, always prizing progress.

This appetite brought Disney to the 1964 World's Fair in Queens, New York, with his aptly-named “Progressland” exhibition at the General Electric pavilion. There, animatronics reigned at such exhibits as “Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln” (which continues to operate in Disneyland to this day) and “The Carousel of Progress,” which sits in Magic Kingdom. (The other one you might have heard of? “It’s a Small World.”) The VIP areas at the World’s Fair inspired Walt Disney to conceive a new, perhaps less progressive vision for his Disneyland park: a members-only club where he could entertain his most important guests.

Thus, Club 33 was born. Disney died in 1966, a year before Club 33 opened its doors for the first time, but his vision, design, and dream was carried out, as the Walt Disney Company has done since his death. In its 55 years, the club has grown in reputation and status among Disney fanatics to become the stuff of legend.

You don't have to be rich to get in, but it doesn’t hurt

Boasting an alleged initiation fee of $25,000 to $50,000, with annual dues as high as $30,000—and a 10-year waiting list to join—Club 33 is a five-star restaurant and lounge whose members are corporations, high-rollers, and celebrities. It’s rumored that Tom Hanks is a member. Nerdist founder Chris Hardwick, actress Rebel Wilson, and former Playmate Holly Madison are purported members, too. It’s also one of the few spots inside Disneyland to serve alcohol, and there’s a mandatory dress code. But it’s difficult to confirm any of these details, because everything about the club is intentionally meant to be a mystery.

Social media has made it easier, at least, to find people who have visited 33 Royal Street. Instagram is a goldmine of photos tagged #club33 by recent visitors. It was there I connected with Myka McPeek, who lives in Anaheim and Instagrams her Disney experiences as @dizlush . She used the words “once in a lifetime,” “unforgettable,” and “bucket list” to describe her visit to Club 33, which included cocktails at the club’s Salon Nouveau lounge and a five-course dinner at Le Grande Salon, the club’s restaurant. “When something seems unattainable, you just want it more,” she says.

Through Facebook, I connected with Billy Murray, a Disneyland alumnus who was once in charge of training Disneyland character actors. Murray spent seven years as a Disney “cast member,”( Disney speak for employee) and boy do those guys have some interesting stories . He visited the club as both himself and as a character (Peter Pan), an even rarer experience in the world of Club 33 visitors.

“As far as the club's purpose, it's more tailored to celebrity clientele, people who need to escape the crowds of Disneyland,” he explains. “It gives them a place where they can bring the VIPs.” In 2015, for example, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian took their daughter, North West, to Disneyland for her birthday. During a Frozen singalong, a cast member snapped a photo of Kanye sleeping through the show. The woman playing Elsa (er, who’s “friends with Elsa,” which is how cast members describe their roles off the clock) posted about it on Facebook, touching off a TMZ teapot-tempest and a PR headache for Disney.

“[The company goes to great] extent to make those people feel safe when they're at Disney,” Murray says. “So [Kim and Kanye] were in a safe environment, they probably had bodyguards and stuff all around. And then, there was that one cast member who sneakily took a photo, which is what upsets celebrities when they feel like they're being protected by the company.” This makes a private venue for VIPs like Club 33 all the more important.

What it's like to dine at Club 33

The magic of Club 33 is peak Disney hospitality (and the hospitality at the parks is already excellent, since new cast members go through three months of training, Murray says). The interior riffs on the 19th-century New Orleans Square architecture, with light blue baroque wallpaper and golden brown parquet floors throughout. The harpsichord at reception belonged to Lillian Disney, Walt’s wife. Once you pass muster at reception, you enter a large atrium called the Court of Angels before climbing a blue iron staircase to the Salon Nouveau or Le Grande Salon.

The Salon Nouveau lounge—open to non-members only when escorted by a member—serves a $28 California caviar appetizer and $75 signature hamburger entree, paired with a glass of Champagne. The five-course menu at the neighboring Le Grande Salon serves a prix-fixe upwards of $100 that includes dishes like diver scallops, steak tartare, duck breast, and saddle of lamb, as well as a variety of salads and the requisite vegetarian selections. The desserts include pumpkin layer cake, caramel mousse, and “diligently selected cheeses.”

While the experience may seem like a Michelin one, you’re still at Disney. When leaving the club, you’ll have no choice but to exit through the gift shop, which is stocked with ephemera such as Club 33 shot glasses, Pandora bracelet charms, and custom Dooney & Bourke handbags. Members and non-members can purchase challenge coins , which you’re meant to keep on you at all times. McPeek says if someone walks up to you and “challenges” you, you must produce your coin. If you don’t have it, you owe the other person a drink.

So how do you get into Club 33 if you're not a member?

The obvious catch is about, oh, 50 large. But if you want to visit Club 33 without spending a small fortune, start asking around. Members can make lunch and dinner reservations for non-members, which makes it more accessible to us plebeians. “If you don’t know someone who is a member, good luck getting in,” McPeek says. Don’t know a guy who knows a guy? Try Craigslist. A small number of Club 33 reservations are for sale on the Orange County site, along with some desperate requests from local non-members.

Curious to know who might be posting these ads, I replied to each one. I ended up connecting with a couple from Texas under condition of anonymity, for fear of damaging a Club 33 member’s standing. This couple is willing to pay upwards of $1,500 for Club 33 reservations, and hasn’t yet found a member to make the deal. But they worry if their names were to appear in this article, Disney would find out. “I’m sure they frown on members sharing with other people who are non-members,” says the couple. Indeed, they do, especially when money is involved: In 2015, one of Club 33’s original members lost his membership after auctioning reservations for a charity fundraiser. With all things Craigslist—and with Disney—it’s recommended to proceed with caution if seeking reservations via this route.

Club 33 has opened outposts in each theme park at the Orlando resort, following the lead of Disney venues in Shanghai and Tokyo. It’s rumored that membership must be purchased at each location separately, meaning Anaheim members can’t waltz through the Tokyo Club 33 doors. The exclusivity maintains the mystique and allure of Club 33. Or, as McPeek blurted out, while dining there with her friends, “We’re not peasants today!”

Until the doors of 33 Royal Street shut behind you once more, that is.

Disneyland’s Club 33 Tour

What is Club 33?

Tucked away between the stores of new orleans square is disneyland is an exclusive, private dining club not known by many. first opening in 1967, it was the only location inside disneyland that served alcohol to its patrons. to keep the atmosphere family friendly, walt kept the parks dry., where did it get its name, since the establishment would need a liquor license, it would need an address under california law. club 33 gained its name simply from its address 33 royal street in new orleans square in disneyland.  nestled just above the pirates of the caribbean attraction and next to walt’s apartment, the club’s unassuming entrance was known among the private club members as the “green door.” this remained the entrance for many years until it was renovated in 2014, doubling its size, and the entrance was relocated to the court of angels nearby. the green door with ornate club 33 sign remains, but if you knock, no one will answer., it’s purpose, the club was created after walt’s successful vip lounges at the new york world’s fair. it was more suitable to meet with corporate sponsors in a private venue than at the former red wagon inn restaurant., unfortunately walt passed away 6 months before the club opened. at that time, memberships were offered to a select few individuals as well., i had the the luck to dine at club 33 for my 40th birthday  the original club 33 at disneyland was created by walt, though he never had a chance to enjoy it himself. today there are other club 33’s located in various disney parks worldwide.  members pay $33,000 to join and there is an annual fee of $15,000. the pricing keeps the club very exclusive. you can only enter the club as a member, or as a guest of a member., the membership fee also includes annual park passes, 50 single day admission tickets, 5 private vip tours per year, fast passes (disney genie+ passes), access to all of the exclusive lounges and restaurants, exclusive access to club 33 merchandise and a tour of the disneyland resort dream suite., ready to sign up it’s not that easy… membership is limited and it will take patience. in 2007 the wait list was so long that they would not add any more names on the list until 2012  the wait list is an average 4 year wait., before you arrive, i was lucky enough to be invited to join a member, and other guests, for my 40th birthday. i really must thank my dear friend von enselman who made it all happen for me. what a truly magical birthday gift, this elegant experience does come with rules. 1) the dress code. as a fine dining establishment you could not expect to arrive in park wear to club 33.  we enjoyed the parks during the day with our family and left the kids with a family friend while we dressed up for a night on the town.  i’m not going to lie, it was wonderful to see our group arrive at the gates of disneyland dressed to the nines.  one of our guests were asked to wear a shawl when her dress (which was tasteful) was found a bit too revealing.  dresses or slacks with a blouse for women and dress pants and collared shirts for men are the norm. 2) photos. you may take photos but no video is allowed any more. and we were informed that we were not allowed to take photos in the restrooms  i thought that was odd until i used the restroom and saw how gorgeous they were. i can see how people would be tempted to snap a pic there., the exterior.

The balcony offers a lovely view of the bustling New Orleans Square below. Guests can peek out the window or step out onto the balcony for a lovely view of the street below and gorgeous views of Fantasmic. 

Since the renovation there is now a blue door for entry nestled in amongst the stores in new orleans square. you enter to a lobby desk and are checked in..

The Downstairs Lobby

Guests enter into the court des anges (court of angels), an open air courtyard, where they can say hello to their guests, enjoy a rest at tables in the outdoor courtyard and the sound of the fountain..

Guests then ascend the winding stairs adorned with two angels, to the upstairs lobby where they are greeted by a beautifully chandelier lighting the room filled with elegant touches and a beautiful harpsichord, and a turkey vulture. Yes, a vulture!

You may think this was a reject from the enchanted tiki room. but this is disneyland after all, and of course there’s an animatronic vulture in the lobby. before the remodel, this was known as the trophy room. the room was outfitted with various microphones and the vulture would respond to conversations of the guests. although there are many rumors around this peering turkey, it was never used due to privacy concerns., the harpsichord is a hand painted scene of new orleans harbor..

Le Salon Nouveau – The Lounge

A visit to club 33 is an experience to be savored. we spent the entire evening here.  our journey started with a visit to the the le salon nouveau lounge. greeted by live jazz music, an attentive waiter and a bar manual from “hotel marceline” (marceline, missouri is where walt lived as a child), we enjoyed a great cocktail menu. a beautiful blue stained glass window was illuminated above the room filled with tables and cozy velvet lined booths tucked in among the walls. all very reminiscent of an evening new orleans jazz club.  a great place for a relaxing drink to start the experience., after the renovation the beautiful elevator that used to take guests upstairs from the entry area was displayed on the lounge. it’s absolutely beautiful. and of course there’s a walt story behind the elevator. when walt and his wife lillian, were on holiday in france, walt saw a similar lift in french hotel. he offered to purchase the lift from the hotel but was declined. he set his imagineers to get to work to create one themselves and they headed to the hotel to study the lift so they could replicate it for club 33., le grand salon restaurant, after our relaxing visit to the lounge. we were escorted into le grand salon, the dining area. we had a large group dining with us tonight so we had a lovely table in the center of the room.  nothing is rushed for this experience.  after settling in and enjoying our drinks and conversation, we were given our drink and dining menus for the evening..

Dinner was nothing short of amazing.

Guests can choose to add on a seafood course: chilled selection of oysters, poached shrimp, scallops, abalone ceviche, whole lobster tail, king crab legs and snow crab claws as well as a signature golden osetra caviar course served with crème fraiche, fingerling potatoes and fresh lemon, of course you can choose a four, five or six course wine pairing for the dinner as well., first course: asparagus dusted with fennel pollen, leek puree and rose blood orange conserve; chilled blue crab tian, snow crab claw, golden beet carpaccio and dill crème fraiche; filet mignon steak tartare, poached quall egg and country mustard; tempura fried zucchini blossom, lemon ricotta, fava bean puree and lemon jam, second course: potato leek broth and rhubarb grilled chicken, fava beans and asparagus; california green salad with nasturtium, avocado, chevre mousseline and raspberry vinaigrette; little gem lettuce, strawberry, pork rillettes, country bread and buttermilk orange dressing, third couse: sautéed sustainable fish of the day with nantucket bay scallop and crayfish etouffee; skuna bay salmon a la planche, french green lentils, oyster mushrooms and bacon; lobster cavatelli, english peas, tomato petals and australian black truffle; maple leaf duck  breast torchone with kumquat marmalade and duck mousse, fourth course: colorado lamb with green garlic, morel mushrooms and syrah sauce; petit angus filet mignon with summer squash ratatouille and sun gold tomato; potato parmesan gnocchi, english peas, roasted morel mushrooms and asparagus; slow braised beef short rib with poached onions, roasted baby carrots and zinfandel essence, cheese course: finely selected cheeses with apricot mustardo, pickled white peach and lemon-poppy seed madeleine, dessert course: salted caramel chocolate tarte, vanilla chantilly cream and pistachio crème anglaise; pecan coffee bundt cake, dark chocolate, pecan brittle and café au lait gelato; citrus celebration: tart of tangerine, passion fruit meringue and blood orange sorbet; california cherry pie, honey roasted apricot and cherry pit gelato, and of course, you are sent home with a selection of delicious candies to top it all off..

The End of a Magical Evening

After a truly spectacular experience with a wonderful group of people, we all left through the court of angels. the stars shone through the night sky above us in the open court yard. we said our fond farewells and my husband and i strolled over in our dressy clothes to take a ride on space mountain to top off the evening. we then headed back to rescue our babysitter who had 7 children in a hotel suite. she had the littlest sleeping on her, most of the older children were asleep, my youngest lay on the floor passed out from too much fun, and my oldest was of course awake. as a parent, i knew my kids were happy and well cared for while we had the chance to experience club 33. here’s to terrie wepner for offering to stay behind while we enjoyed the night out as adults..

Inside Club 33 at Disneyland, Photos and Cost

Step inside the exclusive Club 33 at Disneyland. See fascinating photos, delicious dining, and what it costs to join Club 33.

There is a whimsical, almost indescribable feeling in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square. This sensation comes from the tight, detailed alleyways, strings of Mardi Gras beads that hang overhead, and the smell of creole spices steaming from restaurant windows. There are tiny shops, jazz singers, and even Disney cast members dressed in elegant, 1940’s-style costumes. For those who know, New Orleans Square is also home to a very exclusive club.

For most of my life, Disneyland’s Club 33 was a mythic place that I could only dream of entering. I would stare at its door, waiting for the day I’d enter for a chance to experience Disney’s best-kept secret. Visualized by Walt Disney as a place to gather his investors, it’s the only space in the Disneyland Park with a full bar, enormous selection of wine, and a 5-star restaurant. Disney is secretive about Club 33’s cost and access. A-list celebrities and Fortune 500 CEOs are amongst its select members.

What It Costs to Join Club 33

According to insiders, fees to join Club 33 are $25,000 with $12,000 annual dues. However, the many membership perks include exclusive access to new attractions, private events, VIP tour guides, valet parking, and hotel upgrades. Since Disneyland caps member numbers, the wait list for the club can be extensive. At one point, the rumored list was 14 years long until Disney opened more slots in 2012.

Photos of Club 33 at Disneyland

The club’s entrance is tucked away in one of the Big Easy alleys, only marked by its titular number (there’s an older, now “false” entrance that many think is the real deal). To get inside, you’ll need to ring the bell and wait. A cast member will ask the name of the reservation before allowing access.

The check-in room is small but wonderful nonetheless. There is regal wallpaper, breezy curtains, and striking décor like a gorgeous bust of Marie Antoinette. Once you’ve checked in, you’re escorted to an atrium-style outdoor area called the Court of Angels (due to the angelic statues). The opulence continues with a winding staircase, a water fountain, and even a glowing caged fairy.

The restaurant and lounge portions of Club 33 are on the second floor. Those walking the streets of New Orleans Square don’t see or hear the dining guests from the above VIP club. However, there is a balcony for diners of Club 33 to eat — but, as we were told, not to drink.

On this brisk January evening, we elected to dine inside. As we waited for our table, a cast member reminded us that we weren’t in the proper attire. Usually, we’d be embarrassed by this type of oversight, but this reservation was made thirty minutes before our arrival. We weren’t prepared for the treat we’d find that day. Club 33 requires collared shirts for men, so we purchased their signature polos — which fit surprisingly well!

The Dining Experience

On our way into the Le Grande Salon restaurant, we saw a long hallway with wine and a lounge. In the central area was a large chandelier and a vulture oddly placed on a grandfather clock. When we looked away, the bird spoke to us in a gruff tone. We quickly whipped our heads back to see that he was an audio-animatronic. The hostess told called him Alfred. The Disney magic, as it seemed, was just beginning.

We saw dozens of dining guests filled in the lavish yet intimate dining area. All were smiling — much different than the other fine dining experiences we’ve had at exclusive clubs. Though Club 33 transports guests away from the hustle and bustle of Disneyland, this space was sprinkled with reminders of the thrills that exist outside its doors. There was a family-friendly vibe as parents fed their young children. A few diners were wearing Mickey ears with their gowns.​

Being that the restaurant is 5-star, the wait staff was impeccable. If you needed to use the restroom, you’d find a newly refolded napkin waiting for you. Everyone was friendly, courteous, and not presumptuous in any way (unlike some of the other fine-dining establishments we’ve visited).

Speaking of the restroom, that was an entirely different experience. We weren’t allowed to take photos (we wouldn’t post restroom photos anyway), but the walls were covered in rich, dark wood. There was a bookshelf with a tissue box inside one of the books. Tiny bottles of mouthwash and other toiletries were in large mason jars and baskets. The best part, however, was the toilet stall. Though it was motion-activated, there was also an old-style hand pull and copper pipes that would flush the bowl. All of it was strangely amusing!

We were able to choose from a large selection of cocktails or ask for our favorite from the full bar. We chose champagne, and I also order a Mai Tai (just felt like something a Disney Imagineer might ask for — and the best Mai Tai I’ve ever had). The idea of being served hard alcohol in Disneyland was thrilling. It was like being seventeen and receiving wine on Christmas by one of our family members. We were breaking an age-old rule in the cleverest way.

If you’re curious about the numbers, dinner was a five-course meal at $130 per plate. There was also a five-course wine pairing starting at $65 a plate. We began with osetra caviar served with potatoes, chives, and sour cream (not included in the five-course meal). The caviar was mildly salty, and the waiter was happy to bring us extra potatoes to try with it. For the appetizer, I chose the grilled winter white asparagus with black truffle aioli. The asparagus was thick and crunchy which perfectly meshed with the creamy aioli. Second, I had the green oak salad with spiced walnuts and cranberry tangerine vinaigrette. This was a sweet and salty combination that flowed perfectly after the appetizer.

For the third plate and the entrée, I chose the roasted duck with kale gnocchi and braised beef short rib. I’m not much of a duck fan, but it was the best I’ve ever had. The flavor was more buttery than gamey, and the gnocchi was perfectly pillowy. I believe that Disney has some of the best short rib, and Club 33 delivered the finest I’ve ever had. Each bite felt crisply charred, yet melted in my mouth. I concluded the meal with an order of warm pineapple upside down cake. The Dessert arrived with pineapple sorbet which tasted just like Disneyland’s famed Dole Whip. The combination of tropical flavors were excitingly sweet and not too punchy.

At the end, we felt stuffed and warm from the cocktails and champagne. It was time to pay the bill and head back into the main park. Yet, I didn’t want to leave. The artwork like original sketches of Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Mark Twain Riverboat covered the walls. The rest of the décor was a hodgepodge of curios from around the globe. I had a hundred questions and not enough time to ask.

Shortly after, we blissfully thanked the hostess before walking down the steps into the atrium and exiting the doors. As the crisp winter hair brushed my face, I saw a family of four eagerly stare inside. A mother and father guided their young son’s attention to the white bust in the corner. Their teenage daughter looked at me with wide eyes as I walked by. They absorbed as much as they could, smiling and shaking with joy before the door closed. I knew that feeling all too well. It’s the thrill of knowing that there are more corners of Disneyland to explore. And, for me, I’m excited that I haven’t seen them all.

What is Club 33 Disney World?

Club 33 is a creative concept that Walt Disney came up with himself. It is basically an exclusive club for people who wish to stay away from crowds and enjoy the elite treatment. The idea popped up in Walt Disney’s mind when Disneyland was overcrowded, and there was no distinction between elite-class people and the common public.

Walt Disney preferred working with investors on trying out new businesses at Disneyland. He also involved special friends and film folks in various places in Disneyland. So, it became tough to keep his close associates away from every regular park visitor. Therefore, he came up with the idea of Club 33.

So, he made this special place keeping in mind the fulfillment of his dreams by having peaceful discussions with his associates. Since you know well enough that the best discussion and concrete plans only take over a drink and good food, Club 33 is specifically designed as a bar, lounge, and restaurant. Also, you will find an adjacent smoking room and private parlor where wealthy people close their billion-dollar deals.

What makes Club 33 special?

Since Club 33 is an exclusive membership club, it offers the best elitism, concierge-level career, and services with loads of secrecy.

It not only has a fancy bar and restaurant  but Club 33 has some authentic movie props too. Are you wondering what those props are? Well, they have props from movies like “The Happiest Millionaire” and “Mary Poppins.” Plus, it also possesses some artwork from the entire world.

However, now Club 33 is present all across the globe with the perfect elegance and detail. And their soul motto is luxury! Club 33 is special because of its exclusiveness. Keeping in mind the wishes of Walt Disney, the place is the elite’s sanctuary. Plus, it also means the benchmark of achievements and success.

That’s why it also creates a sense of anonymity. There is a specially made Club 33 gate that is, of course, fake, which is perfect for people to click pictures.

Just beside that, you will find the actual door, where you need to scan to get into the park. All the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Parks have the same setup at all their locations.

Unlocking the Secrets: What is Club 33 at Disneyland?

If you have ever wondered what Club 33 at Disneyland is all about, then you have come to the right place.

While many Disneyland enthusiasts are familiar with Club 33, some may still be curious about what it entails.

What is Club 33 at Disneyland? – Club 33 is a VIP-only club located inside Disneyland, with Club 33 locations also available at Disney World and other Disney parks around the world. As a member of Club 33, you are given access to a private dining and lounge experience.

The club is named after the original Disneyland Club 33 location at 33 Royal Street in New Orleans Square, and is considered to be quite elusive since its entrance is not visible to park-goers unless they know where to look.

In this article you’ll learn more about what is Club 33 at Disneyland and what secrets it holds.

( The Ultimate Guide to Disneyland )

Benefits of Club 33 Membership

Membership to Club 33 comes with a host of benefits, including:

1. Annual park passes

As a Club 33 member, you receive annual park passes for Disneyland, which is a great benefit since it allows you to enter the park whenever you want during the year.

With the annual park passes, you can enjoy all of the rides, attractions, and entertainment that Disneyland has to offer without having to worry about buying tickets each time you visit.

This benefit is particularly useful for those who live near the park and want to visit frequently or for those who are planning an extended stay in the area.

Another great thing about the annual park passes is that they also allow you to bring guests with you to the park.

This means that you can share the magic of Disneyland with your family and friends, which is especially important if you have young children or relatives who are big Disney fans.

The passes are also transferable, which means that you can lend them to your friends or family members who want to visit the park without you.

2. 50 single-day admission tickets

In addition to the annual park passes, Club 33 members receive 50 single-day admission tickets that they can use to bring guests with them to the park.

These tickets are a great benefit since they allow you to share the Disneyland experience with your family and friends without having to pay for their tickets each time.

You can use these tickets to bring up to 50 guests with you to the park, which is particularly useful if you have a large family or group of friends.

The single-day admission tickets are also transferable, which means that you can give them to friends or family members who want to visit the park without you.

This is a great way to share the magic of Disneyland with others and to give your loved ones a chance to experience the park for themselves.

It’s worth noting that these single-day admission tickets cannot be used in conjunction with the annual park passes.

They are separate from the annual passes and have to be used on their own. Additionally, these tickets have an expiration date, so they have to be used within a certain timeframe.

3. 5 private VIP tours per year

As a Club 33 member, you have the privilege of enjoying five private VIP tours of Disneyland each year.

These tours are exclusive to Club 33 members and provide an intimate and personalized look at the park.

During the tour, you’ll be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who will take you on a behind-the-scenes journey through the park’s attractions, shows, and landmarks.

The tours allow you to skip the lines and get a VIP experience that is not available to the general public.

You’ll be able to enjoy the park’s rides and attractions without having to wait in long lines, which is particularly useful during busy times of the year.

The tours also give you a chance to learn more about the park’s history and to see areas of the park that are not accessible to regular visitors.

Each private Disney VIP tour can accommodate up to 10 guests, which means that you can bring your family and friends with you to enjoy the experience.

You can use the tours to celebrate special occasions or to create unique and unforgettable memories with your loved ones.

4. Set premier access to rides during your visit

One of the most coveted benefits of Club 33 membership is the set premier access to rides during your visit.

This means that as a Club 33 member, you get to skip the lines and enjoy the park’s rides without having to wait in long queues.

This is a fantastic benefit, particularly during the busy seasons when the park can get crowded, and lines can be several hours long.

The set premier access to rides is a VIP experience that is not available to the general public.

As a Club 33 member, you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite rides without having to wait in line, which means you can enjoy more rides and attractions during your visit.

This benefit also applies to the newest and most popular rides in the park, which can have wait times of several hours.

The set premier access to rides is a great way to get the most out of your visit to the park and create unforgettable memories with your family and friends.

It’s also a great way to avoid the stress and frustration that can come with waiting in long lines, particularly if you’re traveling with young children or elderly family members.

5. Access to all of the exclusive lounges and restaurants

As a Club 33 member, you get access to all of the exclusive lounges and restaurants in best Disneyland restaurants , which means you can indulge in some of the best food and drinks the park has to offer.

From fancy cocktail bars to fine dining restaurants, Club 33 members get to experience it all.

This is where members can enjoy an unparalleled dining experience, with a menu that features the best in American and French cuisine.

The restaurant also boasts an extensive wine list, which has been carefully curated to complement the menu.

The Club 33 restaurant is more than just a place to eat, it’s an experience in itself.

With its elegant decor and stunning views of the park, it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring.

And if you’re lucky, you might even spot some of your favorite Disney characters wandering around.

But the Club 33 restaurant isn’t the only exclusive dining option available to Club 33 members.

There are plenty of other lounges and restaurants to choose from, each with its own unique atmosphere and menu.

From the cozy confines of the Hearthstone Lounge to the luxurious surroundings of the Carthay Circle Restaurant, there’s something for everyone.

6. Exclusive access to Club 33 merchandise

As a Club 33 member, you get access to a whole range of exclusive Club 33 merchandise that’s not available to the general public.

This includes everything from apparel to collectibles, so you can show off your Club 33 membership in style.

One of the most popular items of Club 33 merchandise is the iconic Club 33 logo, which can be found on everything from t-shirts to hats.

The logo is instantly recognizable and is a great way to show off your membership to other Disney enthusiasts.

But the Club 33 merchandise doesn’t stop there.

There are also exclusive collectibles available, such as pins and artwork, that are only available to Club 33 members.

These collectibles are highly sought-after by Disney enthusiasts and can be a great addition to any collection.

7. A tour of the Disneyland Resort Dream Suite

As a Club 33 member, you get access to some of the most exclusive and luxurious areas of Disneyland, including the Disneyland Resort Dream Suite.

This is a private suite located inside the park that’s typically reserved for VIPs and celebrities, but as a Club 33 member, you get the chance to see it for yourself.

The Disneyland Resort Dream Suite is the epitome of luxury and elegance.

From the grand entrance to the plush furnishings, everything about the suite screams opulence.

As you walk through the suite, you’ll be amazed by the attention to detail and the high-end finishes. It’s like stepping into a fairy tale!

But the Disneyland Resort Dream Suite is not just a pretty face.

It’s a chance to see one of the most exclusive and coveted areas of Disneyland and to experience the park in a way that few others ever will.

All of these benefits make Club 33 membership highly coveted among Disneyland enthusiasts, but it’s important to note that becoming a member is not easy, and the cost of membership can be quite high.

Joining Club 33

Joining Club 33 is not as simple as paying a fee; in fact, the membership application process can be quite lengthy.

To apply for Club 33 membership, you must email [email protected] for Walt Disney World, or submit a written letter of inquiry to Club 33 Member Services, 1600 S. Disneyland Drive Anaheim, CA 92802 for Disneyland in California.

Consequently, some people have waited up to 10 years to be granted membership, and some years, no new memberships are granted.

If you are granted membership, you will need to pay a membership activation fee and an annual fee to maintain your membership.

The membership cost at Disneyland and Disney World differs, with Walt Disney World being more expensive due to the more extensive locations and perks that come with its Club 33 membership.

Although the bird doesn’t talk anymore, you can still hear it occasionally make noise.

But perhaps the most impressive part of Club 33 is the food.

Considered some of the best in the Disney parks, the prix fixe five-course meal is a popular choice.

The menu features the best in American and French cuisine, with dishes like lamb and roast duck being some of the highlights.

And the extensive wine list has been carefully curated to complement the menu, ensuring that every bite is a culinary delight.

What is Disney World Club 33?

Adventureland: Magic Kingdom's location of their Club 33 lounge

According to Disney World's website , Club 33 is vaguely described as “a private Membership club with a variety of tailored experiences for its Members.” There is not much else listed on Disney's website regarding price, what these exclusive experiences entail, or any other general information regarding the Club 33 Disney World membership. However, if you dig a bit further, there is other information regarding this private club which we will get into more below. 

Club 33 lounges are located at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, Tokyo Disneyland, and Shanghai Disneyland. Club 33 Disney World members specifically have access to the Club 33 lounges which are located at each of the four Disney World theme parks. According to Disney, each of the lounges is uniquely themed and represents Walt and Lillian Disney's adventures they shared around the world. The following Club 33 lounges are located at Disney World: 

• Captain's Quarters at the Magic Kingdom is located in the Adventureland area. This lounge pays homage to the Adventurer's Club which makes its location in Adventureland very fitting.
• Spotlight Lounge at Hollywood Studios is located just above the Hollywood Brown Derby Restaurant near the Chinese Theater. Rumors state the lounge gives tribute to old Hollywood, similar to various themes around the theme park. 
• Constellation Club at EPCOT is located within the American Adventure Pavilion in the World Showcase. This Club 33 lounge was previously the location of Disney Chase Visa cardholder lounge but has since been refurbished to Club 33 lounge standards. Various leaked photos of the Constellation Club show a more modern theme with black and white photos of Walt Disney throughout the lounge. 
• Harambe House at Animal Kingdom is located in the Africa area of the theme park. Guests can spot the building's name with the phrase “thelathini na tatu,” which in Swahili means “thirty three.” 

Disney World Club 33 History

Despite the lack of overall information about Club 33, there is a bit of history available on the club and how it came to be. Although there are several theories on how the name “Club 33” came to be, the first Club 33 location opened in 1967 in Disneyland and is located at 33 Royal Street in New Orleans Square. We were lucky enough to visit the Club 33 lounge in Disneyland.

Read more about the history and all about our experience at the Club 33 lounge at Disneyland.

The first Club 33 Disney World lounge was opened at Hollywood Studios in the spring of 2018, followed shortly by the other three Disney World theme parks. 

Walt Disney created the first Club 33 lounge at Disneyland to invite special guests to a private lounge. Walt knew how busy and overwhelming the theme parks could be, and he wanted a space to entertain VIPs such as celebrities, investors, and other senior corporate officials. The success of this lounge was then transferred to Disney World and other international Disney parks as well, where it continues to be a private getaway for VIP guests. 

Along with little information about the Club, there is also a lack of photos of the Club 33 lounges at Walt Disney World. For the Walt Disney World locations, Disney strictly prohibits the distribution of photos of the lounges to keep it as private as possible. Although there have been some leaked photos, most of the lounges have been successfully kept private to Club 33 members only. However, if you look closely, guests can see some of these lounges hidden in plain sight throughout the parks. You just won't be able to see the inside of the lounges unless you have membership access. This isn't the case for the Disneyland locations where photos are allowed. It was a genie out-of-the-bottle situation. I am sure if they could forsee the popularity of the content on social media, there would be no photos allowed at the Disneyland locations also.

All Disney Club 33 Locations Around the World

Club 33 Lounge at Disneyland Resort

As previously mentioned, there is a Club 33 lounge located at all four Walt Disney World theme parks. However, there are also Club 33 lounges located at Disneyland and other international Disney parks as well, including:

• The original Club 33 lounge located at Disneyland Resort opened in 1967. In 2014, the lounge went through extensive renovations which included doubling the size of the lounge and changing its entrance location (to about 40 feet away from the original entrance). 
• Tokyo Disneyland opened its first Club 33 lounge in 1983 located within the park's World Bazaar area. This lounge was inspired by the World Bazaar's elegant style, and members can enjoy fine dining as well as a private balcony overlooking Cinderella's castle. 
• Shanghai Disneyland opened its Club 33 lounge in 2016 on Mickey Avenue. Although this lounge opened fairly recently, it does not disappoint. Shanghai Disneyland's lounge was inspired by Fantasia, where members can enjoy the fanciful décor and furnishings and tributes to the classic animated film. 

There are a total of eight Club 33 lounges located throughout Disneyland, Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, and Shanghai Disneyland. 

Perks Associated with Disney World Club 33 Membership

If you are lucky enough to become a Club 33 Disney World member, there are various perks and benefits that you can use for yourself and your guests. It is rumored only a few hundred memberships are accepted per Disney park. Additionally, just because you are a Club 33 member at Disney World does not mean you can access the Club 33 lounges at the other Disney parks. This means each membership is exclusive to the park at which it was purchased. 

However, with a Club 33 Disney World membership, you also receive the following:

• 50 single-day guest passes to the Disney parks each year
• An annual pass to the park at which you are a member
• Five private VIP tours each year
• Six (estimated) Genie+ fast passes during visits to Disney World
• Exclusive access to Disney World's lounges at each of the four theme parks
• Exclusive Club 33 Member merchandise for purchase
• Other VIP experiences (for example, Disneyland Club 33 members can tour the Disneyland Resort Dream Suite and access The 1901 Lounge at Cathay Circle Theater)

How to Become a Club 33 Disney World Member

If you want to inquire about becoming a Club 33 Disney World member, Disney states on their website to contact a representative via e-mail at [email protected] . Disney World also implies that there is a long wait list for becoming a Club 33 member, as a frequently asked question is “I e-mailed my interest in Club 33. Why haven't I heard back?” Disney states they will contact those who inquired “as membership opportunities are evaluated,” indicating there is likely a waitlist and lengthy process. There have even been rumors of a waitlist for as long as 15 years to become a Club 33 member at Disney World.

Even if you can get through the extensive waitlist, you will also need to have the money to shell out on a membership. For a Club 33 Disney World membership, you are required to pay an estimated $33,000 upfront initiation fee. Additionally, members are required to pay an annual fee of $15,000 each year they intend to be a Club 33 member. Other clubs have similarly priced initiation and annual fees. Disneyland Club 33 members are required to pay $25,000 upfront and $10,000 annually. Considering Disney World Club 33 members have access to four different lounges, including general ticket access to the four different theme parks, the price isn't too “bad” in comparison to Disneyland's membership cost. 

In addition to individual memberships, it appears Disney also offers corporate-level Club 33 memberships as well. If you're lucky enough, you could possibly be invited to a Club 33 lounge through a friend or family member's corporation membership. Most Disney fans will tell you visiting a Club 33 lounge is a huge bucket list item. This is not only due to its exclusive membership and overall level of intrigue but also to feel as if they are being welcomed into Walt's own private lounge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many ask how much it costs to join Disney's exclusive Club 33. For Disney World, the initiation, or upfront fee, to join Club 33 is $33,000. After becoming a member, there is an additional $15,000 annual fee. Disneyland also offers a Club 33 membership which costs $25,000 upfront and $10,000 annually.

In order to enter the Club 33 Disney World lounges, you must have a Club 33 membership at Disney World, which requires a high upfront and annual fee. If you are not a member, you must be invited by another Club 33 Disney World member in order to access the Club 33 Disney World lounge or take advantage of the membership's perks.

Club 33 Disney World is an exclusive lounge located at all four theme parks. In Magic Kingdom, the Club 33 lounge called Captain's Quarters is located in Adventureland. At EPCOT, the Club 33 lounge is located in the American Adventure Pavilion, and is called the Constellation Club. The Club 33 lounge at Hollywood Studios is called the Spotlight Lounge and is located above the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant. Lastly, Animal Kingdom's Club 33 lounge, Harambe House, is located in the Africa area of the park. These lounges are where Club 33 members can enjoy gourmet meals and take a break from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks.

As expected with the high cost of becoming a Club 33 member, there are many amazing benefits that come with being a member. This includes an annual pass, 50 single-day admission tickets to give friends or family, 5 private VIP tours per year, Genie+ access, as well as access to the Club 33 lounges located within the theme parks including exclusive Club 33 merchandise.

Club 33 New-Look Photo Tour & Review

This post contains our photos and review of lunch at Club 33, the private membership restaurant in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square, which recently underwent a dramatic redesign and expansion. Well, “recently” and “new look” might not be entirely accurate. At this point, it was about a year and a half ago, so this is old news in terms of Disney updates. However, given that the previous look of Club 33 had lasted from 1967 until 2014, this is still the “new look,” relatively speaking.

We are extremely fortunate to have been able to experience both dinner and lunch at the original Club 33 . You can read about the history of Club 33 in our dinner post . I’m not going to revisit all of that in this post. From a practical perspective, I realize this “review” is going to be helpful to virtually no one. For one, the menu has already changed since our recent lunch at Club 33. More importantly, few people are going to pass up the opportunity to dine at Club 33 for the first time. If we are all being honest with ourselves, most of us would jump at the opportunity to experience Club 33 due to the exclusivity and history of the place.

No review is going to change that. I debated for a while as to whether I would even write this review for that very reason. Plus, at what point does sharing experiences at Club 33 go from being informative and interesting, to being boastful and entitled? It’s in no way my intent to boast, so hopefully the post doesn’t come across that way. In the end, though, my prevailing thought is: “dammit, we spent a lot of money on this meal, I’m going to at least get one blog post out of it!” 😉

To that end, rather than fixate on particular aspects of our meal, I’m going to share some photos of it, the interiors of the restaurant, and high-level thoughts on our experience at Club 33. Hopefully it’s interesting to some of you…

A lot of critical commentary has already been written about the Club 33 redesign, so I’ll jump headfirst into that. My biggest problem with the new-look Club 33 is that a large chunk of its history has been gutted, and replaced with generic high-end finishings. I understand the need to balance history with a lavish, modern guest experience. Balance is the operative word, and my issue with the redesign is that the “balance” struck was an awful one. Rather than paying tribute to the rich history that underscores Club 33, there are but a few superficial nods to that history, and they range from weak at best to offensively bad at worst.

For us, the previous allure of visiting Club 33 was its history that is now largely absent. While Walt Disney passed shortly before Club 33 opened its doors, it was still his Club. His designs, his details, his vision. Now, it is not. The original lobby and Trophy Room are both gone. The storied French Lift has been converted into a booth for one (who on earth thought this was a good idea?!). Other beloved details have been removed.

There are a few scattered items of historical import, but they are scattered about like overt homages to the original Club 33, rather than actual elements of the new Club’s design. Before, Club 33 oozed history. As a guest you felt like you were dining in Walt Disney’s private club. It was enchanting and truly magical to step into a place that was simultaneously a dignified social club and also such a treasured piece of Disney history.

With the rich history of Club 33 gone, I found myself left wondering what separates Club 33 from any ‘ole private membership club in Los Angeles or Orange County. As I’m not a member of any such clubs, the question is at least somewhat rhetorical, but the only answer I can produce is “it’s in Disneyland.”

I’m sure this remains enough of a selling point to keep demand high for new memberships, as companies and individuals want to be able to entertain business partners and guests at an exclusive club in Disneyland. There are myriad private membership clubs in the area each with some sort of unique draw, but nothing else has this unique draw.

No matter what Disneyland does to Club 33, demand is unlikely to ever dry up–there’s too much corporate and private wealth in the area and the appeal of an exclusive club in Disneyland is too much. Club 33 could be redesigned to a glorified Red Lobster, and I think that sufficient membership demand would remain.

I’ll admit my thoughts here are at least partially colored by bitterness. I’m bitter that Club 33 annexed Court of Angels, a wonderful quiet spot that was one of my favorite in Disneyland . I’m bitter about negative ways its expansion hurt the aesthetics of New Orleans Square. I’m bitter that whomever was heading up this project, both in Imagineering and Team Disney Anaheim management, did not respect Disneyland history.

All of this actually made me feel guilty about returning to Club 33. By going back, I was giving tacit approval to everything that made me bitter. Actions speak louder than words, and visiting made me a hypocrite. In my case, it rendered my protests about what happened to Court of Angels meaningless. I justified it by telling myself that the damage was long done and irreversible, and my visit wasn’t going to change anything. (Still, I’m a hypocrite–I should’ve kept my word and never gone back.)

With that said, to fixate entirely on the negative of the new-look Club 33 would require neglecting the many significant upgrades made around Club 33. The hallway leading to the dining room is lovely, and has a nice sense of sophistication to it.

The art choices throughout the restaurant are nice, with many pieces reflecting designs for Disneyland, New Orleans Square, especially.

The new restrooms are excellent, and will certainly earn a spot on the inevitable best bathrooms at Disneyland list!

Likewise, the new upstairs entrance area looks nice, with a lot of detail and texture in the floor and ceiling.

These are just a few examples, and there are plenty of other positive changes. I don’t necessarily think the original Club 33 felt tired or dated, but it definitely needed some refreshes. The new-look Club 33 does not have those issues, and the overall feeling is one of well-appointed sophistication. By and large, I found the design choices to be good.

There’s a lot of Art Nouveau infused into the redesign, and I’m not entirely sure why. Some of it is well-integrated, but in other cases, it feels like “Art Nouveau Riche.” Excessive ornamentation for its own sake, as if to flaunt its own fanciness and say, “look at me…I’m expensive design!” Same goes with overuse of the logo–Club 33 is a dignified club, not an ostentatious LV handbag.

In terms of design, I loved the look of the new Salon Nouveau Jazz Lounge, but that’s another topic for another day, I think.

Then, there’s the new Club 33 menu.

Club 33 brought in Chef Andrew Sutton, who also heads Napa Rose and Carthay Circle Restaurant, two of Disney’s most inspired dining options anywhere in the world.

His work on the Club 33 menu likewise improved it dramatically.

While some members and guests lament the loses of favorites (we were particularly fond of the lunch buffet), the new menu is exciting and ever-changing.

The old menu reminded me a bit of a traditional country club, where people would come week in and out to order the same tried and true favorites.

By contrast, the new menu is inventive and pushes the envelope, presumably going for and more chic and upscale vibe.

I’d be curious as to how members feel about this. My preference is on the side of the inventive menu, as it would would make every visit feel unique and fresh, but I could see many members favoring the familiarity and memories of revisiting their favorites, like that famous Chateaubriand. I could certainly get used to having that every week!

As impressed as I was with the menu, it was not enough to save the experience. I know that seems silly to say given that Club 33 is ostensibly just a restaurant , but it’s really so much more–or was, at least. For me, Club 33 was an elegant experience in Disneyland and Walt Disney history with a dining component. Now, it is just a private fine dining restaurant.

Overall, the new-look Club 33 was a disappointment in the regards that mattered most to me. I’m glad I got to see it once, but once is enough. The restaurant feels more upscale and there are definite improvements in design and menu, but that misses the point. There are literally hundreds of upscale restaurants in the greater Los Angeles area, many of which do fine dining better. Ripping out the history–the heart and soul of Club 33–was too great of a price for making it feel fancier. None of this will stop it from being popular and a bucket list location for Disney fans. There’s an inherent appeal to things that are exclusive, and we all want to be places where we can’t normally go. I’m not immune to it, so it would be silly and condescending for me to say, “pass up a visit to Club 33 if you have the chance.”

The allure of exclusive experiences is instinctual, I think. Heck, I even see it in our cat. He has no interest in any room until the door to it is shut, and then he rattles at the door until we open it, only to lose interest totally once the door is wide open. Likewise, I think most Disney fans would lose interest in the new-look Club 33 if the door were wide open to the general public and the menu–with prices–were posted out front. Aside from exclusivity, there’s nothing Club 33 has that Napa Rose and Carthay Circle Restaurant don’t.

Written by Tom Bricker

It’s pretty disturbing that most people don’t understand the significance of 33 and why he named it that.

The entire place is heavily masonic. It’s so sad. I used to love Disney so much and even considered looking into the residences at Golden Oak. Not anymore.

Very nice article. I dined frequently in the 80’s. It was very special and understated. Very few really knew about it, and no one was screaming from roof tops about it. The Trophy room was not the best seat in the house back then- it didn’t have the glam of the main room. No one wanted to be seated in there. We were all in a curfuffle when the Sunday brunch buffet became more regular. We all thought it was a bit more Plaza Inn than the Club. So things change and stylistically the latest reincarnation: not for the better. Quite honestly, like new paint themes in the park, it’s over saturated, over done, over everything. The best thing about entering was the lift- the place was pretty much built around it. To just shut it down regardless of the reason (I get it, but spend the money please…) is a very big shame. I liked that it was waitresses only, in French maid looking attire. They were all very leggy and gorgeous. Not being sexist, just a preference. I liked the old school country club menu, and sometimes they had fettuccine Alfredo on the menu that they would make at your table. I can appreciate an update, but the wrong people were on the job. If things don’t change for the better, leave it until you can. My days of 3 martini lunches and a big expense account are gone, but even if I had the opportunity…I would give the new Club a pass. The photos were garishly unsettling. I can see how the new breed of those who say, “I’m going to Disney!” would love it- along with logo mouse ears and other things. Disney is not a person or a family anymore, but people love it and pay for it. I say, “I’m going to the Park”, but I’m not sure I’d say it anytime again.

WDW has gotten a lot of flack for replicating Club 33 in Florida but, frankly, their program seems like it is more thought out for the members. Clubs with a great cocktail program, small plates and snacks, where you can enjoy the A/C and relax, without feeling the need to have a full meal if you don’t want. Much better experience I think than being kind of obligated to order a full meal. 1901 at DCA seems like this too.

I dined at C33 several times before the renovation and once at the new club. i agree with your assessment and would add that to me, it’s Just an expensive meal in a restaurant. I don’t find the slightest spark of magic in the place anymore. For those fans who feel they’re missing out on something special, I’d suggest that they’re really not.

How depressing is this comment? The most depressing part is that I find it to be totally true.

Really appreciate your candor on this. I have been intrigued to see what the design changes were, and while I initially thought they looked great, your commentary on the removal of so much history is disappointing. So many reviews I read are jaded by the fact that they were lucky enough to eat there that it blinds them to actual quality. If a die-hard Disney fan like yourself doesn’t feel the need to go back, it speaks volumes!

Hi Tom. I am just curious. Why is club 33 worth it? The amount of money to join and pay each year is crazy to me. I’ve read some benefits online but don’t see why someone would pay these prices? The benefits don’t seem that great for all that money. But then again, if you have all that money, I guess why not. Just wondering you opinion.

From my perspective, it isn’t even remotely worth it. That goes for both before and after the refurbishment.

I could only see having membership to such a club for business purposes, if you need to entertain clients. In that case, I probably could only see Club 33 if it’s a family-oriented business with a lot of the clients traveling with their families.

Beyond that, I think it’s a “more money than we know what to do with” type of thing. I highly doubt any members are weighing cost-benefit when contemplating whether to renew their Club 33 membership. If you even have to think about that, it’s probably not worth it.

I absolutely agree about the history being taken out. While I’ve watched Disney systematically destroy much of what I loved about WDW (EPCOT Center, Disney-MGM Studios, River Country, Contemporary … well, every monorail resort since the advent of DVC) it seems more painful to see changes at DL that actively are taking the Walt out (yes, misplaced Star Wars Land, I am looking at you!)

I’d say that is what you have witnessed at Club 33. Now, I’m not crazy enough to be a member, but I have been (you may recall standing me up for ‘dog reasons’ last summer when I was lunching at the Club!) and I think what has happened is the demos of the Club have changed.

No longer is it so much a perk for businesses and local corps and entertainment industry execs (although they all remain part of it), but now Disney actively sees a huge revenue stream with BRAND addicts and fans who just plain have too much money and too little self restraint. The very fact there isn’t a blogger/podcaster/Lifestyler out there who hasn’t “been taken by a friend” is kind of proof of this. Exclusive private clubs don’t want attention. Any. And for many decades, most fans (even ardent ones) either didn’t know the club existed or couldn’t possibly find/talk their way into an invite. The Internet and online fan community has totally changed that.

Disney is looking to grow the membership and in order to do so decided that an expansion that destroyed much of the history and some of the charm of the place was in order … and so it was done.

Those huge windows now shout to fans below (LOOK!!! UP HERE!!! IF YOU HAVE TOO MUCH $$$, YOU CAN BE PART OF THIS!!!) Indeed, when we were there, Chip and Dale hung out up there and were waving at Guests below. Very tacky chipmunks! So, forget that the windows are out of scale with NoS 1967-2014, what matters is that more people will want to feel special. How can you be a REAL Disney fan without dining at “Walt’s Club”? Even if it isn’t that anymore?

That said, I love the look inside (especially of the new jazz lounge, sans the portrait from the underrated Princess and Frog with a Hidden Darth Vader … boy, those Imagineers just think they are so special!) And the food was tremendous. We were worried because our friends (real friends who are members!) were not enamoured of the new cuisine and portion size under Sutton. But the food was likely the best meal I have ever had at either the Club or even Napa Rose. It was wonderful … and with the 20% member’s discount, it wasn’t over the top pricey. I would go back again — and will — but not regularly. And not, sadly, for its history. I’d go back for the food and the ability to have adult drinks (very, very good ones!) inside DL.

But I can not disagree with your comments about the history being ripped away and that is very unfortunate.

“the ambiance of simply being there” from https://www.disneytouristblog.com/save-court-angels-disneyland/

Thanks Tom! You mentioned you paid “a lot” to eat there. Just curious … about how much was it? If you’d rather not say, I understand.

Nearly $300 for the 2 of us after tip. I’d rather eat at Napa Rose for significantly less.

Club 33 existed for the reason to have a place for executives and the elite to have a Martini lunch in Disney Land. With other options near by, and them gutting the history. I don’t see it hanging on much longer with the membership fees and exclusive access. I guess the question to Tom’s friends would be “are they going to continue with the membership”? Because I can see Club33 being a high end reservation club for Disneyland open to the public.

I’m pretty sure there’s still a waitlist for new memberships, so I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon. With that said, there were like 2 tables of people there when we dined. I’ve never seen it that empty, but perhaps it was a fluke.

Really sad to see this. What about the gorgeous Club 33 china? Has that been replaced, too?

I was just there for lunch last month. It was my first trip thanks to the generosity of my cousin’s father-in-law. I totally geeked out. As a first timer, I thought it was an amazing experience. My cousin, his wife and their family enjoy the renovation, mostly because reservations tend to be a little easier to get now, and they like the new menu and decor, as well as the salon. I throughly enjoyed it, but I have never visited prior to the renovation.

Wow, the salon is definitely appealing! I love the ceiling and blue rug! Please do a post about it sometime!

Thanks for the view into the mysterious Club 33!

Thanks so much for giving us a glimpse inside. I’m going to search utube to see if I can find old pics to compare. I have no idea what it used to look like. Loved the tour!

Food pics look tasty, nice presentation, but I’m not a fan of serving $$$$ dishes with skimpy sides of perhaps 1 tiny nugget potato, 4 green beans, and what wouldn’t amount to half a carrot, etc.

I visited the former glory a few years ago and enjoyed it very much. It was wonderful to see the trophy room, ride up the elevator, take in the charm of the nostalgic hallways, and indulge in the chocolate buffet bar. We sat outside on the balcony as one of my children took some images of us living it up. I took several images from outside the balcony of the views and many designs leading back into New Orleans Square. I will remember it fondly and I probably could go back again if I asked, but I don’t feel the need. I think its a true shame in the gutting of it all. The facade on the outside to the casual visitor of Disneyland is atrocious. The removal of the Court of Angels is unforgivable. What will be next? Removable of Walt Disney’s Apartment so they can store Star Wars Christmas decorations?

I hope not.

Just wanted to comment about what you said about debating on whether to post something like this, that’s not going to really be ‘helpful’ to many people. I think when in doubt, post anyway. Something like this I know I’ll never get to do, but I still find it just as interesting to read about as reviews of places I might go. Same reason people love your trip reports, or read your posts about TDL or HKDL, it’s nice get a taste of the experience.

Thankfully the redesign took it off my Disney bucket list. With the historical appeal wiped away, it means very little to me now. I can pay a lot of money for good food at Napa Rose.

Although I never dined in Club 33, I am grateful we saw the lobby on Walk in Walt’s Footsteps tour. I’m so incredibly happy we went to Disneyland when we did, right in the middle of massive changes to the resort.

I remember you writing a blog on Club 33 before and just found it again, I was curious as I read this article if you have any old pics, to be able to compare side by side with your new ones above? It would be fun to see the contrasts. As I was reading this article I was remembering other blog sites and the debate on “what would Walt do?” And It would be really neat to know, as the creative guy he apparently was, if he would want so many of the the things he created to remain the same for memory/nostalgia sake, or would he encourage his employees to update the attractions/dining/parks etc. as time moved on?

There was plenty of change taking place at DL, even in Walt’s days. I have to think he’d approve of the improvements everywhere, and realize that updates are essential to keep guests coming.

I think it’s important to remember that “improvements” and “updates” are two very different things. Just because something changes does not mean it has improved.

Walt quotes are often thrown around regarding change to justify anything modern day Disney does, but this is also a company that heavily embraces (and milks) history when it suits them. Much like Main Street USA captures the charm and nostalgia of a bygone era and would not be anything special if it were styled as a modern day shopping mall (that’s what it effectively is), Club 33 captured something special by embracing Disneyland and Walt Disney history rather than being styled as a modern fine dining restaurant.

I won’t claim to know what Walt would think, but I know what I think: Club 33 has lost that “something special.”

Tom – Iger happened. The money grabbing, short term vision of Iger happened to 33. No matter where one can insert the comments “lost the magic” or “lost something special” it’s always Iger at the helm. A greasy haired, lying salesman is all he is. A better alternative, I don’t know, but Iger is definitely not the answer.

I had the privilege of dining at Club 33 the month before it closed for reno, in the Trophy Room to boot. So there will never be a way for me to duplicate or compare my prior experience. That isn’t to say that I wouldn’t welcome one chance (like you) to see it for myself in its Nouveau state.

And if you blogged about it you can write the meal off, right? 😉

You nailed it on the head. Of course, if I was afforded the opportunity to dine at Club 33 with the wife we would in a heart beat-but I was drawn to it because of the rich history. The “Disney difference” should never be discounted or trivialized, and it seems like it might’ve been during the refresh.

What Is Club 33 And How To Join + Our Visit Inside!

Many Disney fans may have heard of the famous Club 33. However, what exactly is Club 33? How do you join? Most importantly, how much does it cost? Find out the answers to your questions and read DVC Shop’s Bobby’s first hand experience of visiting the Club 33 in Disneyland.

What is Club 33?

Club 33 is an exclusive club where members are able to enter private dining and lounge areas in almost every Disney park around the world. According to Disney, the Club is named after the address of the original Disneyland Club 33 location, which was 33 Royal Street in New Orleans Square.

The locations in the parks are hidden in plain sight, and you may have seen the outside of them before while in the Disney parks.

Disneyland Resort

• Le Grand Salon Restaurant – New Orleans Square, Disneyland Park
• Le Salon Nouveau – A Jazz Lounge in New Orleans Square, Disneyland Park
• 1901 Lounge – Disney California Adventure

Walt Disney World

• Captain’s Quarters – Adventureland, Magic Kingdom
• Constellation Club – American Adventure Pavilion, Epcot
• Spotlight Lounge – Above The Hollywood Brown Derby Restaurant, Hollywood Studios
• Harambe House – Africa, Animal Kingdom

Club 33 Benefits

Club 33 members receive a variety of benefits while in the parks. To name a few, those who join this Disney Club will receive the following:

• Annual Park Passes
• 50 single-day admission tickets
• 5 private VIP tours per year
• Set FastPasses during their visit
• Access to all of the exclusive lounges and restaurants
• Exclusive access to Club 33 merchandise
• A tour of of the Disneyland Resort Dream Suite

Although this is not the case anymore, Club 33 lounges used to be the only place that guests could enjoy alcoholic beverages in Disney. Now it is more common for guests to purchase alcohol in the parks, but this used to be a major benefit for the members of Club 33.

How Do I Join?

Obviously everyone who spends time in Disney wishes to be a member of Club 33. With the long list of exclusive benefits and experiences, there’s no reason not to! Except buying your way into Club 33 will not be as simple as buying a ticket to the Disney parks.

Membership to Club 33, is not a quick process, and will require a measure of patience. There are only a small number of memberships offered per year. Some years there are no memberships offered, while in other years several memberships will be granted. Guests who wish to become members at Club 33 will need to email [email protected] for Walt Disney World, or for Disneyland, you must submit a written letter of inquiry at the address as follows: Club 33 Member Services, 1600 S. Disneyland Drive Anaheim, CA 92802, in order to be considered. As memberships become available, the management team will contact you.

In order to get into Club 33, guests will need to pay the initial membership fee and then a yearly annual fee to maintain their membership. The cost of Disneyland vs Disney World is a little different, with Walt Disney World being more expensive. This is due to the fact that there are more exclusive club locations in Walt Disney World.

For Disneyland Resort’s Club 33, members will pay $25,000 upfront, and then $10,000 every year after.

For Walt Disney World, the up front cost is higher. Members will pay $33,000 to join and the annual fee is $15,000.

“Just the thrill of ringing the buzzer had me so excited because I had passed the door so many times, wondering what it must be like to dine at Club 33.” – Bobby Asen

What Is It Like Inside? – Bobby’s Guest Experience At Club 33

Members of Club 33 are given the opportunity to allow friends to join them as guests to select dining locations. DVC Shop’s Bobby Asen had the chance to dine in Club 33’s Le Grand Salon Restaurant in Disneyland. Here’s his first hand experience.

“Early last year I had the chance to dine as a guest at the original Club 33 location in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square. Prior to my arrival, I received an email stating the rules of the restaurant. No videos would be allowed to be taken inside and there is a zero tolerance policy for taking photos of guests not in your party. Rumor has it photo policies at Club 33 were even stricter in years past.

Once I arrived at the famous Club 33 door, I got to ring the buzzer and give the attendant the last name of my party. Just the thrill of ringing the famous buzzer had me so excited because I had passed the door so many times, wondering what it must be like to dine at Club 33.

After being greeted by the attendant behind the door, I was offered a refreshment while waiting in the lower courtyard. Before going upstairs, we were reminded of the club rules and were offered to have our photo taken on the famous Club 33 staircase “Cour des Anges”.

When we walked into the upper level, we were given a short tour of the restaurant. The tour included showing us areas like the members-only jazz bar and the balcony where guests can view Fantasmic and fireworks on select nights. Also, by the host stand there was a little shop of select merchandise exclusive to this Club 33 location.

After being seated at our table, we viewed our menus, a prix fixe five-course meal. While dining, many of the wait staff shared their favorite facts about Club 33 and educated us about historic items inside the club. Of course, the food was exceptional and the best I had ever experienced inside any Disney Park around the world . The Cast Members made this the most enjoyable experience by sharing their knowledge and love for Disney with guests. You can tell the staff felt that they were a part of carrying on Walt’s legacy while providing the utmost hospitality.

Throughout the history of Club 33, many of the pieces of art inside were from Walt and Lillian’s private collection. After a renovation in 2014 almost everything at the club are now replicas of the originals. Much of the artwork you’ll see throughout the dining room is Disneyland concept art from famous Imagineers .

One of the most famous items you will find in the restaurant is the vulture. Walt originally wanted an animatronic talking bird that could speak to his guests. Unfortunately, this didn’t work as initially planned, but guests can still hear the bird speak occasionally. You can see similar technology in Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. Another well-recognized piece is the piano right when you enter the upstairs room. Lillian picked this piano out herself to be in Club 33. Sadly, it is no longer working, but many famous musicians got to play it while visiting Club 33.

Visiting Club 33 was the ultimate Disney fan experience that I could ever ask for. Having the opportunity to see an exclusive part of the famous Disneyland Park is a moment I will never forget!”

What if you were to bless a regular, working class family each year to carry on the legacy of magic in the parks? While my family is very blessed to enjoy Disney, we are well educated and composed, we will likely never afford such an endeavor. It would be nice to see Disney not just benefit the ultra rich.

That would be amazing! We haven’t heard of such campaigns with Club 33, though Disney has done charitable giveaways of other exclusive experiences like staying in the Castle Suite . We’re sure many people would love a chance to experience Club 33.

If it is so “exclusive”, why is Bobby Asen not wearing socks? I thought there would be a more restrictive dress code. By the way, what is the dress code? Thanks

According to our insider Bobby, casual wear (including shorts) are allowed at lunch. At dinner, men are asked to wear pants and a collared shirt and women are asked to wear dresses, or pants and a blouse. Jeans qualify as pants at Club 33! And no, socks are not required! 😉

Do a little research into modern male fashion instead of just dumping on a guy first. He looks great and very trendy.

Not wearing socks with pants that are too short is not trendy. He looks homeless.

Not sure how anyone can look homeless while having access to club 33. He could have worn a suit made of garbage bags and the location alone says he’s not homeless.

Everything looks..Great…lol….The absence of socks that’s what’s up…Don’t Hate……. Disney…is whomever he is…..Club 33…or Club 666…or Club 911 The American..Way…Don’t Hate…Love…❤💯

We love Bobby’s look too!

Would love to meet a member and love to apply to get into this club. We are Big Disney fans and are also part of D23, DVC, and magic key holders. If you know anyone who like meeting new Disney fans and would like to help us get in we would love to meet them. 🙂

I love everything Disney. How special it would be to be a part of this club. I think I just may try to join before I depart this life..

This is a joke, right?!!! Asults paying this much to be in the Mickey Mouse Club?! Must take a really self obsessed individual to purchase this.

lots of corporate money in the Club – written off as a business expense 😉

A talking raven that doesn’t work right, and a broken piano? At $25,000 a person, with all the talent Disney has at its fingertips everything should be perfect and magical. The Magic Castle in Hollywood has a (ghost) (player piano) that plays any melody on request! Surely Disney can do better! So, no, I’d never pay that just to be able to say I’m an elitist snob.

Here, here! My sentiments exactly. If your going to pay these prices, you should at least get a working piano!

Sounds extremely freemasonic..

My wife and I have been Walt Disney fans since we were kids in the 1950’s. We’ve watched Steamboat Willie change to Mickey Mouse and watched our story books turn into big screen movies. And to top it all off, the amusement park of all amusement parks opens in CA, complete with parades, fireworks, castles, pirates, animatrons of animals and even past presidents of the USA! What a thrilling adventure! Even more so when I got to march in Disney’s Christmas parade with my school band. And then experience it all over again through my children’s eyes when I took them to experience the best amusement park in the world. But then Walt passed on and his legacy was taken over by his relatives who changed it beyond belief. They let politics and interest groups make demands that went against Walt’s ideas for a small world for children and the child within us all. How sad that so many things were ruined because of it. And now I read about Club 33, where the elite can eat and sleep and play without having to worry about the lower class being anywhere around them. I can think of many other good uses for $33,000. Even if if we’re used for Disney world tickets, it could buy 303 day passes, even more if bought in large groups! $15,000 annual price to maintain membership for staying away from those not in their class provides for 138 tickets, even more when bought in large groups! Just think of all the Veterans and their families that could enjoy Disney World. Or how about orphanages whose kids could use a day out to the magical kingdom? There are many ways that amount of money would be better spent than dividing the classes. Or better said, people who can afford that kind of money have their ways of staying away from hourly wage people. Disney shouldn’t be a part of that. To take a line from one of Disney’s own songs that’s been around for over 50 years, It’s A Small World After All. Let’s try and bring Walt’s ideas back where we were all one human race, joining together at the amusement park, all races, all religions, enjoying the best playground on earth, together!

AMEN❣️ Afterall it is the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH❣️

Only for the rich and the ones making money off the rich at club 33 apparantly.

I need to join

Club 33 was Walt’s idea and creation.

We’re all about sharing our favorite ways to experience the luxurious side of Disney, whether that means splurging on a stay at a Deluxe resort or doing Disney on a budget when you’re used to bougie. (Think gorgeous hotel rooms, delicious charcuterie boards, and add-on experiences to make your vacation extra enchanting.) But there’s one place that’s a cut above the rest: Club 33.  

This private club started at Disneyland in the 1960s and has since grown to become one of the most highly coveted dining locations at the Disney parks — and most fans will never have the opportunity to experience it. Still, some of the most exclusive parts of Disney are the most fascinating. So, we’re diving deep into the history and membership of Club 33 and sharing everything you need to know about Disney’s Club 33.

Club 33 History 

The original Club 33 is a private, members-only club at Disneyland. It’s an exclusive place that’s almost as old as Disneyland itself, and the mystique of the club’s door in New Orleans Square has allured guests for decades.  

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bruce Boyer (@bcboyerart)

Club 33 was envisioned by Walt Disney himself. The executive lounges at the 1964 World’s Fair inspired Walt Disney to create Club 33, though it didn’t open until the year after Walt passed away in 1967. Of course, the first of these clubs opened at Disneyland, but it has expanded immensely in recent years. There are now Club 33s at Disney theme parks across the globe, including at Walt Disney World. There’s a second exclusive club at Disneyland Resort, the 1901 lounge above Carthay Circle Restaurant at Disney California Adventure — and Club 33 members also get admission to that lounge.  

Initially, when Walt conceived Club 33, he wanted it to be an area inside the park where he could entertain visiting dignitaries, celebrities, and corporate sponsors. The venue would be attached to the apartment being built for the Disney family above New Orleans Square.  

There are a variety of rumors concerning where Club 33 got its name. According to  Mickey Visit : There were 33 original investors in Disneyland, 33 votes to continue building the club after Walt died, and 33 lessees of Disneyland while the club was being built. Plus, if you rotate the number 33, it looks a little like “mm”, for Mickey Mouse. 

However, these aren’t actually where the club’s name came from. Per the  D23 archives , Club 33 was named after its address, 33 Royal Street in New Orleans Square. The fan-favorite restaurant Blue Bayou is located right next door; its address is 31 Royal Street. 

Club 33 Membership 

Part of what makes Club 33 so exclusive is the steep price tag.  

Club 33 is said to have a $25,000 initiation fee and an annual $10,000 membership fee, as of a 2013 article by  Eater . But according to  USA Today , the initial fee to join can range from $25,000-50,000, with annual fees costing $12,000-25,000.  

That is, if you can get a membership. There are only around 500 members at a time to maintain the club’s exclusivity, and membership is by invitation only. So, even if you had thousands of dollars to spare, you can’t simply buy your way into Club 33. There’s a waitlist that is said to last up to 15 years. When we say this club is exclusive, we mean it.  

Some say Club 33 is more  tailored to VIP clientele , like celebrities with Disney connections. Still, that hasn’t stopped the everyday Disneyland goer from doing everything they can to get in. Let’s just say, it’s about who you know.  

If you’re active on Instagram, you’ve likely come across several Disney influencers posting about their Club 33 visits. With only a few hundred active memberships at a time, we’re willing to bet that not everyone you see posting about visiting Club 33 is a member of the organization. But here’s the deal — you can get into the exclusive lounge above New Orleans Square if a club member invites you. So, if you want to get into Club 33, befriend a member (remember that you’ll still have to pay for the five-course dinner because that elite Disney magic isn’t free).

As the folks at  Disney Tourist Blog  put it, Club 33 isn’t a secret society at all. It’s simply a place where wealthy Disney fans, business executives, and celebrities can escape the theme park crowds if they’re willing to pay a hefty price tag.  

Benefits of a Club 33 Membership 

Club 33 membership comes with more than a few perks.  AllEars  reports that membership benefits include annual passes to the Disney theme parks, 50-single day park tickets, and five  Disney VIP tours  each year. Members also get to purchase special Club 33 merchandise, plus exclusive tours of private locations inside the theme parks, including the Disneyland Dream Suite, which is not open to the public.  

Back when FastPass was still around, Club 33 members got access to a select number of FastPasses during their park visits. We assume that this perk is still in place, just with Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane access instead.  

Food and Drinks at Club 33 

Speaking of the food, what’s on the menu? It changes seasonally, but some highlights in the past have included seasonal soups, mushroom croquettes, kingfish, pheasant, veal, and more. We’ve even heard of a $75 burger being served at the renowned restaurant. And don’t even get us started on the photo-worthy desserts and “33” adorned lattes. Have you ever heard the question, “What would you do for a Klondike bar?” Well, we’re more interested in a cup of Club 33 coffee after dinner.  

At one point, Club 33 was the only location that served alcohol inside the Disneyland theme park. This has changed in recent years, since Oga’s Cantina at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge serves cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. You can also get beer and wine at the Blue Bayou restaurant adjacent to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.  

In February 2022, Napa Rose chef Gloria Tae and Club 33 chef Clint Chin switched places. So, as of this year,  Tae is the very first female chef de cuisine at Disneyland’s Club 33 . She oversees the menus at Le Grand Salon and Le Salon Nouveau in Club 33 and the menu at the other private dining experience in New Orleans Square, 21 Royal (but that’s a deep dive for another day).  

If you haven’t had the opportunity to visit Club 33 yourself, the unofficial fansite for the Disneyland location of the club has a photo tour. You can take a look  here . Keep in mind that most guests who visit the lounge don’t get any photos aside from in the Court of Angels, where the club’s iconic staircase is located. Beyond that, pictures and videos aren’t permitted.

Other (More Accessible) Park Experiences 

Here’s the deal: as much as we love the lore of Club 33, we know it’s not accessible for everyone. Most people who visit the Disney theme parks will never have the opportunity to try caviar in Disneyland’s most exclusive lounge. So, what’s a fan to do? Well, we’ve got some tips.  

Over on TikTok, we’re sharing a new series for how to experience Disney on a budget if you want to feel bougie. Think affordable charcuterie boards and fairly-priced resorts. (We’re all about that life!)

For something a bit more upscale, check out our  luxury guide to Walt Disney World . It won’t get you into Club 33, but it’ll still have you swooning. Besides coming with a pretty price tag, this pixie dust isn’t exclusive.  

At Disneyland, if you’re looking for a great dining experience, try Napa Rose or Carthay Circle. Both restaurants are known for serving up delicious dishes and will give you that fine-dining feel. We may not all be Club 33 frequenters, but we can still feel like royalty, even for just a little while at the happiest place on Earth.

• Experience The Incredible Club 33 Tour At The Disney World

There is no single excellent experience during your Disney World tour other than visiting Club 33. After Disney announced that a new Club 33 would be coming to Walt Disney World, we will now have four of them.

This rumor of club 33 coming to the Walt Disney World has existed for a long. We now confirm that Club 33 is going to be at the Walt Disney World; we will take you to what it means.

After the news floated around about this new 33 club, there have been many talks on when it is sustainable in Florida. After thinking about it deeply, you will agree that it is viable. However, you need to understand that Walt Disney World will not provide any low prices than Disneyland.

The location will enable them to raise money if the demand for them proves high than the low them. Club 33 will not be the lower cabana, which Disney can remove when the sales drop, but it is a long-term commitment once the Walt Disney World’s operations start. We can easily see Disney beginning to sell by soliciting the Golden Oak members and the Disney vacation club members that have the highest point holding.

It can be achieved by simply giving an eery introductory offer that has prices listed to attract a wide range of new customers to make the club operational and appear to be successful. For those looking for an incredible experience, they will not miss it here. Since it is located inside Cinderella Castle, Magic Kingdom, it will be great.

The locations are themed to Walt and Lilian’s travels, which are excellent in park spots chosen for the Club 33s, instead of the thematically appropriate ones. The restaurants and the lounges will be located in the most relaxed areas in every park at the Walt Disney World.

The majority of the people, however, have been very critical of the redesign of club 33. We can all agree that a massive chunk of the club’s history has been removed and replaced with high-end completions. The main aim of removing the club’s history was to make the club lavish and bring out the modern guests’ experience. The new club 33 does not have now history.

There are very few historical items that are scattered about the homages to the original 33. You will however, still enjoy stepping inside the club, although with the removal of the Disney experience. However, you will find it difficult to distinguish the Disney 33 club from the private membership clubs in Orange County or Los Angeles.

The excitement of the exclusive experiences is instinctual. But the Covid pandemic may have a negative impact on the tour at the club as the social distancing procedures need to be adhered to. A lot of Disney fans may lose interest in the new-look Club 33 when the door is meant to be wide open. Enjoy your journey to the new Club 33 in Magic Kingdom.

King Charles makes surprise decision to open most private home to public for first time

Balmoral castle has been described by prince william as holding both the "happiest" and "saddest" memories.

King Charles is set to make royal history this summer, as he prepares to open Balmoral Castle to the public for the first time since the castle was completed in 1855. 

Guided tours will be available from July 1 to August 4, before the King and Queen arrive for their summer break in Scotland, with each group restricted to 10 people.

Tickets for the "castle interior tour", priced £100 or £150 with afternoon tea included, are limited to 40 tickets per day and are already selling fast.

Balmoral has long been a deeply private retreat for the royal family, as was the one place on earth the late Queen Elizabeth II was considered to be her "happiest". 

Located over 50,000 remote acres in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the idyllic bolthole has been frequented by monarchs for centuries. Princess Eugenie said of Her Late Majesty's love of Scotland: "I think Granny is the most happy there. I think she really, really loves the Highlands."

Queen Victoria shared the Queen's love of Balmoral, describing it as "my dear paradise in the Highlands". She wrote in her diary: " All seemed to breathe freedom and peace and to make one forget the world and its sad turmoils."

While existing tours of the grounds, gardens and ballroom have been running for a number of years, news that King Charles has chosen to open the previously-unseen wings of the castle may come as a surprise to royal fans. 

The late Queen's former press secretary Dickie Arbiter previously spoke to HELLO!  about the monarch's lifelong love affair with the Scottish highlands.

"She has been going there regularly from the middle to the end of July right through to the beginning of October since she came to the throne," Dickie said. "It's just home from home, a place where she can just get away from it all, putting her feet up and give her the chance to just enjoy two months of holiday."

As well as holding a library of happy memories, some of the royal's darkest times have been witnessed within the walls of the 19th century castle. When news broke of Princess Diana's death , Prince William and Prince Harry were on holiday at Balmoral with their father and grandparents.

"I was in Balmoral when I was told that my mother had died. Still in shock, I found sanctuary in the service at Crathie Kirk that very morning," Prince William said in the BBC documentary, Diana . "And in the dark days of grief that followed, I found comfort and solace in the Scottish outdoors . As a result, the connection I feel to Scotland will forever run deep."

Balmoral Castle was also where the Queen took her last breath, choosing to be at the place she loved most in the world for her final days of life, surrounded by her closest family members.

Danielle Stacey, HELLO! 's Online Royal Correspondent , revealed why King Charles may have made the unexpected decision to open up the royal family's most private residence to the public.

"I understand that the King has very much wanted to make many of the royal residences more accessible to the public, especially ones that are not in use all year round.

"It's one of His Majesty's many moves to make the monarchy more transparent, especially in the time of a cost of living crisis. It's been widely reported that he wants to transform the likes of Sandringham, Balmoral, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace from 'private spaces to public places'.

"Typically, the royal family spend their summer break in August at Balmoral so visitors will get a glimpse of their Scottish quarters before they arrive," says Danielle.

Here's who could be responsible for paying for the Baltimore bridge disaster

• The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed after a container ship collided with it.
• Several entities could be on the hook to foot the bill in the aftermath of the disaster.
• The maritime insurance industry will likely be saddled with the highest costs. 

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed on Tuesday after a large container ship ran into it, leading to six presumed deaths and millions of dollars in possible damage.

It's still too early to estimate the total economic impact of the disaster, but between the cost of rebuilding the decades-old bridge, compensating the victims' families , and paying out damages for disruptions to the supply chain, the eventual cost of the disaster is expected to be significant.

Who will pay to rebuild the bridge?

President Joe Biden said on Tuesday the federal government should be responsible for paying to reconstruct the damaged Francis Scott Key Bridge.

"It is my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge, and I expect Congress to support my effort," Biden said.

The bridge was built in the 1970s for about $60 million, but the cost of rebuilding it could be 10 times its original price tag, an engineering expert told Sky News. 

Baltimore is among the busiest ports in the nation , with more than a million shipping containers passing through each year. The collapse — which closed the port to all maritime and most road traffic until further notice — is already beginning to wreak havoc on the supply chain.

The cost of building the bridge back fast enough to offset diversions as much as possible could saddle the government with a more than $600 million bill, David MacKenzie, the chair of the engineering and architecture consultancy COWIfonden, told Sky News.

Who will pay for damages to the ship and its cargo?

The container ship, the Dali , is owned by a Singapore-based firm. The ship's charterer, Maersk, confirmed to Business Insider that vessel company Synergy Group operates the ship. 

However, the companies with cargo aboard the Dali could ultimately be responsible for some of the ship's damages and cargo costs, according to Ryan Petersen , the CEO of the supply-chain-logistics company Flexport, which had two containers on the ship.

Related stories

The Dali was carrying 330 containers that must now be rerouted, Petersen said in an X thread.

An ancient maritime law known as " general average " dictates that companies with even a single container aboard a ship split certain damages pro rata based on the number of containers they had on board, ensuring all the stakeholders benefiting from the voyage are splitting the risk, Petersen said.

General average situations can occur when a ship is stranded or when cargo is damaged or thrown overboard to save the vessel, according to Flexport . The concept helps ensure that all parties who have a vested interest in the vessel share the cost and concern of protecting it.

It's too soon to know whether damages incurred to free the Dali in the coming days will qualify as a case of general average.

Who will pay for everything else?

The majority of the financial fallout is likely to lay primarily with the insurance industry, according to media reports.

Industry experts told the Financial Times that insurers could pay out losses for bridge damage, port disruption, and any loss of life.

The collapse could drive "one of the largest claims ever to hit the marine (re)insurance market," John Miklus, the president of the American Institute of Marine Underwriters, told Insurance Business.

He told the outlet that the loss of revenue from tolls while the bridge is being rebuilt will be expensive, as will any liability claims from deaths or injuries.

The Dali is covered by the Britannia Steam Ship Insurance Association Ltd., known as Britannia P&I Club, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

In a statement to Business Insider, Britannia said it was "working closely with the ship manager and relevant authorities to establish the facts and to help ensure that this situation is dealt with quickly and professionally."

Britannia is one of 12 mutual insurers included in the International Group of P&I Clubs, which maintains more than $3 billion of reinsurance cover, sources familiar with the matter told Insurance Business.

Britannia itself is liable for the first $10 million in damages, both FT and Insurance Business reported. Whatever remains is dealt with by the wider mutual insurance group and Lloyd's of London, a reinsurance market in the UK, the FT reported.

Update: March 28, 2024 — This story has been updated to include additional information about general average and clarify that it is too soon to know whether general average will apply in the case of the Dali.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
• by Kings of Russia
• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
