« Twirl-A-Squirrel | Main | One Step Closer To 2009 » March 17, 2007Behind The Scenes At Club 33Napa Valley Register reporter Jennifer Huffman got a cool, behind-the-scenes tour of Disneyland's Club 33: Club 33 was created by Walt Disney in 1967 as a private retreat for guest dignitaries and other VIPs, said Bracco. Named after its "address" in New Orleans Square, only 480 corporate and individual members belong, paying between $9,500 to $25,000 to join, plus $3,175 to $5,925 in annual dues. A simple letter to Disneyland requesting a Club 33 application is all it takes to apply, said Bracco. But be prepared to wait seven to 10 years for your chance to join. More than 1,600 people await their turn. And while members get into the park for free, there's no free lunch -- they still have to pay for their meal. It's a great article, and it makes me a little wistful that Elaine and I didn't get to see more of Club 33 when we were at Disneyland. We did see some of it (the "Walk In Walt's Footsteps" tour takes you in the lobby - check out the photo of us ... in the elevator!), but we didn't get to see the private upstairs. Pity.
