Disney’s Ultra Private Destination- Club 33
Disneyland’s secret dining club is available to a select few lucky enough to secure a membership
Disney is as close to magic as it gets in real life. Their theme parks, films, products and streaming service are significant sources of joy and entertainment to people of all ages bringing them a sense of inner happiness that is hard to find anywhere else. It’s little surprise that many people embrace the opportunity to enjoy all of their offerings but one that few fans will ever see is their ultra-private dining club, Club 33.
First opening in 1967 at Disneyland, Club 33 was the brainchild of Disney founder Walt Disney. It was modeled after executive lounges that caught his eye during the 1964 World’s Fair and replaced The Disney Room of the Red Wagon Inn at Central Plaza. He imagined it be a place where he would entertain friends, family and business associates — a testament in many ways to the magical kingdom he created. Sadly, he passed away months before construction was finished on the project.
