Disney has a private club? Disney's Club 33

Did you know every Disney Park has a private club located inside? Club 33 is what every Disney fan longs to be a part of.

What is Club 33?

Club 33 is the private club Walt Disney created for guests like celebrities and corporate sponsors to go relax and unwind. Eventually, individual memberships became available for guests to purchase and join. The first Club 33 opened in Disneyland California in 1967. The name comes from its original address of 33 Royal Street in New Orleans Square. Over the years, Club 33 has grown and can now be found in all Disney parks. At one point, Club 33 was the only location in Disneyland to offer alcohol. It is kept quite secretive and exclusive to members only of Club 33 or invited guests. They do not allow videos to be taken within, only photographs.

How do I become a part of Club 33?

If you go on the Disney World website to gain more information about Club 33, there isn’t much. But there is a specific email address for Walt Disney World Club 33 to express your interest - Club33@WaltDisneyWorld.com. Or for Disneyland, you must mail a letter of interest to Club 33 Member Services, 1600 S. Disneyland Drive Anaheim, CA 92802. Once your initial request goes through you may be put on a waiting list, this could be a couple of years.
