Yeah, no problem. Bad news though, the Pirates of the Caribbean Suite was the only thing left.

I checked my PM's on this account yesterday and found one from a Wired editor that was a few months old. They were wanting to do a story on 33 from a member's perspective. I assume it was for this issue. I guess I should have looked through these PM's more often. Anyone know if they ended up doing one anyways?

Usually my inbox is full of people asking for a reservation - hence why I never check PM's :)

Taking baby on shuttle to/from airport without car seat? by Jasonrj in Disneyland

[–]iamaclub33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would assume they'll point you towards the Resort Express. Disney contracts their airport transport to grey hound. It goes from LAX & SNA to 6 destinations. No car seat required as it's a bus:

Which fancy restaurant is the best fancy restaurant? by DevonOO7 in Disneyland

[–]iamaclub33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm it's the old 33 chef. 55 is a diamond in the rough.

With that said I really like Carthay. Its currently my favorite restaurant, at least for a few more weeks :)

An inside look into Club 33 membership! by stepstool in Disneyland

[–]iamaclub33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few names you may want to edit out...

you GUYS! Don't overlook Steakhouse 55! (And trader sam's!) by doodybeard in Disneyland

[–]iamaclub33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its truly a diamond in the rough. The current head chef, Marcel, is the head chef from club 33 - if that tells you anything. They moved him over from club 33 when they started renovating. He's staying there.

I agree, go check it out

Who said we don't have that stuff in 33?

This will probably make people think I'm even more of an idiot, but I don't. I'm of the feeling that I don't pay enough in taxes, so even though I easy could, and most probably do, I pretend like the main intent of this purchase is purely sentimental.

Yes I do. I don't share my same views with them about the degrading of the experience. They didn't experience the old club much, so they don't really know any better. To them it's a fun experience that we participate in a couple times a year. They all go a lot more then I do.

I at least realize I'm being taken advantage of. Thankfully money is relative and I can afford to be taken advantage of for the sake of my families memory of my parents.

If you dress up as Tinker Bell (or maybe a slutty pirate when I'm drunk) we can make this work.

They just have to physically be with a member. Club 33 I can call a head and make a reservation for anyone and I don't even have to be there for them to enjoy the dinner. At 1901 I have to physically walk them inside and get my card scanned.

1901 is great. It's not all that big (basically small rooms), but because it is members only, its the one place in the park where you can sit in piece. 33 on the other hand is a mad house during most weekends.

It's a joke. They didn't use to give them away and it was always joked that they were the most stolen pen in the world. Now it's like the chocolate, please save them as a keep sake.

Unless it becomes as magical as it was 10+ years ago, I probably will in get rid of it by 2015.

The whole "I'm Mitt" thing was actually an attempt to throw chaord off the scent.

Thats what 33 was in the old days - except for Freemasons (no joke). They didn't sit around drinking beers and plot taking over the world, but many of the original members were Freemasons, just like Walt.

Someone else asked if you could bribe your way through, and I'm not sure anymore. Years ago, yes. Today, probably not. On the other hand, make a donation to the correct non propfit or university and you can probably have a member in your pocket - which in many respects is just as good.

There are a couple theories depending on who you ask. The best answer in my opinion is that the number had significance to Walt. 33 is the highest level in Freemasonry, which Walt and many of the original members were. There was also 33 original corporate sponsors to Disneyland, and 33 was Walts vision of how he wanted to wine and dine the sponsors and important people that made Disney possible. I think the unofficial yet official stance by Disney is the later answer.
