Last week I had the privilege of having lunch at the famously exclusive Club 33 in Disneyland’s New Orlean’s Square.  If you’ve never heard of it, that’s because it’s a secret club.  There is a $10,000 annual fee to belong to it in addition to a $25,000 initiation fee.  The park opened up 100 new membership opportunities last year and there was an 800 person waiting list! That said, average folks like you and me can access the privilege by being invited by a member.  Once inside you are treated like Disney royalty with a 4 Star dining experience that includes an entire buffet of desserts, which obviously was my favorite highlight.

{Just inside the entrance there is a working French Lift which you have the option of riding in or taking the stairs.  Of course I opted for the stairs}
