Want a Peek at Something in Disneyland that Most of the General Public Doesn't Know About?
Sure, we can say that we have all been to Disneyland. Since 1955, this Southern California theme park has been a place for many memories and adventures for millions of guests. But, there is a place within the park that few have been able to getClub 33 is a private club located in the heart of the New Orleans Square section of Disneyland. Officially maintained as a "secret" feature of the theme park, the entrance of the club is located next to the Blue Bayou Restaurant at "33 Royal Street" with the entrance recognizable by an ornate mirror backed plate with the number 33 engraved on it. Club 33 is the only location within Disneyland to offer alcoholic beverages and is also the home to one of the most fascinating collections of Disney art work and personal Disney Family items.
There are many stories that have been claimed for the name "Club 33". One says that Club 33 was named for Disneyland's original 33 sponsors at the time that the club was built. Another is that Walt chose the name simply because he liked the way that "33" looked. And the most popular explanation, is that "33" when turned on its side bears similarity to two letter "M"s, as would stand for "Mickey Mouse". In actuality, it was simply the address assigned to the door by chance (33 Royal Street).
When Walt Disney was working with various corporate promoters for his attractions at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, he noted to himself of the various "VIP Lounges" made as a novelty for the corporate elite. This gave him the inspiration that culminated in Club 33, originally designed for the use of Disneyland's Corporate sponsors and other industry VIPs such as celebrities and royalty. When the design of New Orlean's Square was planned, this special area for Corporate sponsors and VIPs was included in it. After Walt's death, Club 33 was opened up to individual members also.
