If you are a Disney fan, like myself, you are likely aware of the exclusive Club 33. It is a members-only club inside of Disneyland. It is housed in the upstairs rooms of the buildings in New Orleans square and overlooks the Rivers of America. And it was just completely refurbished this July. It is comprised of 2 sections, a dining room and lounge. Members can make reservations for themselves and their guests in the dining room, but only card carrying members are allowed in the lounge, as my mom and I found out.
My wonderful friend from law school got us a reservation for 11:40 on Saturday 10/18/14 and an Alpha Kappa Psi brother of mine from college signed us into the park. I MUST thank these 2 friends who made the Club 33 experience possible. You have no idea how much it meant to us!!
My mom and I arrived at the door and rang the doorbell about 15 minutes before our reservation.
We were ushered into the Court of Roses where we were offered water and a towel to wash our hands. We looked around the courtyard while waiting for our hostess. There were fountains and lights, all so whimsical.
We were then lead up the grand staircase to the lobby of the club.
A tile Mosaic marked the entrance.
The lobby was gorgeous complete with a glowing chandelier.
We were seated at our table near the bar.
We perused the drink menu and the lunch menu. I ordered a humming bird; my mom got coffee.
We ordered different appetizers and salads to try each others. And we both ordered the filet. Of course we had dessert!!
After our fantastic lunch we went out on the balcony to sit for a bit and take some more photos. Then we wandered into the lounge (that we did not know was for members only!!). We topped the trip off with a couple of purchases, a trip to the luxurious bathroom, and a last parting glance behind us as we exited.
It was a truly magical experience, and another item to cross off the bucket list!!
