Ooh la la!
Club 33 is a pretty special place.
In this post, you can find what I know about it and what I’ve been lucky enough to be part of.
Come see!
Basic Scoop
Club 33 is an exclusive club located in the heart of New Orleans Square inside Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It’s only open to members and membership is no joke. It takes forever to join and it’s out of most guests’ budgets.
Including mine.
The club used to have a lot more mystery to it, and nothing was published anywhere regarding how to become a member, how to get on the list, etc etc. But, now Disney shares about it publicly, so it’s time we all take a look!
Here’s what you can find in the Disneyland app:
Salon Nouveau Photos
Take a look at my first visit, in the photos below. It was everything I had hoped it would be and more.
These photos show Salon Nouveau, available to only some Club 33 members. This is the “casual” part of the club.
Members and guests pay for everything, every visit.
The famous door.
This is the doorbell you ring to get inside.
Court of Angels. This used to be open to all guests.
Lots of people were upset when it was closed off.
Courtyard fountain.
All the details.
This was the original lift that took you upstairs. (The original door is to the right of Blue Bayou.)
A peek below before we go in!
Many guests take a photo with their shoes here before entering.
From the chandelier filled lobby, you walk through this wine collection to get to the Salon.
This seating area includes (no longer functioning) secret microphones in the light fixtures.
The main dining area.
Jazz musicians play and sing on select nights. The piano auto plays too.
I stole this.
The menu changes often. They host lots of seasonal celebrations for the usual holidays, the Oscars, and more.
Divine!
The drink menus are elaborate.
This is a No. 4 if memory serves.
Some finer selections.
Curtained booths are available.
Oh what a night! I have been to the club many, many times, but this first visit will always be special.
Main Dining Room Photos
Here are photos from the main dining room.
1901
California Adventure houses Club 33’s more casual version, called 1901. It’s located in the Carthay Circle Restaurant and is also only open to Club 33 members.
It’s more laid back than the Disneyland location, but still totally luxurious with fantastic service.
Check out lots of photos and more information about this location here.
Special Events
In 2017, the club celebrated its 50th anniversary. During the celebration, members (plus one) were invited to take several tours around the Disneyland Resort.
- One event included touring the Disneyland Dream Suite during a presentation for 21 Royal. Most guests are only allowed to take one photo when they tour. We took many! Check out these rare photos in this post.
- Another event included us touring the Club 33 Kitchen. My absolute favorite! I love to see how things come together. We weren’t allowed to take photos “back stage” (in the actual kitchen), but I was able to grab the next several pictures….
Court of Angels
This beloved courtyard closed in 2013 to make room for the club’s expansion. Many guests took photos here like this one of my kids years ago:

Disney World Clubs
I’ve visited all 4 lounges at Walt Disney World Resort, too. They strictly forbid photos of any kind. In fact, they are run very differently compared to Disneyland all together.
Here are the locations and designs in each park:
- Magic Kingdom – Located in Adventureland, just over the bridge, it’s to the right. This two story lounge’s theming is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and includes a bar that feels like you’re in an ancient submarine. The upstairs ladies’ room salon is the most adorable.
- Epcot – Located in World Showcase, this one is in the middle of the American Adventure building. You’ll find it after riding an elevator up one floor. This lounge is the largest and pays homage to Walt Disney’s love of cruising. One dining room includes rotating windows that open out onto exotic locations as you “sail” and dine.
- Hollywood Studios – Located above the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant. Take the elevator located near the restrooms up to this modern and hip 1960s themed lounge. It’s filled with Hollywood Disney-related memorabilia.
- Animal Kingdom – The only free standing club and the only one built for its purpose (and not a redesign like the others), Animal Kingdom’s lounge is safari chic. I don’t decorate with animal prints, but this place makes me want to because it’s so perfectly appointed. Find it in Asia. The outside of the club reads “Harambe House”. You’ve likely walked right past it without knowing what it was. If the fried cauliflower is on the menu, order two!
Notes
- The photos I shared above, along with those in the posts I linked, were taken only after asking permission. (From both the club member and a Club 33 Cast Member at each event.) I don’t like breaking the rules, and even more important, I wouldn’t put my friend’s membership at risk. So, don’t panic when you see some places rarely photographed.
- Unlike WDW’s Club 33 lounges, photos are allowed here in Anaheim (except for in the bathrooms). Video is strictly forbidden in all parts of the club.

Absolute bucket list. Your pics get me all emotional and teary eyed! ?
I have a nurse friend, I used to work with, her family is from Orange County, her father was a cardiologist in the area, and was Walt Disney’s doctor. Walt gifted her father a Club 33 membership, all those years ago. They still keep it to this day. She’s offered my family and I a reservation 4 years ago, I just couldn’t afford to go. I still kick myself for not doing it!!!
