Is Club 33 invite only?

Club 33 is one of the most exclusive experiences available through Disney. The club itself is invite-only, and it costs a pretty penny in membership fees. The reason it's so exclusive is because of Walt Disney's original vision as a place to entertain VIP guests.

The club was envisioned by Walt Disney as a private VIP lounge — but not for park guests. It was built for the executives who had sponsorships inside the park. Although Disney planned the club, it opened after his death, in 1967. Individual memberships were first offered in 1970.

For gentlemen, collared shirts and slacks are appropriate, and for ladies an informal dress or pants with a blouse are appropriate. (Update: The club is no longer accepting shorts of any type or style for dinner.) Appropriate dress for children and young adults should be in keeping with standards set for adults.

The Club 33 experience even extends to the parks, where members are granted access to FastPasses, behind-the-scenes tours, and VIP guides, who provide a unique perspective on the Disney universe.

You don't have to be rich to get in, but it doesn't hurt. Boasting an alleged initiation fee of $25,000 to $50,000, with annual dues as high as $30,000—and a 10-year waiting list to join—Club 33 is a five-star restaurant and lounge whose members are corporations, high-rollers, and celebrities.

The Dream Suite is the one and only place guests can spend the night inside the park, but it's certainly not easy to score residence there. There is no price tag; the suite is for invited guests only, which means you need to be a celebrity, a dignitary, a president, or very, very lucky.
