Did You Know?

In Disneyland there is a private members only club called Club 33. It is located in New Orleans Square on the second floor near the Bayou Restaurant.

Walt Disney wanted to provide a private place to entertain his guests. Unfortunately he died before it was completed. When it was completed it was instead opened up as a private club with limited membership.

There are about 400 members and the annual membership is about $1,000. There is a long waiting list to join that usually takes more than 5 years for an opening to become available. Recently the cost of joining was between $7,500 to 20,000 depending on the type of membership.

Members who have reservations for Club 33 are given free passes to enjoy Disneyland for the day of their reservation. They also have a special parking area and of course are treated as VIPs.

Club 33 is decorated in early 20th Century style and some members have been amused by the bordello red velvet decor. There are special Club 33 emblazoned items all over the club that many members take as souvenirs such as the napkins and other items that can be purchased such as club rings.

Club 33 is also the only place in the Disneyland park where alcohol is served.

To help maintain its low profile, Disney designers decided to paint the door a dull green dubbed "Noseeum Green" by the Disneyland design team. In fact, much of Disneyland has been coated with this particular shade of green, as the Disney designers have decided it is the least obtrusive color in the entire spectrum. Doors, containers, and even entire show buildings have been painted with this dull, naturalistic color. By no coincidence, the military uses a similar shade of green for many of its ventures.
