Step 1: Attach an application letter to Club 33 Member Services.
You have to mail a letter to Club 33 Member Services to submit your application.Mention how often you visit Disneyland, when you will be able to use the membership, and how much you are looking forward to the amazing meals in the restaurant.Club 33 membership only covers one official pass holder who can make reservations, and they can invite up to 3 additional guests.A professional tone is maintained throughout the letter.They are considering you for acceptance to a very exclusive group, and you want to prove that you will fit in.If you want to join the Club, focus on your reasons, like a love for Disney or fine dining.You may have some at the Club, so try to avoid mentioning it as a main reason for joining.
Step 2: Wait for a call from a representative to invite you to join.
As memberships become available, Member Services will contact you.The Club 33 wait list is rumored to be very long.It can take 10 years before a spot opens up, according to some sources.If it takes a long time to hear from the Club, don't get discouraged.There are only 500 spots available for members, and over 800 people on the waiting list.You should try to limit calls to once per year.The representative won't be able to give you an exact position on the wait list, but they can give an estimated wait time.
Step 3: The initiation fee is $25,000 and you have to make a payment.
You will have to pay an initiation fee if a spot becomes open and you want to join.The payment process will be explained to you by your representative.You will only have to pay this fee once you are notified of your acceptance in Club 33.
Step 4: Membership dues cost $12,000 a year.
To maintain your membership in the Club, you have to pay $12,000 a year.The same way you paid the initiation fee, you can make this payment.When renewing your membership, a representative will contact you to arrange your payment.It is required that you make the entire payment at one time to confirm your membership for the year, so be sure to save up the money for your renewal in time.
Step 5: Club 33 and Lounge 1901 have rules regarding memberships.
The Club has strict rules regarding clothing and dining room behavior.It is recommended that guests wear evening wear for their dinner, including suits for men and gowns for women.The staff and other guests should be respected.If you make the reservation in advance for the guests who will be dining at the Club, you can share passes.You may be required to attend the dinner with your guests if you are the official pass holder.Dinners at Club 33 can cost a lot.Before alcohol is added to the bill, expect to pay around $150 per person.
Step 6: Check to see if they have a corporate membership.
Club 33 is included in large corporations' recreational budget for employees.The company's level of membership with Club 33 can affect access to the pass.The pass can be used by up to 9 people.The pass can only be used by executives or high-ranking employees.
Step 7: Email Human Resources to ask how to use the company pass.
Send an email to Human Resources to let them know you are interested in using the membership if you have an upcoming company dinner.They will usually give you the information you need to make a reservation.Make it clear that you plan to use the pass for company business, and make sure your email is professional.You might not be allowed to use the membership if you don't.
Step 8: Use the company name to make a reservation.
You can make your reservation under the company name if you have a membership.You will need to use the name of the Charter Member who holds the company membership.When making a reservation, be sure to account for everyone in your party.It can be difficult to change the reservation after it has already been made.You should not make a reservation if you don't have permission from your company to use the membership.Member Services will check with the company to make sure you are approved to use the membership.
Step 9: Ask your friend if they want to use their membership for dinner.
If you have a birthday or anniversary coming up, and you know a Club 33 member, you can ask them to use their pass for a reservation.If they aren't willing to share their membership at that time, always be polite and try to understand.Try to ask in person at least 2 months before the event so that they have enough time to make the reservation.The pass holder may have to attend the meal with you.
Step 10: Reservations can be made for Le Grand Salon by the member.
Only friends of members are allowed to dine in Le Grand Salon.The membership holder must approve the reservation, so it is best for them to call and make the appointment for you.They need to know that someone else will be using the membership that evening when they make the reservation.They will need your name and contact information to confirm the reservation.
Step 11: Thank you for using their membership.
You can thank the membership holder for allowing you to use their pass when you dine at Club 33.You can send a gift basket, a Disney souvenir, or a thank you letter.Remember that the member did something great for you, so be nice to them.
Step 12: You can meet characters at the Plaza Inn.
The Plaza Inn is a restaurant in Disneyland.They come to each table to take pictures and interact with diners.The restaurant can fill up quickly, so make your reservations in advance.If you want to make a Disney Dining reservation, be prepared with the ideal date and time, as well as the number of people in your party.
Step 13: There are fireworks, a show, and parades.
Disneyland has a variety of entertainment throughout the day.You can plan your trip around the daytime hours by checking the park schedule.There is a spot in Tomorrowland where you can view most parades without the crowds.You can catch the fireworks from behind Sleeping Beauty's castle, which is less crowded than Main Street.You can see the show and characters up close if you get a seat closest to the water.If you don't like parades or fireworks, these are good times to ride roller coasters and other attractions because the lines tend to be shorter.
Step 14: You should know where to find characters in the park.
One of the best things to do in Disneyland is collect autographs from the characters.You can visit Toontown, the Princess Fairy Faire, and walk along Main Street to find characters.To make a unique souvenir of your time in the park, snap pictures and ask them to sign your autograph book.You should bring a large pen so that the characters can hold it.There are lines for popular characters.If you plan which characters are most important to you, you can get an autograph for them.
Step 15: You should buy a souvenir to remember your trip.
Souvenirs can be a great way to remember your time in Disneyland.Visit the shops along Main Street and the stores in your favorite section of Disneyland to find a gift that is perfect for you.If you want to wear mouse ears all day, buy them in the morning.Before you leave the park to make a purchase, shop around during the day and visit the store.You won't have to carry a big bag all day.If you are buying a fragile item, ask the store associate if they can ship it to you.If the souvenir breaks, most stores in Disneyland will replace it for free.
