Inside Disney’s secret Club 33 that most tourists will never get to see

If you thought you were a Disney-super fan, then think again. Because there once was a couple who spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get back into an exclusive Disney club after being kicked out.

Disneyland alums Scott and Diana Anderson spent somewhere in the vicinity of $400,000 (£300,000) in 2017 on a lawsuit to try to clay back their membership to Disney's Club 33.

If you don't know what Club 33 is, buckle up because Diana told The Hollywood Reporter: " It is a cult, and Walt’s the messiah."

This club is for people who can afford to spend $31,000 (23,600) a year on its membership that hand picks who it invites into its folds.

But even if you're selected, that doesn't mean your spot is guaranteed, as the Anderson couple would soon find out.

That's because just five-ish years after membership, and fourteen years of waiting to be invited, their access was revoked over allegations of public drunkenness.

They denied this as the case, saying they may have had some wine and beer but claimed that Scott was suffering from a vestibular migraine at the time, which was mistaken for being drunk.

Public drunkenness gets you expelled from membership of Club 33; however, they soon launched a lawsuit against Disney seeking money for unused membership time and a hefty fee for compensation over the years they'd spent on the club's blacklist.

Nearly a decade ago, and soon after their lawsuit was filed, the couple lost their legal claim as a judge ruled that Disney had the right to ban them from their VIP clubs.

Scott said the cost had set his retirement back five years, while Diana claimed she'd 'sell a kidney' to appeal the decision.

As for what it's like inside this very exclusive and sort of secret club, the number of pictures that can be taken inside Club 33 is limited and guests filming is not allowed.

While photos of what it looks like inside are limited, there are some images which show that Club 33 goes for antique furniture and a more classic look than you might expect from Disney.

According to Snopes, Walt Disney got the idea for the club after visiting the 1964 World Fair where he was impressed by the executive lounges set up there.

However, he would not live to see Club 33 completed as he died several months before it opened, but his idea for an 'elegant' club with an 'exclusive setting' ended up attracting plenty of interest.

The club isn't so secret these days, particularly not when the internet can bring you so much information, but that doesn't mean getting in and having a look for yourself would be easy.

There are a limited number of club members and getting to join their number would cost money - and still not guarantee a place.

It could be a long wait to get accepted, and that's if you manage to pass a background check.

Once you're in, you'd better follow the rules, otherwise you might find the doors of Club 33 closed to you.
