Club 33 Comes To Walt Disney World

Rumor has it that the first rounds of invitations have been sent out inviting a select few to join a Walt Disney World version of Disneyland's famed Club 33. The exclusive, members only retreat within Disneyland Park will be oping clubs in all for of the Florida Theme Parks. Homeowners at Golden Oaks were amongst the first to receive invitations to join the club with pricing put at around $25,000 joining fee, and dues of $15,000 per year.

Did you get your invitation to join? I think mine must have gotten lost in the mail.

According to an older post (from 2012) on MouseSavers the below is included. However it is worth noting at in 2015 Club 33 changed its member program so that only the member and spouse of the member would be able to enjoy the perks of the Club. That means that private club members (vs. corporate members) can no longer call in a reservation for their friends, they have to be there with them.

Platinum Membership in Club 33
Platinum Membership requires a $25,000 initiation fee and annual dues of $10,000.

Platinum Membership includes:

4 Premier Annual Passes (valid at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World)
50 Park Hopper tickets per year for friends and family
5 VIP Tours per year
Ability to reserve meals at Club 33
Access to 1901 lounge in DCA
Access to Club 33 Member Services, which makes all reservations/arrangements: hotel, restaurant, VIP Fantasmic! viewing, VIP seating for World of Color, etc.

Sounds worth it to me waiting waiting waiting

Joe did say he would get us at least 200 points at each resort if we hit the lottery big laugh laugh laugh

That with Club 33, I would be happy as a pig in .......... rolling

You also have to remember that this is the benefits from Club 33 at Disneyland. As far as I know, they haven't released the complete list of benefits for Club 33 at Walt Disney World.

Wowza! I feel like a millionaire when I stay at AKL. I'd feel like Warren Buffett in this club! I can't even imagine it.

With Club 33 now established and selling memberships, here is a list of the pricing and benefits:

- The initial price to join is $33,000. The annual membership fee is $15,000.

The membership includes:
- Access to all 4 Walt Disney World Club 33 locations

- Premier Passport for the member, spouse, and any children under age 26

- 50, 1-day park hopper tickets a year

- 5 day-long VIP guided tours

- Access to a private concierge service

- A limited number of instant FastPass+ reservations

The rush to open the Hollywood Studios location is likely tied to the upcoming end of the fiscal quarter for the company. The division likely needed to begin selling memberships even though the 4 lounge locations are behind schedule (or in the case of Disney's Animal Kingdom, not even decided upon). The Epcot Club 33 location in The American Adventure is expected to open before the end of the Spring, while the Magic Kingdom lounge in Adventureland will open in the Fall of 2018. All 4 locations will be lounges offering drinks and small bites only.

Disney has yet to publicly announce anything about the Walt Disney World Club 33, other than its existence of course. The earliest members of the new club are supposedly all residents of Golden Oak, Disney World's private living community.
