Club 33 Tokyo Japan

Club 33 offers unique membership benefits. More information will be posted in due time.  

Members may reserve the entire club for special occasions such as birthdays, holiday parties, business functions, and so forth. Reservations must be cleared through the club secretary well in advance. 

Members are entitled to ride aboard the Lilly Belle when the car is in operation. The Lilly Belle is the private train car, designed/furnished by Lillian Disney. It was Walt's dream to have a private train car where he could entertain his personal guests and VIP's. Trains were Walt's passion. The train car is lavishly furnished in beautiful dark wood, merlot (red) mohair upholstery, both stained and beveled glass, all with a Victorian flair. Members may take their guests with them aboard the private train car. A member's guest, if not accompanied by the member, may not ride the Lilly Belle. The Lilly Belle is traditionally pulled by the engine, "Holiday 5".Please click here to visit Yensid's Library. Yensid's (Disney spelled backwards) has some wonderful Lilly Belle photos and information. You may also visit: waltstoytrains.railfan.net

Club members may also visit the wheel house of the Mark Twain Mississippi River Boat. This area is restricted to park guests and may normally be entered only with the pilot's permission. The wheel house provides a beautiful view of the Rivers of America. 
Here is a wonderful web site with photos of the wheel house: I have enjoyed this site immensely.

Members may make reservations for friends and associates to dine at Club 33, less the actual member being present. Reservations are best made well in advance due to the club's busy schedule.

Members may order any of Disney's costumed characters to appear at the club. Birthdays, business meetings, special events, it's always more fun with Mickey or Donald. Reservation of a specific character(s) should be made well in advance. 

Members receive a special entrance card to enter the club. There is a special security slot in the recessed doorway where the card is inserted and the door lock releases. 

Members may enter Disneyland without having to purchase a ticket or pass. Once inside they may stay the entire day. Guests who will be accompanying the member will also be allowed into the park at no cost, provided they dine at the club. Such guests may also stay the entire day. Members may sign in one guest without such guests dining at the club. Members and their guests may arrive as early as they wish. 

Members may enter the club any time they wish during normal operating hours to dine, pending the availability of tables. They may also enter to purchase any of the fine Club 33 collectibles available in the Lounge Alley show case. The club staff will always try to accommodate a member to the best of their ability. 

Club 33 hosts many special events. They range from wine tasting, to special event previews, participative  artist dinners where the special guest(s) make presentations and discuss park history, holiday dinners, and the list goes on. Members are notified of these special events and allowed to make advance reservations. These events normally sell out immediately due to their popularity. Quite often, in the Disney tradition, the club will have special event merchandise which is either given to guests, raffled, or sold. If a member decides not to attend, they may allow guests to take their reservations. Attendance to these events is very limited and extremely exclusive. If you ever get the chance to attend one of these wonderful  occasions, I'm sure the experience will not soon be forgotten.  

One of the most popular club events are the "behind the scenes" tours. When a new ride is opening or perhaps being re-opened after refurbishing, special event dinners are organized around such ride. Members are normally treated to a wonderful dinner within the club, and from there, taken to the specific attraction. Club members are greeted by their tour guide and thusly escorted through the attraction. One such recent event was a walking tour through The Haunted Mansion. Each guest was given a small glass vial filled with the synthetic dust used inside the mansion. 

Members also receive valet parking at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. They merely drive up to DGCH, present their Club 33 membership card and photo identification, and the cautious valet takes care of everything.
