Club 33

Everyone knows about my fascination with theme parks and roller coasters. One of my specialist subjects is Disney World in Florida (as opposed to Disneyland in California). My most recent visit was October 2005. Not many people know that when Walt Disney was building the original Disneyland in 1955 he built his own private club right in the middle on Main Street and named it Club 33.

When Walt Disney was working with various corporate promoters for his attractions at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, he noted to himself of the various "VIP Lounges" made as a novelty for the corporate elite. This gave him the idea that culminated in Club 33, originally designed for the use of Disneyland's Corporate sponsors and other industry VIPs. When the design of New Orleans Square was planned, this special area for corporate sponsors and VIPs was included in it. After Disney's death, Club 33 was opened up to individual members also.
