Check out this scanned-in 1967 prospectus for membership in the then-new Club 33, the secretive exclusive members’ club over Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean.
High above the streets and courtyards of New Orleans Square, hidden from public view and the bustle of a typical day at Disneyland, is a page out of old New Orleans that even the proud Creole society might have chosen and cherished as its own.
Here French doors open onto balconies that overlook Disneyland’s own muddy Mississippi, the Rivers of America. Here, in the tradition of the good host, Walt Disney and his staff planned and executed Disneyland’s most exclusive setting – part elegant dining room, part relaxed refreshment center, part distinguished art gallery, part meeting room and part private showplace.
Everything – from plush furnishings to crystal chandeliers, from original paintings and sketches to a personalized Audio-Animatronic show for members and guests only – has been chosen or specially created for Club 33, by the staff of WED Enterprises and by other Disney artisans.
Here, away from the general public, adult beverages will be available, including the finest of wines to match the food specialities of the house.
(Thanks, Kirby!)
