If you’re here hoping to learn how to snag a reservation at Club 33, I’m afraid I can’t offer any secret tricks .. although if you read the last paragraph here it might offer a creative way. It’s a tough place to get into, and there’s no easy way around it. However, I was lucky enough to dine there and wanted to share our experience! For Disney fans, Club 33 is like the holy grail—a hidden, exclusive restaurant within the park that feels impossible to access.

So, how do you dine there? Well, it’s by invitation only through a membership, which comes with a hefty price tag. The waitlist is also notoriously long. Who holds these coveted memberships? Mostly wealthy families, I’m sure, but my guess (and how I got in) is that many companies bought memberships long ago. We were lucky enough to be invited by someone with a membership, which gave us the chance to enter the park and ring the famous doorbell to begin our journey.

While having a membership lets you dine at the restaurant, it’s not free—you still pay for your meal, and it’s not cheap. The perk is free entry to the park for the day, which was a nice bonus! Since the membership holder wasn’t going to use all their dining passes for the year, we got an unexpected invite.

Now, the food. It was absolutely amazing! Would I personally consider the membership worth it? Probably not, but the dinner experience was totally worth it. The restaurant itself is filled with rare Disney memorabilia and exclusive props, making the whole atmosphere feel extra special.

A pro tip: order the drink served in a collectible glass so you can take home a memorable souvenir! And don’t forget to grab some merchandise after your meal. It’s pricey, but if you get a chance to visit, it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Some items are only available to members, so as guests, we had a limited selection to choose from, but it was still fun to shop!

Oh, and one last thing… this might even be a little tip for getting in. After we posted about our night on Instagram, my DMs were flooded with messages from people asking about dining at Club 33 and if I could somehow invite them (strangers, mind you!). I even had a boyfriend reach out, desperately trying to get a reservation for him and his girlfriend. So, who knows—maybe there’s something to it! Perhaps following the #club33 hashtag could help you connect with the right people. After all, sometimes it’s just about who you know.
