Yes, and we had a few people from Mousepad there, including Mickey0264 and others. It was a nice time.
There are so many detailed photos in that thread, that it looks almost like an Insurance Company Inventory! I don't think they missed a doorknob!

Great photos! I have only been able to see the lobby (Walk in Walt's Footsteps Tour) so this is great to see so much more!!!
I have been looking everywhere to find reliable information on the amount it is to join and the annual dues. Does anyone know for sure? Also, how long is the waiting list? I have found different numbers for that as well.
We are on the waiting list, although I don't know if we can really afford it but I am hoping we can by the time our name comes up.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!
Didn't you get the information sheet with the prices when you got the form to add yourself to the wait list?Originally Posted by kandyk

Great pics! It gets me excited for my first trip on 8/13! Were the ears for sale? Hopefully they will have some when I am there!

Where do you go to get on the waiting list? I am sure it has been posted before, but I can't seem to find it.
And, what happens if you can't afford it when the time comes? Do they draw and quarter you?

Correct. As I mentioned in another thread last year on this same waitlist subject...the waitlist could be very much shorter than the 7 years they are currently estimating. Of course, it could end up being longer too!
Here's my post from that thread:A recent long-time reader of my web site finally got his membership a few months ago after a 3yr+7mo wait. But there can be times when the waitlist has jumped to as long as 8 years.
I'm told that pending application numbers are very high at the moment. Someone who applies today, might have a longer than 3 year wait. This is due to some degree to recent published articles on the Club that have peaked interest in memberships. Also...IMHO...due to new management at the Club punching things up. Word gets around. Club 33 is very "hot" right now.
Membership attrition is a hard thing to predict. Three main factors that tend to shake some apples off the tree are:
The Economy: When the economy is sour, a few big cost cutting corporations either drop their memberships altogether, or trim back the number of Corporate Associate cards that are issued by them, to save money. Individual memberships can be effected by this too. This helps free up some spots for new memberships. Of course the reverse is true too. If the economy is good, then Corporate Members tend to expand their memberships, thus increasing the waitlist times.
The Annual Dues: When annual dues go up, there's always some members that feel that the price just isn't worth it for them any longer or is no longer affordable. Resulting in some bow-outs.
The Grim Reaper: Dead members find there is no longer any practical benefit to membership. So they pack it in and move on.
Another factor is waitlist attrition. While it may look like say, a 5 year wait to management...you'd be surprised how many people finally clear the list, but then decide to pass on membership when they do! This is another thing that makes it very hard for the Club to predict true waitlist times.

I remember reading the transcript of a speech that a club manager gave sometime ago at a Disneyana convention. 10 years maybe? I wish I had the details still. I remember reading that he said attrition was about 10 memberships a year, and they typically send out 50 invites at a time, and typically hear back from 8. Those numbers may be off, but I believe them to be fairly close to what he said.

Love it! Someday I hope I will be able to go there!!!
Cool. Is it possible to purchase the Club 33 polo shirts outside of the club? (Other than E-Bay.)
No. You'd have to have somebody buy one for you that actually can get into the Club. (Hoping that this is accurate and knowing that I am going to get schooled if I am wrong.)
Nope. You need to visit there (or know someone who is that will purchase it for you) to be able to purchase Club 33 merchandise, and for non-Members that pretty much means you have to have a reservation and dine there. They won't even mail-order for the Members. It's strictly Cash & Carry. And no discounts of any kind, even for Cast Members.
Edited to add: ThemeParkAddictOfOC and I must have been posting at the same time there.

Wow, great pics. My wife and I were actually there that day and we'll be adding these pics to our collection. We're actually in the 6th picture down on the 1st page, the one of the lift. You won't be able to see us though because the CM crammed 4 people into that thing - we're the two feet in the back of the lift.
Doe this mean only cash or will they accept CC? About what price ranges are shirts and hats? Any other info. would be great... thx much!

What happens if you move before they get to your name on the list? forfit? or can you inform them of your new address? maybe in seven to ten years I can afford to join.
Great! I'm glad you could join us that day. Lots of people chose to ride the lift, just because of the novelty, I guess.Wow, great pics.

We purchased some of the polo shirts there last month and they were around $65 each. ouch!Doe this mean only cash or will they accept CC? About what price ranges are shirts and hats? Any other info. would be great... thx much!
Luckily they have a lot of free souveneirs though, like all the bathroom and bar napkins!
I bought the ears on Ebay.
I collect Mickey ears, and had to have those. That's as close as I will come to being at Club 33...I own ears that were there. ha!
I think that you have to put down a deposit? Opus1guy? I recall $500?
I'm just glad to have friends who are important.
No deposits. If you move, just mail them a letter telling them about when you put your name on the list, and give them your old and new addresses.I think that you have to put down a deposit? Opus1guy? I recall $500?
