Disney is synonymous with fantasy and magic. For many Disney vacationers, a trip to the Magic Kingdom is as much a rite of passage as are grumbling about the exorbitant costs of admission, food, merchandise, etc. But for some, the love of Disney goes above and beyond a mere vacation to Disney Parks.

For those who can afford it, you can turn your Disney vacation into a VIP experience that is above and beyond your wildest childhood dreams. If all that still doesn’t satisfy your cravings, there’s another level of privilege that awaits: you can actually live at Disney World.

In this article, we’ll explore how the super-rich do Disney – and provide some links so if you are so inclined, you can splurge on a few experiences for yourself.

Club 33

One of the most VIP experiences at Disneyland is Club 33, located above Disneyland’s Café Orleans in New Orleans Square, it rates the most exclusive five-star restaurants on the West Coast. Designed by Walt Disney himself to be an elegant escape from the bustle and noise of the park, it’s been patronized by presidents, kings, luminaries, and celebrities from around the world. While the investment to become a Club 33 member isn’t posted publicly, initiation fees are rumored to run $30,000-40,000 with annual dues around $10,000-20,000 per person. Hold on before you get your checkbook ready, there’s a waiting list that has ranged from 500 to 800 people over the years.

Why so exclusive? Even the top celebrity cannot waltz up to the door and gain access to unannounced. Anyone who desires access to the club must either have a membership themselves or have an approved reservation made in advance by a member. Walt did this intentionally as he desired an exclusive place in the park where corporate sponsors and celebrities could dine in VIP style and he could entertain guests worthy of the name Disney. Sadly, Walt passed away before he ever saw Club 33 open.

If you’re a Disney geek, your head will explode.

Club 33 is hands down the most exclusive Disney VIP experience that will cost you the big bucks to experience.
