Disney Reporter all ears for Disney’s Club 33

Working as a reporter isn’t the highest paying job, one with few perks. So I figured a family trip to Anaheim was the perfect chance to wangle my way into Disneyland’s exclusive Club 33 restaurant; rarely seen by the public, let alone journalists. This is the club that Walt built, but he died just months before it opened. With fewer than 500 members around the globe, it’s the stuff of legends for most Disney fans.

Wow that's a woman who's easily pleased. If I got told 'you can look around a restaurant but only when it's closed' I'd have told them where to stuff it.

Not surprising to me. I imagine she's amongst the followers of the cult of Disney. Though I've been there before, these days I wouldn't get caught dead in that park or the restraunt for that matter.

Many years ago (before I finally figured out how to get in legitimately) some friends and I sneaked into Club 33 by attaching ourselves to the tail end of a large group as it was entering the club. Even though we couldn't do more than quietly look around and leave, we were still thrilled with the idea that we had "gotten away" with doing something forbidden.

My nephew goes to school at Cal State Fullerton and they had an animation department. There were various types of animator students. The ones who were clean-cut and talked about the various Disney characters as real persons, were called members of the Cult of the Mouse.

One cast member stopped to adjust his cravat necktie in a mirror before going “on stage”
My head's exploding with that redundancy. "Cravat necktie." As opposed to "cravat socks". (((Groan...)))

That article is so bad it reads like a "blurb". For the luvva pete! It really reads like a paid piece, IMHO.

I was at Disneyland last spring, my first visit in 25 years. I thought the place had really gone downhill. And the food was uniformly execrable.

Dunno, the soup in bread bowls in the Orleans area are pretty good.
