Club 33 Current Menu?

[Iceman93]

I’m wondering what the current menu is, and also wondering when Club 33 generally switches over to their Christmas decorations and menu? I think it would be so special to experience it all dressed up for the holidays.

Also, if anyone has advice about lunch vs dinner, I’m all ears! This would just be me (late 40s) and my mother (early 70s). We do enjoy wine and would like to partake during the meal. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like they're changing over on 14 Nov.

Dinner typically adds a few choices to the menu, but the experience is largely the same. Of course if you time your dinner right, you can pause to watch Fantasmic! from the balcony (through the trees, but still...). It really depends on when in the day you want your "fancy" meal that you have to dress up for (in more than regular theme park attire).

As for wine, I strongly suggest adding the wine pairings to your meal. It's a $100 add-on, but the pours are generous and the wines matched perfectly to each selection for each course. It's much easier than trying to pick a single bottle (from their admittedly extensive list) that will complement everything you both order.

Thank you so much for this feedback! I am leaning toward the wine pairing, even though we likely can’t finish all the pours (due to our low tolerance, ha ha!). But we appreciate great wine enough for it to be “worth it,” even if we only drink some of the wine.

You can ask for one wine pairing for the two of you to share. That way you'll each get smaller pours but still get to enjoy the expert complement of each wine to each course!

I have been lucky to go to Club 33 a couple of times. I personally much prefer lunch. Part of the fun is to have Disneyland outside the windows and when it’s dark you don’t really see that much. I also think lunch tends to be less busy generally (depends also on day of the week) and I find that the dining room can feel very crowded when it’s really busy. Lunch has felt far more relaxed for us.

I had a friend who did this. I always thought it would be so cool, but the price is high and the one who makes the reservation is on the hook for the entire cost, so if anyone bails, they have to cover it ($18,000 is the total cost currently and I think it's up to 12 guests). There was some talk on the board at one time of getting a group together, but it's such a risk unless you get people to pay you up front, and then it's a risk for the guests who have to hand over their money in advance. At that time, I think it was $15,000 total. I don't remember anyone volunteering to make the reservation LOL. There used to be a FB group (I believe it was private) for people who wanted to do the 21 Royal dinner. Sadly, I'm not in a position to be anything but an invited guest . I'll try to find Matt's trip report about it and add it to this post.

I was part of the FB group or another one similar (can’t remember), but really really wanted to do it. I still do. I hope that opportunity comes up again but yes, it’s nerve wracking trying to put together and it’s scary how much it costs and the risk that it could fall apart. It’s a dream for me still!

Brilliant!

Didn't mean to be absent from the forum for such a long time -- I'll blame my computer. To the OP, enjoy the experience!
Here are the Oct menus, posted on one of the Club 33 fan FB groups. Sorry that they're blurry.
