Club 33 - need help please

[Boo Mc]

Hi gang - sort of new to the DL forum and hoping you can help. We're planning a trip for this summer and DBIL thinks he can get us in to Club 33. Since we don't get to DL as often as WDW, I want to take advantage of his offer. So here are my questions: If we go to brunch or dinner is our theme park admission included? Can we still go to the park early in the morning and stay all day or can you only get in near your reservation time? What are the differences in price between brunch and dinner? Am I correct that they serve brunch (buffet) and dinner (from a menu)? Are you guaranteed to see characters or not? Lastly, do you just go to guest services in the morning tell them your about your reservation, pay for Club 33 and get in to the park? Would you still be able to hop to the other park (DCA) that day or do you have to stay in DL? Any other info or tips will be appreciated. Thanks so much for your help!!

Your reservations to Club 33 do include a one day park hopper ticket for each person in your party. You can pick up the park hoppers from guest services when the park opens and stay until the parks close, it doesn't matter what time your reservations are for.
The brunch is just under $50 per person, and the dinner menu starts at just under $50 a person. I've been there for lunch a few times and I've never seen, or heard of there being, any characters there.

HTH - Have a great time!!

There are sometimes characters at Club 33.
Not sure if there is a specific schedule for them though - so don't count on them being there while you are.

I'm not sure about the buffet. Lunch always used to be buffet, but I think I read that they changed it recently and while there is still a buffet line for salads and desserts, I think lunch is ordered from a menu as well.

Bring along extra $$$ for any souveniers you might want to purchase.
Have a great time!

Thanks for the responses! I'll be sure to bring some souvenir $$ - good tip! Chrysty, when you go to guest services, what do you actually pay for at that point? Since they wouldn't know what your Club 33 total is yet how do they charge you? Or do you just give your credit card when you make the Club 33 resservation? As you can see, I'm a little confused . Thanks for your help!

You don't have to pay anything when you pick up the passes or when you make the reservation. When you pick up the park hoppers from guest services just let them know that you have ressies for Club 33 and the name the reservation is under. Then, after eating at Club 33, you just pay at the end of your meal, just like any other restaurant.

Hi! I tried to post a couple of hours ago, but it didn't post .
Anyway, I just wanted to know if your BIL is a member of Club 33 and if so, how many years was he on the wait list?? Not that I could afford it...
Have fun, I am jealous!

As to the question of characters at Club 33: they have a character Sunday brunch but don't expect it to be anything like the character meals elsewhere. We saw a couple of characters, Minnie & ?, and they just made a brief apperance.

Hi

Went to Club 33 in March for brunch. Az Pirates is correct. No entree buffet, just salads and desserts. There were 9 of us and our total was around $690.00. No alcohol, just sodas. But it was definitly worth it. A once in a lifetime experience. Have a great time!!!

Briarmom - DBIL is not a member but has access through his job. Friend of Piglet - $690 - YIKES! There'll just be me, DH and our two kids (I'm assuming they have some type of kids menu). We're just soda drinkers, too. Wonder how much it'd be for us. Chrysty - thanks for the additional info. I wondered if they did it that way but then thought it might be possible for people to say they're going to Club 33, get in to the park and then not go to the restaurant. Though I guess that'd be pretty unlikely since whoever made the reservation for them would probably get a call about the no-show. Anyway, our kids might be too young to really appreciate it but I still think we should do it as a once in a lifetime thing. Now we just have to hope he gets the reservation!
