Club 33 & Park Admission

[tbonejeeper]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer. We were invited as guests to dinner at Club 33 tomorrow. We'd need to pay for park admission to get to the club, correct? We are a family of 4, so $600. I know it's a once in a lifetime thing, but we've all been to Disney recently, so we're trying to avoid this if cost possible. Is there an escort, or tunnel or teleporter to get to the club or something?

Yes, you need park admission. What an opportunity tho! I am jealous!

I believe so, yes. We were guests of a member last year, and he asked us if we had tickets already, which we did. So it is possible that they have some tickets for guests. Also, if the member is an AP holder, they might be able to get you the $99 bring a friend tickets.

Thanks for the quick answer, that's what I thought. We will enjoy either way!

Yes, you will need park admission unless your sponsor implicitly said otherwise. If your sponsor is not going with you, you enter the park like normal, and go back to New Orleans Square, and press the doorbell at the C33 door

Have an amazing time! I'm totally enviois!

Thanks for the info, will check on that.

Just curious (because I’m sure I’ll be invited eventually ;-)): does Club 33 offer vegan/vegetarian options?

You can always ask around for a kind Annual Passholder once you get to the parks. We did that this morning and there were 3 of us and the first couple we asked said yes! We bought tickets with them & entered the park with them. They were so nice and were actually happy to help us out!!!

Yes. They have a vegetarian menu, and if you need vegan, when the sponsor makes a reservation they need to leave a note for the reservation of the dietary needs.
An idea of the menu is below:
Appetizers
Artichoke Gratiné, Sorrel, Red Bell Pepper Hollandaise
Spanish Quinoa Flute, Fresh Corn, Basil Pistou
Soup and Salad
Roasted Tomato Soup, Summer Vegetables, French Crostini
Coastal Strawberry Salad, White Radicchio, Belgian Endive, Tangerine Vinaigrette
Third Courses
Chickpea and Artichoke Panelle, Garden Vegetables, Carrot Coulis
White Cheddar Potato Ravioli, Fava Bean, Thyme
Entrées
Chef’s Choice of Seasonal Market Vegetables
Tempura Zucchini Blossoms, Almond Caponata, Grilled Eggplant
Finales
Peach Upside-Down Cake, Raspberries, Vanilla Ice Cream
“Black Forest Sundae”, Double Dark Chocolate, Summer Cherries, Coconut Cloud
Valrhona Chocolate Brownie Pudding, Bananas Foster Sauce
Triple Melon Summer Cooler, Chilled Watermelon Soup, Basil Granità

The Peach upside down cake and the chocolate brownie are AWESOME.

The sponsor is the only one with the answer to this. As for "escort, tunnel, or teleporter", no. Members do have a very limited number of tickets they can use. Certain memberships also have a limited number of "Dine Only" tickets (member must be dining with you, and must escort you in and out of the park.) . Not all memberships have this perk. If you are not dining with the member, this is off the table anyway.

If I'm going to dinner at 33, anywhere I can store our nicer clothing all day, as we don't want to wear slacks etc. in the park? Are the lockers big enough, or should we just keep in our car?

 

[Malcon10t]

You should be able to use a locker. It is what a lot of people do. You can also leave in the car, but that is a hike to go get. The large lockers fit 2 large backpacks.
