I don't know how much you know about 33 so ask specific questions and we will try to answer. 33 is a members only club. We have had dinner their several times because my DWs company is a member. I do know that they had several memberships open up a few months ago. WDW does not have a similar restaurant.
Yep, it's quite costly and can be a long wait to become a member. Sometimes it's best (but hard) to try and find a member who will allow you to eat there as their guest (they don't have to be present).
This is what were doing next month. My DH knows someone at work who is associates with a member, and they are getting us in next month.
Yes there is a 14 year waiting list. In April and May they began sending out letters of interest to inquire if people still wanted to remain on the list to supposedly open up spaces. As of May 1/07 the waiting list is suspended. They are not taking anymore names even for the waiting list. Is it worth the wait? IMO ...no. No restaurant is worth a 14 year wait no matter how good the food and ambience is. However that is not the only reason to join. Some people feel the exclusivity is a real Disney perk and enjoy being members of a very exclusive club.
