Oh okay, yeah, sorry, I knew that.
A member can make as many reservations as they wish for others. However, they are limited to 50 complimentary tickets a year. So, most members are making sure people know they will need their own entry tickets if they want to visit Club 33.
So one day was standing across the street from the door, casually looking toward the door waiting to see anyone go in or go out and I told a street sweeper who was passing by that I saw someone go in there, and asked what it was.
He said, "I honestly have no idea" and kept right on walking.
We both knew better, it was kind of a funny experience.
Mark me down for one of the people who wants to go so badly. About a year and a half ago I sent a request to be put on the waiting list, and got a letter back saying that they were no longer taking names on the waiting list. That's the closest I've ever gotten to Club 33.
When they announced that they were reopening the wait list in May, I made another formal request, but I don't think I'll follow through because the price increase is more than I can afford to spend on such a luxury.
If anyone sees this and wants to send some club 33 lovin' my way, that'd be awesome. It's just my wife and I, two very quiet and polite people in our mid 20's who would be grateful for an opportunity to go before we have kids. We'd be willing to go any time a reservation could be made. If you're out there, and would be willing to get us in, just send a PM. I'll never let anyone know who it was that got us in, we'd be model citizens and not put your membership in jeopardy, and we'd hang a portrait of you in our house so that we would always remember what you did for us.
Oh... and sorry to threadjack, OP.
VIP Tour access to Club 33 is a recent change in policy, which might be worthwhile for a "once in a lifetime" event.ok now before you give everybody a heart attack...what it is, if you book a VIP tour, you can request to have the option to dine at Club 33 but it is not guaranteed...in fact, if you want to be honest, I wonder how many people have actually gotten to do it...if it was that easy there would be less reason to buy membership
...so you are paying $275 per hour (minimum 6 hours) during off peak season for no guarantee...uh i will pass *sigh*
I checked on this when I read it, and was told they will attempt to make a reservation, however if the club is expected to be running close to capacity, or if the club becomes full after making your reservation and a member requests a reservation, you will get bumped to Carthay.You could help yourself
Based on some recent posts on MiceAge, it is now possible to dine at Club 33 as part of a VIP tour. VIP tours are available to anyone willing to pay the price
Oh okay, now I understand.
This makes VIP Tours less desirable if the only objective is to dine at Club 33.
I think it doesn't hurt to ask!
I was so incredibly lucky to get to go this year for lunch. I often think about the person who gave me the reservation and hope they know how much it meant to my daughter and me. I doubt we will ever be fortunate to go again, but just to go once and have those pictures and that experience with my daughter was a highlight of my life.
One thing that we got there that was very neat was the Club 33 mickey ears. They are a prize pocession of my daughter! She is 15 and we are both the ultimate Disney geeks, so to be able to not only dine there but also to be able to tour the restaurant and talk to everyone there was incredible for us.
My DD15 is the reason I have a trip ticker, we are going for her 16th birthday, which is Sunday! 
Can I ask you how much the ears were? Just curious.

The last time I got them, they were $22+/-. Just a warning, they didn't have them last Monday. BUT, make sure you pay with a credit card, and you will get a pen you can keep! They did have the Christmas pin, a shot glass, latte mugs, shirts, a scarf, and a few other items available last week. OH, the baseball cap! (MY daughter's prized possession.)Can I ask you how much the ears were? Just curious.
. I have the ball cap, 33 ears, a holiday pin and keychain, all sitting pretty in my glass cabinet. I wear the cap sometimes and use the keychain occasionally. I loved wearing the ears while at DLR.
To anyone listening... This die hard Disney fan will do it in a second!
