My Club 33 trip ONLY pictures! update x5 3/13 Complete!

Nice series of shots once more. Would be interested in the photopass shots to see how they turned out! You have a great eye for photography.

We did get back from DL on Monday. What a whirlwind trip. We burned the candle at both ends and I was so exhausted. Club 33 was fantastic. Still can't wait to see your photos and your experience too!

Good luck with the the grading.

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed Club 33 and had a great trip!! Have the renovations on the Club started?? They were originally supposed to have started before our visit in July, but they hadn't been. It will be interesting to see the changes.

What a cool blog!:cool1:

Thanks.
 
I wandered around Carsland for a few minutes, debating whether or not to get in another line... and, of course, taking a few more pictures.

Sorry... Disneyland is too crowded for me to wait until everyone walks by... Hahaha. Is this anyone you know?

Don't get mad at me, but I don't think I've ever tried a churro! I think it will be something of a must do for my next trip. Someday!

I just realized this picture was not with my photopass pictures... hmmm... I'm probably too late to have it added! :rotfl: But I hope there are not too many others missing! :confused:

Time to head back out to get ready for CLUB 33!!!

from raw-5650 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr
 

I had time to run back, get changed and quickly get ready before I ran back to Disneyland. I was scared I would be late, so I did walk quite quickly, and got the blisters from my dressy sandals to prove it! (But it was worth it, I was on time! Hee hee hee)

I love this sign!

We met outside the Club, and our wonderful host gave us our Club 33 name tags! We had a large group and we had to wait a few minutes for the last few to arrive. I was so excited to have this opportunity, so I say thank you again to my amazing host! (And a little apology for not replying to some emails very quickly... it's been a very busy and stressful summer/fall so far).

Next up: Inside the club!
 
Many of us were snapping pictures of everything in the lobby! We were all so happy to be in there.

Some of us chose to take the elevator upstairs, and others used the stairs.

I, naturally, chose the elevator!

Some of the items that were for sale.

We sat down for a few minutes and ordered our drinks. We had so many people at our meet that there were 2 tables. I was not at our special guest, Bob Gurr's table, but he was able to speak loudly enough for all of us to hear some of his stories. He was so friendly and entertaining! After ordering our drinks, we got up to get our first course. I took my camera of course, and took pictures, including of the dessert bar.
 
Many very talented people have played at this piano from what I understand.

Oh... I wish I had sampled more desserts!


from raw-5715 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-5716 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-5717 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

My simple first plate.


from raw-5719 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I had ordered the chicken, mostly because I wanted the macaroni! HAHAHAHAHA

But some people at our table are Club members and they ordered extra macaroni for the others to try, so I should have ordered something else, but we had to pre-order because our group was so large. It was all delicious, well except the asparagus, but that's my taste buds' fault, not anyone else's!


from raw-5720 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-5721 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

For some reason I did not have anyone take a picture of me, and I didn't take all of my camera equipment, so I didn't have my wide angle lens for taking pictures of the whole room/group. I didn't want to be carrying my camera backpack in Club 33.

Here are my desserts. Bob said that his favorite were the eclairs, so I had to try that, and I wanted something with Club 33 on it. I had always wanted to try creme brulee, and this was a tiny sample, so it was a good try. If only I hadn't been so stuffed, I might have tried more! Hahahaha

I had to go to the ladies room to take some pictures!

After listening to some more stories and enjoying the wonderful company of the other guests, we all went and bought some items from Club 33. I got the ears, since they were in stock! And I got a couple of key chains. Next up, we were going to head to the Main Street train station to ride the Lilly Belle!
 

from raw-5742 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Heading back down Main Street, right behind our wonderful host (I don't know if I should be using names or not, so I am not!) and Bob.


from raw-5743 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

The vehicles mean so much more because they make me think of Bob.


from raw-5745 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Here is Bob beside the Fire engine that he had built for Disneyland!


from raw-5746 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-5750 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-5751 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

The people sitting there had NO idea who was posing behind the wheel! I wanted to tell them to get out and let us in, but they totally had no understanding of what was going on. I don't believe they speak English.


from raw-5752 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

With the right cap on! I was really wishing I had a different lens with me. It would have been nice to get a little wider to have the whole engine in the picture too. Still nice though, to me!

from raw-5754 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr
 
Once inside the train station, it was decided that we would go around the whole track in two groups. Our table got to be first since we hadn't sat with Bob, and he was going on each trip.


from raw-5756 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-5757 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We each got a ticket to ride the Disneyland Railroad, and Bob actually signed them all for us!


from raw-5759 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-5761 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

You could hear a few of us "squealing" a little bit (or eeking) as we got on the Lilly Belle.

There was an actual photo album in the table, and Bob had taken it out to show us. We each had a chance to take a peek and take some pictures of it.

It was an amazing experience! I wasn't feeling well, so I went back to my hotel for the rest of the day, but the crew of them went back up Main Street, saw Bob's window and went out on the balcony at Club 33. I wish I'd have been feeling up to it because it sounded lovely.

On the way back to my hotel, I saw this gentleman at the crosswalk. I still struggle with seeing Disney castmembers in public like that!
 
Awesome update as usual. What an amazing experience you had. Getting to meet and dine with a Disney legend is a fantastic experience. We got to ride the Lilly Belle a few years ago and it was a blast. I remember when we stopped in Toontown that people thought we were celebrities. Ha Ha.

Our Club 33 Experience was amazing as well. We had a four course meal. We started with a seafood platter, then salads, the main entree which was the filet, and then onto the desert buffet. It looked different than yours. The steak was amazing. We had been to Steakhouse 55 the year before and thought it was one of the top 5 steaks we've had of all time. In fact we were a little bummed that we were there this time around but this filet was right up there.

Sorry you weren't feeling well. That's a shame.
 
GREAT photos DisneyFreak06!!! I loved reliving the memories of that amazing day!:) Thanks for posting your pics!
 
Club 33 looks awesome. I hope the changes aren't so drastic that it isn't as elegant as it is now. It would disappoint me to see a less elegant place if I get to see it on my Backstage Magic trip in July 2014.
 
Wow! :worship: Nice report! Sorry you weren't feeling well at the end. I'm sorry if you've mentioned this but, what type of camera do you have? Your pictures are so sharp and clear and your pictures in the Pirates of the Carib. ride were so good!!!

I love reliving it too! And no problem.

I will need to do the Walk in Walt's Foosteps tour again, because I hear they get to see Walt's apartment now!

Wow! :worship: Nice report! Sorry you weren't feeling well at the end. I'm sorry if you've mentioned this but, what type of camera do you have? Your pictures are so sharp and clear and your pictures in the Pirates of the Carib. ride were so good!!!

Thanks. I use a Canon 60D. I have a few different lenses that I use, and some are better than others, and have different strengths.
 
I had planned to do tons of updates this past week or so, but you'll never believe my luck. Bad luck that is! I updated my TR on Saturday of last week. Sunday I turned on my computer to do another update and my computer wouldn't work. Needless to say I was just a wee bit worried.

Thankfully I have a friend that looked at my computer and it was a simple fix, but it took a while for him to look at it, partly because he thought it would take a long time.

So hopefully sometime within the next few days I will upload some pictures to flickr and then update my TR for you all. There are still many pictures to come, so don't run away and hide just because I've finished the Club 33 section. ;)
 
Just spent the last hour going through your TR after stumbling across it as a link in the Canadian board. I've only visited DLR and DCA on total commando setting while attending a conference (and only having 3 hours each day).

Your pictures are wonderful and can't wait to plan a family trip for 2015 or 2016.

Thanks for sharing!
