May 10th One Day Disneyland and California Adventure Mini TR - Part 2
{{{{{Club 33}}}}}
The thought of going to Club 33 was unreal! I was still pinching myself that I was there at Disneyland and then yet another unbelievable surprise on the way!
My friend had briefed me on the dress code. Though we were just going to the lounge and not the fancy dining room, and it is not formal dress or anything there, just no beach wear/flip flops, ripped clothing, and anything that looks like you basically came from the pool straight to the club, haha. I didn't really need to worry about that since I didn't bring anything beach-y anyways. Except my attitude.
From California Adventure, I walked the 8-9 minutes back to the Fairfield Inn, rested for like 20 mins, took a nice cool shower, packed up and headed back out. Gosh it's so nice to stay within walking distance as you're not really at the mercy of other modes of transportation. Looking back I didn't actually need to come back and could have just checked out in the morning and stayed in the parks all day, but it was nice to have a shower when it was so hot, plus it was going to be a loooong day as I planned to be out until 11pm when Disneyland closed! I also checked the app again to see when I could make another fastpass and luckily I was able to make one for Hyperspace Mountain!
I headed back to the parks after checking out and storing my bag with bell services. I would not hesitate to stay at the Fairfield Inn again, especially since it's so close and I can still earn my Marriott points. The Courtyard next door looks nicer but it's usually more expensive and it's about an extra minute and a half walk, so up to you if you want to waste that additional 90 seconds walking or not
.
This poster was outside my hotel:
(BTW do you see the hidden Minnie on my shirt? I told you I travel with a lot of Disney clothing even when not expecting to be at Disney!)
I walked back to DCA because I had another FP for Radiator Springs Racers to use!
I was finally feeling a little hungry so I stopped at the Cozy Cones again to get the Bacon Mac and Cheese in a Bread Cone. I was eyeing this on my last visit in 2016 but did not get it and got the one with the green chili chicken instead. The green chili chicken one is gone from the menu (it's too bad as it was pretty tasty) but the mac and cheese one is still there!
It was delicious...so decadent and rich...and carb-y!
Apparently all I wanted to do today is eat carbs. It was definitely filling as I finished practically the whole thing. I did not eat half of the bread cone though as it got to be too much, and it definitely wasn't as tasty as the bacon mac and cheese part!
Next up was my turn on Radiator Springs Racers. I still had to wait close to 25 minutes but still beat the 110 minute standby line. Gosh I love this ride. It blows my mind!
Hahaha!
Since I did't have much time until I had to head to Disneyland, I took this opportunity to just walk around and finally get some PP pics.
I walked over to the Guardians of the Galaxy ride. I looked up and it was just so...daunting. It seems taller than ToT! Now I am NOT a free-falling type ride person. I just cannot. But I love GoTG. I was going to psych myself into going on it, but there was a 90 minute wait and...well I'll wait until we return in 2019 and I can go on with Steve, although I'm not sure if going on the ride with him will make it any better.
I did watch a bit of the show that Star Lord and Gamora were having in front.
And caught a few more PP pics near the Hyperion Theater.
I was just about to leave DCA to head over to DL when I spotted a kiosk selling these little beauties:
SCORE!! Sully the popcorn bucket was sold out all morning but they finally got some in so I grabbed one. There was a line of people and he was going like hotcakes! Now I also have popcorn to snack on which is just splendid! I wish I could have got my hands on the Mike Wazowski sipper up, @Lesley Wake said they attach together as a team! It would have been so cute.
I passed by one PP Photographer near the entrance to the park and he offered to take my picture with my new best buddy.
He was a pain to carry around though, so bulky! I managed to stuff most of him in my drawstring backpack and his head stuck out though, which was funny.
OK bye DCA! Even though I'd be back tonight to watch Paint The Nite, that was all the rides I really had time for! Now, onto Disneyland!
I walked out of DA, and in two minutes I was here:
I had some time before Hyperspace so I went on Star Tours, and Buzz Lightyear. Star Tours is the same as in WDW. I saw the new Last Jedi sequence again, not sure if it's still the same for everyone.
OFF TOPIC: I thought that parts of the new movie Solo: A Star Wars Story remind me of riding Star Tours! Not like nauseating motion or anything but the speed, the intensity, and the music mainly. It was so fun! I really recommend seeing SOLO, I know a lot of people did not for different reasons, but don't listen to the rumors out there, it was a really fun movie that is mainly an origin story and kept pretty true to it's roots while allowing Han Solo to further grow as a character. I did think the first 30 minutes were a little shaky but it was smooth sailing after that.
My picture didn't come out on Buzz Lightyear, which is a bummer, I had a pose and everything. But no time to look for that, I needed to launch into Hyperspace!
Sorry no pics here. In between handling bulky Sully in my backpack and making sure he fit in the ride...it was very hard to take pictures of any kind! I also forgot the ride picture, but oh well, my bad. But the ride was as fantastic as before, although I did not get to ride alone this time.
I managed to make another FP for later that night at Indiana Jones. So excited!
Now it was time to meet my friend so we could go to Club 33!! Eeek!
My friend met me near the exit to Hyperspace so we could walk over together. I had a vague idea of where the club was but not really sure. It's in the back of where New Orleans square is. Not completely hidden but you could walk past and miss it. We sauntered up to the nice blue door that said 33 at the top (sorry was a bit too awe struck at seeing it, I didn't take a picture). My friend rang the doorbell and a host came to collect us, and soon I took my first step into in the Club...
It was just magical
, everything looked like it was out of a fairy tale storybook, but with an elegant, adult twist.
There is a beautiful courtyard that you first see when entering, with a set of blue stairs that take you upstairs. I think many people have pictures here, so here's mine, minus my friend:
Sorry not the best picture, but just so you get the idea about how pretty the place is.
So from what I understand, the picture rules are really about being cautious and not taking pictures of other guests, private areas like the bathrooms, and overall not revealing too much. My friend was telling me how strict they can be with these rules, so I did not want to risk getting in trouble by taking pictures of everything under the sun (Club 33's sun, that is), so I definitely refrained from doing so. I also really wanted to absorb and take in in the magic on this visit. Everything is immaculately decorated - if I can describe it, it would be "elegant whimsy", with extreme attention to detail. Most of the decor and furnishings have a traditional vibe but with a Disney twist of course. Think of all the elegant Disney resorts - Grand Floridian, Grand Californian, Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside, throw in some Victoria and Albert's, a bit of Alice in Wonderland, Beast's library, Rapunzel's hair adorned with flowers, a vintage garden tea party, some Pirates, some Princesses, the great estates of the south, the Adventurers Club, basically ALL THINGS GOOD, throw in some sparkly crystal, wrap it in a solid gold bow, and you've got Club 33.
The lounge and dining area is upstairs, so we went up and checked in with the hosts there. Everyone was so super friendly and nothing screamed "exclusive club" at all, aside from the fact that we were actually in, the most exclusive club of all. I admired all the beautiful and expensive Club 33 merchandise set inside pristine glass cases. It included stuff like shot glasses, crystal, exclusive Dooney & Bourkes, and gorgeous jewelry with the "33" symbol prominently displayed. Some items could be purchased by members only and some were able to be purchased by guests.
As we waited, my friend offered to show me around. We saw the actual dining room which is the most beautiful dining room I've ever seen. It was so pretty, and so intricately detailed - I remember seeing shades of graceful creams and soft blues with dark wood...fresh cut flowers, polished silverware, stylish china. I thought it would be like Victoria and Albert's, and in a way the elegance is the same but the decor at V&A is more chintzy whereas this was was slightly more...sophisticated and royal are the words that comes to mind. It was really special. Then we went to the lounge area, which was just awesome. I am not sure how to describe it but the words "enchanted speakeasy with a jazz vibe" come to mind. It was bigger than I expected, with a beautiful dark wood bar area, lots of framed artwork, exposed brick walls, handsome couches and chairs in rich jewel tones and patterns, and marble-topped dining tables set around the perimeter of the room. The colors were more deep blues, greens, and purples. It was definitely geared for more casual dining and lounging than the formal dining area, but there was still that Club 33 magic in the air. We sat at one of the tables that was next to a window, and looking out I could see New Orleans square with unassuming people milling about. This is what it looks like from the top y'all!
This was the drink menu which was displayed as a hardcover book:
Me in the lounge, sort of the only "proof" that I have showing I was actually there:
There was a lounge food menu or you could also choose anything from the real dining room food menu. Caviar anyone?
Since we were mostly just drinking and snacking, we got some libations, a cobb salad to share, and an order of the onion rings. I opted for a drink called The Painted Lady. I can't remember what was in it but it sounded and tasted amazing - a little lighter than a mai tai with more fruit flavor.
I posted the following cryptic picture to Facebook with the caption:
"So how is your evening going?"
It was, indeed, the #ultimatepayback.
I had a great time chatting with my friend who told me a lot about the history of the club, and the little feats of imagineering found throughout. So some of the artwork on the walls had abstract pictures of Jazz musicians, and from time to time the musicians would "disappear" from the art, and sort of become a little dancing ball of light, almost like Tinkerbell, which would dance around the back of the bar in tune with the music. It was so cool, and so subtle, and of course, very Disney! I would not have noticed this if my friend did not point it out as you'd have to be actively staring at the pictures or the bar to notice it. I was so delighted to hear stories like this as these little touches really add to the whole experience!
Our onion rings and salad arrived. They had split the salad in the kitchen for us so we were each given a plate. The portion was quite large so I'm glad we shared. It was the perfect size!
The onion rings were perfectly battered and crisp served with a delicious artisan ketchup in the cutest container:
The cobb salad was delicious and refreshing, definitely welcome after my day filled with fried foods and carbs.
There were mixed greens, grilled chicken, bacon, avocado, egg, and some shaved Parmesan tossed with a lovely vinaigrette.
I couldn't leave without a visit to the ladies room. It was amazing, like a decadent Victorian tea party! Lot's of florals, creams and gold, but it wasn't garish, really something out of the movies and with a pretty color palette. Even the paper towels had the "33" insignia on it.
We each had another drink and chit chatted and it was great!
I really have been pixie-dusted on this trip!
It was getting closer to the time I had to leave to watch the Paint the Night parade back at DCA and meet Alison and Jenny so sadly it was time to leave the charmed quarters of Club 33 and join the rest of the world. Sigh, I will be back to being one of them common folk again. I thanked my friend profusely for sharing the magic with me. 
Hopefully it can happen again in my lifetime, but regardless, I'll always have the memory of tonight.
I walked over to DCA and met up with @franandaj and met @rentayenta for the first time! Love my DISboard family, always someone new and cool to meet!
They were hanging out over by where Pixar Pier is, near the Little Mermaid ride. We got a nice view of the parade right in front. Thanks for staking out the spots ladies! They ate churros while I went to get a coffee. I needed something to keep me awake for the next 3 hours!
Here's us:
The temperature definitely drops like 20-30 degrees from the day so bring another layer otherwise it will get cold in the evening!
I love that though, it's so comfortable watching shows and you're not sweating profusely while on line.
I don't have pictures from the parade as I did a Facebook live video instead. I'll see if I can upload some of it as it's a looong video, and not really a great quality one at that. My best advice is to watch a good quality video on youtube. I also have better pictures of it on my previous Disneyland TR. It's a fantastic parade with a very catchy soundtrack that everyone just sings along to. I'm so happy to have seen it again!
I have some very bad screenshots from my phone though, LOL:
After the parade we all headed out, Alison and Jenny went back to the parking garage and I was headed back to Disneyland for my last few power hours.
Thanks for meeting up with me guys! How lucky you live so close to the parks!
#WhenCanWeDoThisAgain?
Back in Disneyland I headed straight for my FP at Indiana Jones. I love the ride vehicle (same as Dinosaur!) but I can't stand Dinosaur and yet I love Indiana Jones, haha.
For some reason the ride was loading slowing, think there was a minor delay, so I ended up waiting closer to 25 minutes to ride and I thought it would be much shorter. That did not give me much time to do much else but I persevered after and went and made a beeline for BTMRR - I was lucky and got the front row!
Sorry this is the best picture I could get at that time:
And then I ended the night with another classic: Haunted Mansion
By then the park was closed and I had completed my marathon 15-hour solo day.
It was the most amazing day.
I was exhausted though! I trudged back to the Fairfield Inn where Steve was waiting for me with the car.
On the way I managed to get even more pressed pennies for my nieces and nephew that had "Disneyland" on them. They love them!
It was an hour and 15 minutes to get home to Hemet...let's not mention the fact that Steve got pulled over (just a warning, no ticket, thank goodness)
But even though I was so tired, I could not stop talking about how amazing my day was that I didn't even sleep in the car like I thought I would, haha.
Thanks for reading about my solo Disneyland adventure! It will surely be hard to top this day.
Next up I will be back to our regular schedule with more Food and Wine reporting!!

I know my husband and son will want to ride it.
But if I win the lottery.... I’m so happy for you that you got to see it. Magical!! I loved Solo too. I don’t understand all the poor reviews. 
All in all, sounds like it was one of the best days ever!!!
) But it was some weird fake charred black stuff 
It was nice meeting you! Your Club 33 pics are awesome!
