Everyone who knows me knows that I am an absolute Disney fanatic. I cry when I go to a Disney movie and see the castle before the movie starts because it reminds me of my Disney trips. I love the precision of Disney, the attention to detail, and the way that everything moves so smoothly. More than that, I love the memories that I have of my kids having birthdays in Disney, my husband and I running from ride to ride before we even had kids, and the true family time that we have spent together.
But the other thing that I love are the mysteries of Disney. So many things that you don’t know what to believe. Am I just seeing “hidden Mickeys” everywhere or are they placed there? Is there really an elite, member-only restaurant above the shops in Disneyland? (I know the answer to that one!) Is there really an underground city under Walt Disney World?
To answer that final question, check out this video from Disney Parks that I found on Youtube. It’s only 5 minutes but you actually get a glimpse “behind the magic”!

Wow – thanks for the info. Never been to Disneyland; don’t think we will, either, as Disney World is everything we want. Unless, of course, someone invites me to dinner at Club 33!
There is an exclusive, members-only restaurant above the shops in Disneyland! It’s called Club 33. Walt Disney had a small apartment above Pirates of the Caribbean. He wanted a place close where he could entertain important guests in private. A restaurant was built overlooking the water. You have to fill out an application and be on a wait list (right now I hear it’s 10 years) for the privilege of joining. Then you have to pay (no one says how much…but it is believed to be several thousand dollars) for the right to join. It’s an amazing experience. You would never believe you were in Disney because there is nothing “Mickey Mouse” about it. Beautiful wooden bar, decor selected by Walt’s wife, and gourmet food. Probably $75-100 a person and up for dinner?
No such thing in Disney World, however. At least not that I have heard of. We are WDW visitors each year as well but have only been to DL once (on our trip to Club 33 without the kids!).
We go to Florida every year… just got our tickets in the mail a few days ago for the upcoming years (10-day, no expiration). So, what’s the answer to the members-only restaurant above the shops on Main St.?
