In an unprecedented announcement, the Walt Disney Company has revealed that its most exclusive venue, Club 33, will soon be accessible to every Disney enthusiast around the globe. This unique opportunity isn’t through membership—but through the silver screen!
Disney theme parks are globally renowned for their immersive experiences, from thrilling new rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT to timeless classics. As Disney continues to invest $60 billion into expanding its parks and attractions, as reported by CEO Bob Iger, fans worldwide can look forward to even more enchanting innovations and experiences.
The illustrious Club 33, founded in 1967 within Disneyland Resort’s New Orleans Square, notoriously remains one of the most coveted, secretive spots in all of Disney. With branches at Tokyo Disney Resort, Shanghai Disney Resort, and lounges strewn across Walt Disney World, its mystique has only grown. However, very few get to peek behind its sophisticated doors due to the hefty membership fees.
But now, the magic of Club 33 will be accessible like never before through a new live-action film, as exclusively revealed by The Hollywood Reporter. The narrative follows a young detective invited to this secretive club filled with historical icons, only to be thrust into a gripping murder mystery. Darren Lemke, famous for Goosebumps, is penning the script, while 21 Laps Entertainment’s Shawn Levy is onboard as producer. This movie promises to mix the allure of Clue’s mystery with the fantastical charm of Night at the Museum.
This forthcoming film joins a proud lineage of Disney theme park ride-adaptations. From the swashbuckling success of Pirates of the Caribbean to the adventurous tales of Jungle Cruise, Disney continues to enchant audiences with stories inspired by its iconic attractions. The hope is that this cinematic venture into Club 33 will triumph where films like the recent Haunted Mansion reboot stumbled.
