In a move that has both intrigued and concerned visitors, Disneyland has quietly started inviting inquiries for its exclusive and elusive Club 33 membership through its official app. For the first time ever, the information page about Club 33 has been made public, raising eyebrows and speculation among Disney enthusiasts. According to a report by the Daily Mail, some visitors see this as a sign that Disneyland may be looking to increase revenue in anticipation of an economic downturn.

For those unfamiliar, Club 33 is Disneyland’s most exclusive private dining club. Founded by Walt Disney in 1967, the club boasts high-profile members like Elton John, Tom Hanks, Katy Perry, and Tiger Woods, although none have officially confirmed their membership. The club offers unparalleled access and exceptional service to its members within the Disneyland Resort.

The cost of joining this secretive club is as legendary as the club itself. Reports suggest that initiation fees can range between $30,000 to $100,000, depending on the membership level, with annual dues anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000. It’s no surprise then that rumors have circulated, fueled by recent developments, that Disneyland is actively seeking to bolster its revenue.

Social media has been abuzz with screenshots of the Club 33 advertisements in the Disneyland app. Some users speculate this is Disney’s strategy to prep for a revenue shortfall following recent economic policies announced by President Donald Trump, which have also affected Disney’s stock, causing it to drop over 22% month-to-date.

Disneyland, however, has refuted these claims. A spokesperson told SF Gate that the resort is not soliciting new Club 33 memberships. Instead, the spokesperson explained that the frequently asked questions page and membership inquiry link were created due to the high volume of questions they receive about Club 33. They emphasized that the interest list for Club 33 remains strong and robust.
