gotdane Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hey TPR! Today was a special trip to the Disneyland Resort, and you'll find out why soon. Lets just start at the beginning: Then Ryan talked to the lady in the box and was like "I'm the King let me in!"...STAY TUNED! MORE PICS SOON! Chris was celebrating... Hector was happy... Thanks Ryan! No need to be so disgruntled, though! Club 33! New Orleans Square! Home of... We entered Disneyland to find Sleeping Beauty's Castle hiding behind some walls... Hmmm...This guy looks like he might be joining us... Then Ryan gave us these! These are special! It's Ryan! ...Chris proceeded to punch him in the cock. I think we need to go meet that guy ...thats reading a book...at Disneyland...He might have something for us! We weren't celebrating the slow as heck trams either... We weren't celebrating the # of people that would be at the Resort... Cause it's time to celebrate! Stay to the left! Right on Disneyland Drive! Right on Ball! See...Chris and I Chris and I were headed to the Disneyland Resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdane Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Continued... Another pic from up above!...STAY TUNED! MORE PICS COMING SOON! Don't forget...I was there too! Hector, Chris, and Ryan (thru the bush) One of the several Club 33 Balconys We're cool on the balcony. BALCONY SHOTS! The food was all delicious and the desserts were nice, too...here's a small sample. I got the Pan Roasted Chicken, Mac & Cheese Croquette, and Pickled Sweet Carrot...and Hector and Ryan got the Fresh Pasta 3 x 3...Which was pretty much just a lot of pasta. Chris got the Prime Flat Iron Steak, Truffled Potato Puree, and Merlot Demi Glace ...and I got regular ice...yes, it's important! I was disappointed that Ryan got crushed ice... Chris enjoying his machiatto-sized soup. Ryan...thru the Club 33 Flower Centerpiece! The lunch menu... I'm happy with our view of the Rivers of America Our table...Hector is still happy...that might be because his menu doesn't have prices on it. Crammed into the elevator YAY! We're on the other side of the door! This is the foyer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotdane Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Woohoo! On our way to meet up with Robb and Erik we saw the new Monorail Orange! STAY TUNED! MORE PICS SOON! One last photo in the infamous Club 33! Obviously we weren't UBER impressed with all the nice stuff inside the restaurant, it was all about the views out the windows...like this one on the walk back to the elevator/foyer. Clever... They had these animatronic birds in the Trophy Room. After paying our ridiculous bill (but the experience was totally worth it!) we did some exploring...Ryan check ed out the kitchen. We got back to our table and had these mints waiting for us! ...thru that door! We entered from down there... LMAO Ballin! We fly high, no lie, you know this. Another view from the balcony...

robbalvey Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Club 33 hasn't changed much since when I worked there. Menu even still looks very much the same. I've always thought that it was a lot like "Cruise Ship Dining" in terms of service and quality. Other than the "exclusivity" and the fact that you'll make tons of other Disneyland fanboys jealous as hell by actually getting to eat there, I've never found it to be really anything special. But then again I saw it from the "other side" and knowing that most of the food prep is done in the same place that the Royal Street Veranda Clam Chowder & Fritters are made my opinion is probably very tarnished. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost007jas Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'd love to eat there one day, merely to say that I've done it. I'd also like to be able to afford to eat there (let alone get in!). And I think I must be color blind.. that monorail looks red to me.. Oh, and great pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdane Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Even more pictures! We left after pyro and found this awesome yet hideous contraption...Awesome cause its Batman....hideous cause...well...its an xB. The VIP Viewing area is PERFECT! The show was delayed for about 15 minutes because of winds but ended up going off without a hitch! George surprised us with VIP Viewing for Remember...Dreams Come True! And for some reason some of us look high....lol. After Robb & Erik left and my friend George met up with us...We hit up Space Mountain! Chris enjoying his taco. Erik documented me enjoying my delicious Black Pepper Popcorn Taco...Hopefully he'll share! Chris showing off his Popcorn Taco. Next...Robb had the genius idea of filling the Mission Tortilla Factory tortillas with the delicious Black Pepper Popcorn! YAY! One of my favorite coasters. Time for the reason we were in DCA! Hey Rand! Make sure they build good stuff! Hector's happiness had turned to disgust. Some guys were building things... BAM! DCA!.... POOH! "Who's glad Pirates is over!?" ...Honestly not my favorite attraction! We want the red head! A decent shot of Davey Jones On to Pirates! Love it. Chris captured this beauty...note that we've joined up with Robb and Erik! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Although it would seem odd that I didn't come up with the AMAZING Black Pepper Popcorn Burrito I must give credit to Erik! I bow down to you man with your amazing food creation ideas. You should totally be on the Food Network instead of that obnoxious Guy guy! And yeah, I was sooooo happy when Pirates was over too. I think it's just that I've been on it SO MUCH (and spending about 5 years working in New Orleans Square doesn't help) that it really is one of my least favorite Disney staple attractions. Great TR! Some amazing pics! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdane Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 I totally agree Robb! And I think I must be color blind.. that monorail looks red to me.. Oh, and great pictures! Monorail Orange looks very much like Monorail Red! LOL...That might even be a pic of Red...but Orange was out on the track! (I'm pretty sure that is ACTUALLY Orange, though.) Thanks for reading/viewing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost007jas Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hmm.. I blame the lighting! Nice Batman car find! I've found the greatest cars in the Disneyland parking structure.. I should try to find my picture of the hearse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCFreak Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Today rocked so hard. Definitely one of the best Disney Days I've ever had at the Resort, minus the whole embroidery incident, and the shirt ripping lol. But I now have $120 Mickey ears with my name on them hahahaha! I'm so tired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscoe Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I always thought lunch at 33 was part of the membership that people payed? Thats not right is it? Great trip report guys.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 So is that what Batman drives around on his day off? Great TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 My Dad had lunch at Club 33 back in the 1970s. He was president of the California Apricot Advisory Board, which was looking into sponsoring a store on Main Street (turned out to be a bit too rich for CAAB). Back then, DL execs had their offices in the same building as the Primeval World. Dad said it was pretty bizarre to hear the occasional T-Rex roar as they listened to Disney's sales pitch. I remember visiting the old Disney Gallery with a disabled friend. The handicapped entrance was some tiny service elevator, and you had to walk through a kitchen to get to the gallery (maybe it's the same kitchen Robb mentioned).

NINCUB Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'm so jealous: I haven't had the pleasure of having dinner with Hector yet! I guess the Club 33 might be cool? maybe? But hanging with Hector would be uber-cool. So let us know who or what was done to get the privilege of eating at the infamouse Club 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Great Trip report. I was actually at the Park yesterday, and ran into Robb + Erik. So how did you guys get 'access' to Club 33? Do one of you know someone who is a member, and they got you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 This was actually one of the best days that I have ever had at the park, its was so much fun! I really want to go back to 33 just cause I want to try the dinner menue...But I need to save up for that, seeing as I spent $130 on lunch! I always thought lunch at 33 was part of the membership that people payed? Thats not right is it? Great trip report guys.. You pay the membership...to have the privlidge...to go in the door...and then pay again for lunch or dinner...and pay for souvineers...lol. I'm so jealous: I haven't had the pleasure of having dinner with Hector yet! I guess the Club 33 might be cool? maybe? But hanging with Hector would be uber-cool. So let us know who or what was done to get the privilege of eating at the infamouse Club 33. Um, I called him, and said: "Hey hector, what are you doing on Wednesday?" He was free, so I invited him, haha. (He's really easy ) Great Trip report. I was actually at the Park yesterday, and ran into Robb + Erik. So how did you guys get 'access' to Club 33? Do one of you know someone who is a member, and they got you in? We know someone, who's Dad's Girlfriends best friend has the membership. And the reservation was made! Thanks to everyone that we met up with yesterday! And that is monorail Orange, you can tell cause there are no guests in it. Red was running all day with guests.
