Lovely at Christmas

I haven't visited the club in some time, so I was quite pleased to have enjoyed a wonderful Club 33 lunch this past week. The decor as Christmas is quite lovely, subtle, not over powering as in most malls and dept. stores. Tasteful and festive keeping in the holiday tradition of Disneyland.
The halibut was delicious, flaky and white, wrapped in a lightly seasoned crust. Also provided was a lovely Creole style soup, spicy to be sure, but quite enjoyable. The soup was almost of a bisque consistency, I would highly recommend!
In keeping with the holiday traditions, home made gingerbread men were added to the dessert bar along with a sumptuous selection of tarts, cakes, and holiday creations such as the lemon filled eclair snowmen!
The holidays are simply not complete without a visit to Club 33!

December 5th, a very special day!

According to a recent e-mail, December 5th not only marks Walt's birthday, but its the day (at least for 2009 memberships) that Club 33 has mailed out membership invitations! For those lucky few who finally received your letter, congratulations! What a special day it must be for the Disney fan who has patiently waited almost 9 years to one day open the mail box and find a letter with the famous '33' in the upper corner. How many were sent remains a mystery but rest assured somewhere in the world, a Disney fan is smiling ear to ear.

While walking through Adventureland I couldn't help but notice the trunk of the second Tarzan tree, located near the East base of the POC bridge, appeared to have a face in it. Looking closely, it suddenly became apparent, it was Jabba the Hutt! Well, I asked my wife and daughter and they agreed but were amazed they never noticed it previously. The is truly the work of a Disney Master Sculptor. Rosemary from www.findingmickey.com investigated the somewhat random face and confirmed that, yes indeed, it appears to be the Hutt!

The artist who created wonderful piece has our most sincere congratulations, this is one of the best Easter Eggs I have yet to discover within the park.
