A Fresh New Look For Club 33

The refurbishing of Club 33 has welcomed an era of dark wood, gold accenting, and elegance felt no where else within the park.

Original Pirates of the Caribbean artwork.

While much of the Pirates of the Caribbean have been moved, we were pleased to see a few select pieces still have a home within the club.

Certified Organic Free Range Chicken, Mascarpone Orzo

This is a lovely dish for those seeking a slightly lighter fare. Notice the wonderful presentation and care in preparation and presentation.
I simply can't wait to go again!

1967 Happiest Millionare Costume Sketches

As the club was opened in 1967, the Disney motion picture 'The Happiest Millionare' was also released. To commemorate this event, the club now features actual costume design sketches for your viewing. They're really quite lovely, be sure to view them in The Lounge Alley.

Our last visit to Club 33



Well, I really must admit, we have a wonderful evening on 10-18-2008. Curt was our waiter, polite, efficient, very warm and friendly with 20 years experience inside the club. Wow!
Curt was so nice to spend some extra time with us and explain the history of the new decor which is quite lovely. If you have a chance to visit the club, don't pass it up! While I did miss much of the New Orleans pirate and Haunted Mansion artwork, the new decor was quite lovely. The Trophy room also has a nice, fresh appearance with some of the 'British men's club' style returned.
I highly recommend the baked peach pastry with homemade walnut ice cream. Apparently Chef Marcel received an ice cream maker and he's making the most of it, all to our benefit of course. My tailor would agree, he appreciates the extra work.
The Heirloom Tomato and Bell Pepper Soup was incredibly satisfying. While not quite as heavy as their traditional bisque, I would highly recommend this.
I heard from the staff that a menu change may be in the works for the on coming Winter season. Hopefully they'll bring back their famous Butternut Bisque and those wonderful Pumpkin Creme Brulee. If you've never experiened Creme Brulee baked inside a spiced miniature squash, your life is not yet complete.
The Colorado Lamb Chops was perfect, but honestly, I could have eaten at least two to three more. They were so tasty, I had to purposely control myself and eat slowly to make them last. Great job Chef!
Thanks especially to Eric Quezada, he's such a wonderful manager. Eric was very cognizant of our presence and truly went out of his way to make us feel at home. Although we're not yet members, Eric and Curt made us feel as though we were and that is what makes Disneyland 'The Happiest Place On Earth!'

Thank you to everyone at Club 33!

Beautiful New Window Coverings!

Heirloom Bell Pepper Tomato Soup!

Originally I had not ordered this wonderful rich soup, but after tasting my wife's, well, I simply had to! It is wonderful! If you're going to the club be sure to try this, it's not quite as rich as a standard bisque, but oh so amazing! My wife actually wanted to have three or four bowls as her dinner entree!

A busy Saturday night at Club 33!

Curt, Heidi & Grace

Curt Williams-20 years with Club 33!

Here is a nice photo of our Club 33 cast member, Curt Williams. Polite, efficient, really quite a charming fellow. He spent a great deal of time with us making sure everything was perfect. Thanks Curt!

Our recent dinner! What a great night!

We enjoyed dinner at the club tonight, and well, it was wonderful! Curt is an incredibly nice waiter, now going on his 20th year. That is really quite an impressive figure!
Eric was hand to make sure everything was running smoothly and as usual, he's an incredible manager. Thanks to cast for making this an enjoyable Saturday night!
I was quite fortunate in selecting the Colorado Lamb Chops, cooked medium. Crusted with pecans with a peach pastry for dessert, I'm quite content fellow!

I was most fortunate on Friday night to have enjoyed dinner with the retired Club 33 bartender Dr. Lee this past Friday night. We dined at Mr. Stox in Anaheim which proved to be a most enjoyable evening. Looks like retirement is agreeing with glass bottle veteran!

The club's drink are growing in popularity!

Here is a story you'll love!
My family and I had dinner tonight at PF Changs near Disneyland in the platinum triangle area. My daughter desperately wanted to try the Italian cream drink, you know the one with ginger ale, half and half, grenadine. She pulled up Dr. Lee's blog on her 'IPhone', found the recipe blog posting, handed her phone the PF Changs bartender and ask if he would please make this drink. He looked at it and said, "Wow, that looks great, where did that come from?"
She explained about the blog and he very impressed. He made the drink for her, charged her very little, then made one for another guest who was watching. I think that will soon be a regular bar item for them!
Great job!
The drink was so enjoyable and truly perfect for families and those who do not drink alcohol.
Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
