If you’re ever lucky enough to experience Disneyland’s Club 33, there are some rules you need to be aware of…
Located in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square above Pirates of the Caribbean, Club 33 is a private dining club that first opened inside Disneyland in 1967. Elegant, filled with hidden Disney treasures, and a hotspot for celebrities and Disney fans alike, this exclusive club is THE PLACE to visit at Disneyland — no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Known for its ridiculously delicious offerings and discreet dining experience, visiting Club 33 is special — and a privilege that comes with its own set of rules and regulations.
Costing an initiation fee of $80,000 with annual costs of $22,000, membership gives you access to Club 33, The 1901 Lounge inside the Carthay Circle Restaurant in Disney California Adventure, VIP tours, exclusive merchandise, and so much more. You can also experience Club 33 and its perks by visiting as a guest with an active member. Either way, if you plan on heading on in to Club 33, there are guidelines you’ll need to be aware of.
Dress Code
There are different areas within Club 33 and each have their own dress codes. The required dress code for Le Grand Salon is business casual attire or “a higher standard of dress which is appropriate for a fine dining experience. The dress code is enforced at all times regardless of whether you’re dining for lunch or dinner.
Suggestions from Club 33 include: “a sports coat or blazer, collared shirts, blouses, knit sweaters, dresses, skirts, slacks, khakis, and denim jeans.” Shoes must also be well-maintained and can be “leather shoes, loafers, dressy sneakers, leather or dressy sandals.” Hats and Mickey/Minnie Ears must be removed upon entry.
The following clothing items are NEVER allowed: “shorts, distressed, ripped, frayed or defaced denim, cut-offs, t-shirts, tank tops, crop tops or clothing that allows for an exposed midriff, undershirts, hats, hooded sweatshirts, swimsuits, beach wear, yoga pants, athletic/workout wear, exposed undergarments, or beach flip flops. In addition, attire that displays a strong affiliation including, without limitation, slogans, novelty, political or offensive symbols/wording, or attire in the judgment of the Club 33 staff that might be offensive to any individual at the Disneyland Resort is not allowed.”
Over in Le Salon Nouveau and 1901 Lounge, the required dress code is smart casual attire, including “collared shirts, sweaters, tasteful tops and fitted t-shirts, denim jeans, slacks, khakis, walking shorts, dresses, and skirts. Shoes must be well-maintained, athletic or dressy sneakers, loafers, leather or dressy sandals.”
Items NEVER allowed are: “distressed, ripped, frayed, or defaced denim, cut-offs, tank tops, crop tops or clothing that allows for an exposed midriff, undershirts, swimsuits, beach wear, loungewear, yoga pants, athletic/workout wear, exposed undergarments, or beach flip flops. In addition, attire that displays a strong affiliation including, without limitation, slogans, novelty, political or offensive symbols/wording, or attire in the judgment of the Club 33 staff that might be offensive to any individual at the Disneyland Resort is not allowed.”
No Videography
While still photography is permitted within the public areas of Club 33, Le Grand Salon, Le Salon Nouveau and 1901 Lounge, any recording, filming, videotaping, streaming, and video capturing of any kind IS PROHIBITED.
Respecting the privacy of all individuals is required and posting photographs without their express written request is prohibited. Posting anything on social media anything Club 33 deems to be crude or disrespectful is also not allowed. You are also asked to refrain from asking for photos or autographs from any other Club 33 Member, guest, celebrity, Cast Member or otherwise.
No Reselling Merch
There’s a gift shop within Club 33 that sells special merchandise that changes from time time. We’re talking sweartshits, Minnie Ears, and all kinds of merch that would fetch a fine price on the ecommerce market.
Club 33 members are strictly prohibited from reselling official club merchandise and breaking this rule can get you banned from the club.
No Bad Behavior
This may seem obvious, but bad behavior is also strictly prohibited. Harrasing other guests, displaying public intoxication, and being rude are good ways to get banned.
Additionally, you are responsible for your guests if you’re a member, meaning their behavior reflects on you and you will get in trouble if they misbehave.
When in doubt, check the official Club 33 website for all the club rules! In the meantime, stay tuned right here at DFB for more Disneyland tips, tricks, updates, and reviews!

LOVE these rules! It would be great to enforce some of them throughout the entirety of all of the Parks. Some guests need a refresher in common courtesy and good manners and be more “magical” to others.
