Did you know that Disneyland venues all around the world each have a secret, exclusive club? Me neither.

The private establishment is called Club 33, and visitors at the theme park have always felt an air of mystery around the club.

I was never aware that Disneyland had a VIP section, but here we are, and everyone wants to know how to get in.

Described as 'Disney's most exclusive club', people have theorised about what could be inside, with the waiting list rumoured to be 15 years long (though that myth has been debunked).

The ultra-exclusive venue is thought to be a place where celebrities and important corporate figures can go to avoid the crowds, have a drink and enjoy gourmet cuisine.

Disney has remained tight-lipped on the club ever since its introduction by Walt Disney in 1967.

Disney state on their website that: "Members enjoy special access and exceptional service at the Club 33 locations at Walt Disney World Resort.

"Each venue is uniquely themed to represent Walt and Lillian's adventures around the world."

There are only three questions in their FAQ answers, along with three short, fairly vague answers.

Answering what exactly the club is, Disney says: "Club 33 is a private Membership club with a variety of tailored experiences for its Members."

To speak to someone about your interest in the club, Disney says: "To express interest in Club 33 Membership at the Walt Disney World Resort, contact [email protected]."

It's that simple! Wait... surely not.

The third question then asks what to do if you don't hear back, to which the answer says: "As membership opportunities are evaluated, Club 33 may contact you for further information."

Now that is the mystery we were looking for.

Pictures of lounges and rooms in the club have been leaked in the past, with photos showing off an extravagant design with an ode to the early 20th century.

The club only accepts a few hundred members per theme park, with rumours of membership prices varying greatly.

According to WDW magazine, it is a $60,000 (£47,300) deposit as an 'initial invitation investment' followed by annual payments of $25,000 (£19,700) to maintain your membership.

Wowzers.

What's more, membership to Club 33 in one destination doesn't grant membership to Club 33s elsewhere.

It begs the question: What exactly are you paying for that costs that much?

Of course, not all applications are accepted, even if you do have the money so there are definitely separate factors that play into it.

Known members of Club 33 are: Elizabeth Taylor, Christina Aguilera, Elton John, Tom Hanks, Tiger Woods, Michael Jackson and Katy Perry.
