It's possible but something that costs 10s of thousands of dollars doesn't always have the biggest demand. Also I believe it has been said that you would only "buy into" one location rather than being able to go to all of them.
Yes, it was pretty good. It also served as a place where new interests could be cultivated. New sponsors, new connections. A need that still exists.I think a club for the original investors was a truly awesome idea.

DVC also costs 10s of thousands of dollars (depending on how much you buy) and that has 200,000 members. So my guess is this will be popular. Or at least it will be popular IF there is perceived value there. If they give you perks similar to what Disneyland Club 33 members are given, my guess is this will be popular.
The economics of DVC are quite a bit different. 200 points purchased retail today might cost around $35,000 in up-front costs. However, the recurring annual dues payment is only about $1000. Since those dues are linked to resort operating costs, they will increase at a very gradual rate. And if the owner ever tires of the product, they can sell and recoup some or all of their initial investment.
Tokyo has had a Club 33 for years, and Shanghai opened with Club 33 so DL has not had it exclusively.For those of you who are already Club 33 members - or are planning on joining one of the "new" Club 33 locations - do you feel like your membership isn't as exclusive now that Disney are building other Club 33 locations? Is it still worth it to you even though DL won't be the only park with a Club 33 anymore? Or is it still worth it to you?
That is indeed what I am hearing as well. These are overtaking some of the existing corporate lounges.I have zero inside info on this, but I'm going to speculate that Walt Disney World's physical Club 33s are going to be more like the corporate VIP lounges that exist around property with a bit more emphasis on light food and adult beverages. Places where Members will be able to duck into and relax, have some drinks and perhaps a limited lounge light food menu, away from the masses. Very similar to Club 33's "1901" extension at the California Adventure Park. I don't think they're going to build a full blown restaurant at any of them like Disneyland in California has. I could be wrong of course.

Club 33 in California was for most of it's life...simply a place...a private restaurant. Today, Club 33 in California is more of a complete exclusive service program that includes VIP tours, special viewing areas, special events, handfulls of Fastpasses, 1901 Lounge & Bar, valet parking, hotel upgrades, etc, etc...and the physical original Club 33 restaurant which is now just a part of that whole membership "package" if-you-will. Today, Club 33 no longer refers to a place (in fact, its entrance and address is no longer even located at 33 Royal Street)...it refers to a whole membership program.
In a nutshell, in Florida I think it's going to be some VIP lounges plus some of the VIP access and services that are part of the traditions and benefits of their California counterpart. A way for you, your family, guests and clients to enjoy some very special and exclusive experiences when visiting, many in an uncrowed unmatched setting.
I'm going to assume if they have memberships per park, they may also have a 4 park membership? Obviously, we'll have to see how it prices out, but if we have to pick one park, it will be EP.
I have heard rumors that they would go even that far. Obviously things can still change.Did someone state there would be separate memberships per each of the 4 WDW parks?

This location makes perfect sense. A great centrally located place that's accessible from both entrances. It's and you're also a private lounge In the Imagination building also?American Adventure
While I agree that this building has a private lounge, it's well off the beaten path and not very easily accessible. It certainly would provide any draw to get people there except for any amenities offered.Dino land
Where in Adventureland is there presently a private area? Pirates of the Caribbean building maybe? I do agree that that area or the Castle would be the preferred areas with Main Street being a distant 3rd. The only advantage to main street is that it most closely resembles where D33 is in Disneyland.Adventureland
Obviously a very nice location could be built during the expansion however if it's also going to be open by the end of the year that's ruled out. ToT would be the most logical choice and also a very good choice.DHS is unsure
There is an existing lounge within the American Adventure pavilion on the second floor which is what would be used. Imagination is the existing DVC lounge.This location makes perfect sense.
