Be prepared to wait years, not months before you hear from them on any possible membership openings.

Did you send a waiting list deposit check? If so, you deserve at least an update call or letter -

They don't send acknowledgements and my manager contact says the wait is about 10 years.

There are currently NO names being added to the "waiting list", and there is NO check sent in to get on the list. So, you can try calling, but don't expect to hear anything for YEARS. At least 5 is a good bet, but I would not be surprised at the 10 year figure either at this point. The "usual" rate of people dropping out of the club has slowed to a trickle, if anything.

Grab yourself a churro, and find somewhere cozy to wait...

Wow we posted that at the same time! Thanks for answering that before I posted, retlawfan!

Or, perhaps, the demand is so high that a second in-park location should be opened.

A second location just wouldn't be the same. Club 33 is so special, at least to me, because that is where Walt himself entertained guests. I would never pay the membership fee to be stuck at a different location. But again, that is just my opinion.

Can someone clear up a little confusion for me... I can see that it would be cool to have dinner at club 33, but for that huge price of membership, they better do a whole lot more than simply allow me into the park and make reservations to spend another $100 on dinner. Am I missing something? Is there more to the membership than nostalgia and reservations?

If not, I will save my $$$ and buy a second home in Orlando so I can go to some really nice restaurants and enjoy more parks!

If you are deciding on wheather or not to join the Club based on "bang for your buck", you most likely aren't in a high enough income bracket to even be considering joining.
