Originally Posted By AndyPullen So here's what happend: The whole thing was a surprise for her. She had never been to California Adventure, because we're from Portland, and she only goes once a year, and is unable to afford more than a day. We rode the gems in California Adventure, and then came back into Disneyland. I told her that we had reservations at the Napa Rose at 6:30, but we really had reservations at Club 33 at 6:00. So I said that I wanted to head into New Orleans Square to ride the Haunted Mansion, and bum around the streets and shops. So when we walked through the Main Gate, the railroad announcer guy came over the speakers announcing the train arriving. So I quickly asked if we could hurry and go ride the train to New Orleans Square. We got up to the platform, and I saw a lady at the turnstile who was obviously a manager of some sorts. I asked her if we could ride the Lilly Belle, and she said sure. She showed us to the cast member who rides on the back of the train, who opened the car for us and turned on the fans. So we decided instead to ride the whole way around the park, since it was the Lilly Belle, and it was beautiful, and it was private. We concluded our tour around the Magic Kingdom at approximately 5:30, and so we had to go to New Orleans Square. When we got to the Club door, there were people lined up who also had reservations. I asked her if we could try to get a peak into the lobby, since it could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She said okay, and we walked around the shops, keeping our eye on the line. When the door was opened for those people, we walked up at the end, sticking our heads in the door. The guy at the desk then asked us if we had reservations, and as she started to say, "no, we just want to look in the lobby," I said, "actually, we have reservations here." She was in total shock, and the guy showed us upstairs, and we had a declicous dinner. Then afterwards, we took a bunch of pictures, and went out onto the balcony. The Club 33 staff knew I was going to propose, so they kinda closed off the balcony so that it would be private. And then I proposed looking over our favorite part of Disneyland right at dusk. It was perfect! And we both thought that Club 33 was really fun and memorable, and romantic all at the same time, which is exactly what I was looking for. She loved every second of it. It was great, and now we have our very own balcony in Disneyland that we'll always be able to look at and remember that night. For those of you who didn't think that we could make it in, and thought that I should settle for something less special... never settle, and as Julie Andrews once told me, Disneyland is a place where anything is possible. So, thanks a whole lot to the person who helped my fiance and I have a totally great night, just in case you happen to read this.

Originally Posted By AndyPullen Sorry for leaving out the proposal part. I was mostly answering to people interested in Club 33. She said yes, and we had a good cry and a good hug. Then we rode on Peter Pan's Flight. I had her brother put a bunch of flowers in the car which was in the garage, and she was surprised about that, too. And, no, we are not getting married in DL. I think that would be a bit obsessive for our liking (not that that's bad). We are going to WDW for our honeymoon.
