Club 33 is special to me because it isn't easy to go there. If it was I fear it would become rather stodgy quickly. The food is better at Napa Rose anyway.

It's way over-rated, because as you say, the food is better at Napa Rose. MInd you, I too would go if I was invited, but I would not pay to be a member.

Since they enter into the park for free if dinning at the club, it's a great deal. The special events were the main draw for us. The behind the scene tours and experiences are wonderful and the special artist dinners are also enjoyable. There are definately better ways to spend money out there, but for Disney-holics, this is wonderful tonic! Anthony Hopkins was there having dinner one night and we missed him by twenty minutes. Darn!
