ANAHEIM, Calif. (UPI) -- Exclusivity has a whole new meaning at
Disneyland's Club 33 in California, where waiting for a membership
takes years -- if you're lucky to get on the list.
One applicant has been on the restaurant's waiting list since 2001.
Another recently learned the list is so full he can't even get on it.
The nine-year waiting list is capped at 1,000 people.
But things may loosen up, The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
Disneyland officials said they plan to rearrange some tables to add
seating to the members-only restaurant identifiable only by a green
door with the address. The membership, which stands at about 487,
could increase to 500.
The club, created by Walt Disney as a place where he could entertain
investors and business associates, didn't open until 1967, after his
death.
Reservations -- made weeks in advance -- include access to Disneyland
for the day for those in the member's party. Other perks include tours
and invitations to holiday events.
"Because the club is for members and their guests only, our cast knows
individual preferences at a level that is truly unique," said Mary
Niven, Disneyland Resort's vice president of food and beverage.
