Its places like DisneyLand which let us free our inner child.But they seem to realize that we need some adult time after being surrounded by swarms or screaming little ones.This is where Club33 walks in.Hidden near the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ride there is a nondescript door with nothing but 33 written on it.This is the Executive members only section that you may join for $10,000 plus an annual free of $3500.Its also the only place in the park that serves alcohol.
