Club 33 will turn you away at the door for dress code violations if you show up for your dinner reservation dressed like you’re going to Disneyland in an Avengers t-shirt, Darth Vader hoodie or Mickey Mouse ears.
Disneyland’s secret and exclusive club won’t let you wear t-shirts, shorts, hooded sweatshirts, Mickey hats or Minnie ears if you want to eat in the main dining room above New Orleans Square.
The Disneyland website was updated recently with Club 33 dress code information, according to Disneyland officials.

Club 33 members and their guests are expected to wear appropriate clothing and conduct themselves with dignity and respect in order to preserve the customs, traditions and atmosphere of the private club billed as mysterious, magical, legendary and world class, according to the Club 33 website.
“Club 33 restaurant management has full discretion to determine and enforce appropriate attire including, without limitation, the issuance of a dress code infraction to the primary member,” according to the Club 33 website.
Children ages 10 and older are required to follow the same dress code as adults.
Shorts, t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, flip flops and hats are never allowed during lunch or dinner in Le Grand Salon restaurant, according to the Club 33 website.
“The required dress code for Le Grand Salon is business casual attire or a higher standard of dress which is appropriate for a fine dining experience,” according to the Club 33 website. “Out of courtesy, we ask everyone to remove their hats upon entry into Le Grand Salon.”
The Club 33 dress code is a little looser in the cocktail lounge than the fine dining restaurant.
Walking shorts, fitted t-shirts and dressy sandals are permitted under the dress code for Le Salon Nouveau lounge, according to the Club 33 website.
The lounge dress code is “smart casual attire that reflects an elegant yet relaxed style,” according to the Club 33 website.

Club 33 was inspired by the VIP lounges Walt Disney experienced at the 1964 New York World’s Fair where It’s a Small World and Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln first debuted. The private Disneyland club opened in May 1967, a few months after Disney’s death in December 1966.
Depending on the membership level, a Club 33 membership can cost between $12,500 and $30,000 a year after an initiation fee that can range from $25,000 to $100,000, according to Business Insider.
Tom Hanks, Christina Aguilera and Elton John — who all have professional Disney connections — are reportedly among the celebrity club members, according to Eater.
The second-story club takes its numerical name from its New Orleans Square address: 33 Royal St. Club 33 was famously the only place alcohol was served in Disneyland before Oga’s Cantina opened in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in 2019. New Orleans Square neighbor Blue Bayou began serving alcohol in 2021 and other in-park locations have since added booze.
