An Arizona couple say they have spent $400,000 in legal fees trying to regain membership to Disney’s exclusive Club 33 after being booted out seven years ago — only to lose the case this month.
Club 33 is an invite-only private dining members club that reportedly costs $31,500 a year and has, at times, had a waiting list of up to 14 years.
In an interview with the LA Times, Scott and Diana Anderson explained that they were spending close to $125,000 annually to be members of Club 33 at Disneyland and visit Disney’s two parks in California.
In September 2017, a security guard for Disney’s California Adventure Park filled out a report saying that one of its members, Scott Anderson, was “heavily under the influence,” according to court documents viewed by Business Insider.
Per the court documents, the guard said that Anderson was “hunched over and slurred his responses” and fell when trying to stand up.
Following the incident, the general manager of Club 33 terminated Anderson and his wife’s membership account.
Mr Anderson responded to the allegation with a letter that said he was incapacitated “from a severe allergy attack, a medical condition that disabled me to the point where I was in great physical pain and distress,” the court documents said.
He added that he had been drinking that day but did not consume an “unreasonable amount.”
Since then, the Andersons have been doing all they can to get back into the club.
Not giving up
Mr Anderson told the LA Times that the cost of the lawsuit has set his retirement plans back five years.
But this hasn’t stopped the pair from pursuing their dream to one day return to Club 33.
Mrs Anderson told the newspaper she would sell a kidney to be granted access to the exclusive hangout spot again.
“There is no way we’re letting this go,” Mr Anderson told the LA Times.
Business Insider contacted Disney for comment but didn’t immediately hear back. The Andersons’ lawyer was also not immediately available to comment.
