Disney-obsessed couple lose lawsuit to get back into exclusive Club 33 (www.latimes.com)

The couple took over a decade to actually join the club, with annual dues of $31,500, but spending closer to $125,000 a year to visit the Anaheim parks. They were expelled from the club five years later when park security guards found the husband intoxicated in the park, a violation of club rules. The couple has since spent $400,000 suing to regain access to the club and ‘clear his reputation,’ claiming he was not drunk but suffering from a “vestibular migraine” which looks a lot like being drunk and can be triggered by red wine. They claim they were targeted for retaliation because they complained about a different club member harassing other club members and staff.

The couple plan to appeal.

As an outsider who never heard of this case, I'm going to side heavily with the large corporation. If I can literally feel how insufferable this couple is, then imagine what it would be like to have to be around them for hours at a time. I'm utterly convinced that the guy was drunk, and that Disney made sure that they were on solid ground before punting these clowns.

Insufferable couple vs insufferable corporation.
