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.

There has to be more to the story. I know a few people who got hammered at the drinks around the world thing and all that happened was security made sure they got back to their room safely.

It sounds like there’s a specific clause for members of Club 33. I suspect it goes back to Walt’s old bans on alcohol in the parks.
