Only a select few have access to Disney's iconic Club 33. Situated in Disneyland California on New Orleans Street, this members-only club has long remained a mystery to those not on the exclusive guestlist, which boasts an impressive host of A-list names including Elton John, Tom Hanks and Matt Damon. However, one member has decided to give fans a sneak peek behind the club's iconic doors, revealing everything from what the jazz lounge looks like to sharing some of the dishes available on the menu. Preferring to remain anonymous, they've simply nicknamed themselves 'Disneyland Club 33 Member' and taken to Instagram to share their secrets.

With access to everything from luxury accommodation to terraces with views of the park, members can also enjoy a spot of jazz in the stunning Le Salon Nouveau, which boasts a grand piano and impressive decorations such as animated paintings which change into different pictures throughout the course of the day. Fine dining is on the menu with everything from mouth-watering mains to decadent desserts, served up on beautifully decorated tables that even feature napkins folded to look like Mickey Mouse ears!

Thinking of signing up? According to reports, even on the waiting list you may not be granted membership for at least a couple of years. Becoming a member is no budget-friendly affair; basic membership is rumoured to cost just £20,000 to join, not to mention a following £10,000 every year!

The 1901 bar includes a series of impressive artefacts from Disney's various projects – including pieces owned by Walt himself! "Wall in 1901," writes the member. "I was told these are actual items from Walt's office."

The artwork comes to life in Club 33, with paintings actually being animations that change throughout the day, so no visit will look the same… "Another piece that slowly changes," writes the member alongside a picture of what appears to be the iconic ship from Peter Pan. "Again, I won't say exactly how so you can see for yourself when you go!"
