The American Idol Experience.

[@filipemota1999]

When I was a cast member I met Neil Patrick Harris and saw Kim Kardashian entering the ride. It was very interesting because we were not trained for those situations during regular training, so we had to learn as the celebrity was being brought into the ride. Usually the supervisors would be around or take over certain positions. Guest Services cast would also step in, and often times would start bossing us with no introduction. Fun times.

[@triton6127]

A friend of mine is a VIP guide and usually has NPH and his family when they're in town. I invited them to drinks once but they didn't show up 😂

I was with my friends in AK this spring and we saw Lin Manuel Miranda with his family walking through the park. He was wearing a hat and sunglasses and when we waved at him he made a shushing gesture but waved back and smiled. It was honestly so cool.

[@nellucthegreat]

That's really chill, that seems like a really fun interaction

[@MB-xl8nx]

Lin Manuel Miranda is a celebrity? Hardly! The man is an over hyped talentless Hack! Hamilton was an atrocity! Sorry, that was not a celebrity citing. Also, I have seen him in interviews and he is so full of himself. He thinks he has more talent than he does.

The one truth about Disney is there is ALWAYS a more exclusive and expensive experience to be had.

[@christopherstanko2847]

My mind is completely blown at the fact that Richard Nixon's infamous words were said at Disney.

[@MattMcIrvin]

He was less than a mile from his robotic duplicate. (In those days, the current President didn't have any lines in the Hall of Presidents show, so I believe robo-Nixon was only capable of nodding.)

[@rickymehigh]

Two years ago I saw Peter Jackson walking in California adventure without a VIP guide and couldn't believe it. Like literally one of three filmmakers who have become billionaires and no one around him to protect or guide him. My gf at the time and apparently everyone around us but me knew so I guess he didn't have too but still blew my mind haha.

[@928studiosinc06]

Story from my mom: She went to Walt Disney World when she was eight years old with her family, and while riding the Prince Charming Regal Carousel with my aunt and uncle (and I think my grandpa too), my grandma sat on the bench nearby watching. Suddenly, a bunch of men in suits were standing by her. They were secret service agents. Who was riding the carousel? Richard Nixon. It was after his presidency, but he was still a well known figure at that point, and still going to the parks. It's a cool story I've always loved hearing.

[@fifthrider]

I've had the good fortune to go to Club 33 numerous times. I've met way more celebrities outside of Club 33 than in it. I recall running into Diana Keaton at least twice, and even got stuck on a POTC boat with her and her kids for about 15 minutes while we waited for the ride to resume. One of my friends was in Michael Jackson's entourage, he was a backup dancer in Captain EO and later went on to be the male vocal lead in two sections of Fantasmic. Anyhow, he had crazy connections and got us into the Matterhorn and upper area of the Haunted Mansion once. It turns out MJ wasn't anywhere as nutty as people thought, he was more down to earth than tabloids ever let you know. Anyhow, the takeaway for me is it is WAY more fun to just be down in the park actually doing stuff than up in Club 33 looking outside and asking "We came all this way, aren't we going to DO something?" Also, there's got to be some amusing stories about celebs who made the list and those who didn't. Jean-Claude VanDamme is kind of famous for calling the park and asking for VIP tour and protection but being turned down. He had to arrive as a commoner. How upsetting. Meanwhile I've seen several A-listers just walking around like normal people and unless you knew how to look past their "street look" to see the celeb underneath the shaggy hair and greasy ballcap, you'd never know they were right there next to you.

[@redbaskett]

awesome stories and thank you for sharing. BTW is there any possible way to enter club 33 without having to fork up the money? It is my wife's dream to go there and I've always wanted to make it happen but it seems like its impossible without 1. knowing someone or 2. having the money. Thanks again!

[@fifthrider]

@@redbaskett My only way in was by knowing a member. He passed away.

[@redbaskett]

@fifthrider I see.. well may he rest in piece for being a kind person taking you in.

I never believed that Michael Jackson touched those boys. He wanted to give joy to these kids. He hated when his brothers brought girls around.

[@Peajay007]

I was at DL on the 60th we were in line for thunder mountain. We watch snoop and his kids go through the exit and get an entire train to themselves

[@nzjonty]

In the same day I saw Joe Rogan and Eric Bana at DL. Rogan was with a plaid but Eric was just chilling with his family in the regular queue for Smugglers Run. Love the low key Aussie vibe

[@joelouden6592]

My best friend and I were in line for Thunder Mountain at Disneyland in the early-80s when Chris Kristofferson got in line behind us, black t-shirt and all. He said "howdy, boys".

[@scottstabbert8498]

I was walking to the restroom by the castle at Disneyland and heard a familiar voice behind me. Turned around and it was Penn from Penn and Teller strolling 2 feet behind me eating a banana. Seemed nice, just had 1 cast member with him. Nick Cannon was there filming the Christmas Parade in early Nov one year. Diff situation because he was there actually working, but he was nice and took a picture between takes. Disney had cast members all around the filming area and the crowd warm up comedian with the mic talking between takes was an actual cast member, which was a surprise to me.

[@OhGeeWillickersMister]

Penn and Teller seem like cool guys! Penn a little weird and maybe cranky, but still fun to hang with. Lucky!

When I was like 13 I Saw Shaquille O'Neal at California Adventure. He was wearing a braided wig and he had a bunch of people gathered around him. At one point he admitted defeat, took the wig off and put it on his son. Kinda hard to hide when you're 7+ feet tall.

[@punker4Real]

he didn't fit on any of the rides

[@toddcribbs6844]

I got that treatment by a cast member one time I got to ride again because I actually gave that person a compliment one time before I went there and he remembered me and said stay on you're going to ride again

[@michaelleslieviola5743]

My family & I worked at WDW and played a key part scheduling & escorting many VIPs. Some of these VIPs require special treatment not because of their fame but due to security measures that need to be adhered to. Regardless, like the video states, anyone with the monetary means can receive special treatment.

[@mikecarroll9110]

I went on a roller coaster at Disney World in Orlando, and noticed behind me someone giggling because I was wearing a Kurt shilling shirt and a Boston Red Sox hat and someone behind me yelled “ Kurt sucks” and I turned around and It was Kurt Schilling and his daughter sitting 2 rows behind me, and they definitely didn’t wait in line with me. it was so cool, it was right after they won the World Series for the first time in forever think it was 2004. They definitely have their own passages on rides.

[@KatieGrady1997]

We love Justin Scarred. I believe he’s been able to check out the suites due to his friend, Bob Gurr. If you ask me, that’s cooler than any rockstar. ❤

[@avarice.karmageddon]

Former Disney Channel Stars like Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) and Hilary Duff (Lizzie McGuire) get free admission to the park with their families, VIP tour guides and Club 33 access. Hilary also told of a story where she got a bag of Minnie Ears for free. It's only available for current Disney Stars and those that made Disney a lot of money during their time as teen stardom in getting Disney billions of dollars. Some needed the protection because they would be mobbed by fans at the parks such as the stars of the OG High School Musical and Hannah Montana during the height of Disney Channel.

[@Jaheartsjonas]

I remember hearing Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical) talk about her experience as a Club 33 member on Conan once, and when Kevin Jonas (Jonas Brothers, Camp Rock) got married in 2009 he and his wife got to spend their honeymoon in the Cinderella Suite in the castle, so I believe that wholeheartedly

Or, they're Princess Diana and acts like a regular person who waits in line like everyone else.

[@onehorseopensleigh]

After N’Sync and before he competed on Dancing with the Stars, Joey Fatone rode an attraction at the Magic Kingdom and sneezed in my face at the boarding station. He didn’t cover his mouth and didn’t apologize; I’ve had a low opinion of him ever since. 😂

[@arfriedman4577]

Sorry that happened to you.

[@sparaz]

My grandparents had a club 33 membership since it opened up to about 10 years ago and we used to go few times a year when I was young. When I got older they used to let me take dates there on my own. The cool part is tickets to park are free and you just needed to pay for the meal. Had some good childhood memories there, but I think they just raised the prices too much for my grandparents to keep spending money on it.

[@zachpetsick4220]

If you are paying 40k upfront and 12k every year thereafter, park admittance better be included at a minimum.

[@sparaz]

@zachpetsick4220 yeah but they got stingy towards 2000 to 2014 slowly. They used to give free parking, let you bring in I think quite a few guests in (as lunch or dinner per person was often 1 to 2 hundred esp with alcohol. They downgraded bunch of that and basically shit on old school members. Some of the staff that worked there had seen my grandparents for decades and were sorry to see them go with such shitty treatment

[@zachpetsick4220]

@@sparazMy father-in-law’s nephew just had his club interview last month. He was on the waitlist for 8 years. He was accepted and made his upfront payment already. They were telling me last weekend that he has 50 guest passes per year. Apparently, members can make reservations for their guests and they don’t even have to be there with you.

Of course, since Universal Hollywood IS a REAL working studio, the presence of famous faces there is much less of a big deal. Many times while making TV shows at Universal and having a couple of hours break in our schedule, fellow crew members and I would just walk through the "backstage gates" of the theme park areas and enjoy ourselves in the park.

I have a bunch of questions about that Cinderella suite- when someone’s staying there, what’s stopping them from leaving and just being in the park at night? I assume they have to have a guard or something who watches all night, because you couldn’t exactly lock someone in the building in case of emergency. Like with hotels that are attached to parks like the ones at DCA that one at least makes sense, you lock the doors to the park because there’s other ones available.

[@ReviewTyme]

You need to take an elevator to get up to the suite, and there’s a little reception desk at the bottom. I imagine a security cast member is stationed here overnight to ensure they don’t enter the park but also keep an eye out for fires, etc.

[@3rdPlanetTravels]

I stayed at the Cinderella Suite as a part of a cast member sweepstakes.

[@leftfinned]

@@leftfinned it was magical for sure. The room itself isn't as big as you'd imagine. The coolest part of the room was the bathtub. Gold leaf tiles, with fiberoptic on the ceiling above it. The other cool part was the VIP tour guides that came with the room.

@@3rdPlanetTravels that’s super cool! I was a cast member at EPCOT the Living Seas (when it was still just the living seas lol) and won an award for carving our living seas pumpkin.

[@PaulAdler11]

I love this video

[@disneylandlux]

I have never seen a celebrity at Disneyland. We have done VIP tour three times but stopped because you can get on just as much and have a better paced day with Early Entry and LL and their restaurant reservation service was horrible so thankfully we had made our own reservations - they say it’s part of the service but don’t count on it. You get no multi pass if ride is down so you can’t come back later and ride it like you can with LL up until Park close. If fireworks are cancelled on your VIP day then they won’t let you come the next day to the area. You have to go 7 hours straight - no break in time. It’s not a worthwhile day - but for celebrities it’s a must of course. Also surprisingly not organized - the last time we did it they sent our guide to the wrong place and we called and it took so long. We started 1.5 hour late which messed with our day. Then at the time for World of color they would not even let us sit in empty benches in the area - they made us stand. So bad!!! I cannot stress how bad our last VIP tour was.

Also, the high profile, very publicly talked about act of inviting Nixon to his private rooms does not prove the Walt and Nixon were close. Clearly if they were very close it would have been more of a private thing not covered by media. It was a show because Nixon was V.P. and brought increased business.
