Description:
The longest line at Disneyland is for an attraction that isn't on the map and most visitors never get to see it. But if you've got $9,500 and the five-year waiting list doesn't scare you off, you can join Mickey Mouse's ultra-exclusive club, the secret spot where the Magic Kingdom welcomes real kings.

Somewhere near Pirates of the Caribbean, in the heart of New Orleans Square, is the hidden doorbell to Club 33, a members-only restaurant reminiscent of a Prohibition-era speakeasy. Here, Elton John might come in and tickle the keys of an antique harpsichord. Since its opening, Club 33 has reportedly welcomed King Hussein of Jordan, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco, President Reagan, Cher and Michael Jackson.

When Walt Disney made plans for the club in the early 1960s, he intended Club 33 to entertain corporate sponsors and address special adults-only events. Decorated in a 19th century French style, it remains the only place in the park where you can sip a single-malt scotch with your meal.

Club 33's kitchen was supposed to be shared by a secret apartment for the Disney family, but Walt passed away in 1965, two years before the hideaway was completed.

Nowadays, the list of 450 paying members is strictly confidential, although each member gets fancy matchbooks inscribed with his or her name, consider it the most expensive souvenir that you won't see at a Disney gift shop. (Buck Wolf)
