That's true, but it is also named for 33 Royal St, New Orleans, LA 70130, I know someone who has actually been there a handful of times. I know it's an expensive membership but I don't really know how elite it actually goes other than that.
Maybe there is a connection somewhere with Royal Street, 33 could also be the sponsors Walt had. I'll try looking into the location with Royal Street and digging around the web for anything about the membership. It says Celebs and even former Presidents might be spotted there sometimes. Now that's pretty curious. If it was originally just intended for those who contributed, maybe that's where their "corruption" was, but now it looks pretty open to anyone really..but I don't doubt that there's something terrible behind the Disney name at all, especially with TV shows.
"Open since 1967, the club costs $10,000 a year and has a $25,000 initiation fee per person. The steep price tag is mere pocket change for a whale, though, and when Disney opened up 100 new memberships last Spring, there was an 800-person waiting list."
All I'm saying is this has been going on a LONG time and as someone who lives close to Disneyland, I know people that have reached new levels of obsession where it wouldn't be strange at all for that type of behavior. The person I do know who goes, probably goes to Disneyland almost every single day, worked there, and has been lucky enough to eat there out the "goodness of other people"
BUT, I would agree that there is something to look into with it, but it's really hard to find anything about Disney pertaining to this. There is very little about Walt's freemasonry and talks about how he wasn't really that involved with it. I would agree that there has to be some type of other benefit that isn't listed for members that they know well.
Does he go there as a guest with a member? I doubt even all members know what might be going on. Some of them might just be huge Disney fans who also have a bottomless wallet, or they own a business and want to wow clients by bringing them there to eat (in which case, the membership fee might be tax deductible)
Yeah I'm feeling that there's just some deal that is made if it's someone who contributes to the brand or something like that. The last post I had seen about it, she ate alone after going up with him, then just blogged about how nice it was inside. It's really surprising that this It's A Small World incident happened, it's pretty hard to find things like this about them.

33 is the top level of Scottish Rite freemasonry. I'm sure it's an elite society of some kind.

Nobody pays a fuckton of money just to eat a dinner in a Disneyland restaurant.
