More Thsn A Walk in the Park

 There are many well-kept secrets inside the gates of the happiest places on earth. Perhaps the best-known of these is Club 33, the secret spot that costs $25,000-30,000 a year just to join and then $10,000 plus every year after. The food, china, drinks and world-class service keeps people coming back for more.

Legend has it that the park, at 1313 Harbor Blvd, wouldn't have been built without approval of the original 33 members who voted to continue construction and build Walt's apartment above Club 33.

Park visitors can access Disneyland and visit secret walkways where the Beast roars at you from a door handle. As Teráh Chieffi the points guy tells us, the castle holds secrets we can only imagine and used to be home to Snow White. Now it's where you go for photos with your favorite princess. Of course, because it's a Disney property, your princess can't have a beard. Disney staffers have been dismissed for things like facial hair.

If you're an East Coaster, you're more likely to head to Disney World because of geographic factors but be prepared for serious walking in sticky humidity. You'll see some of the same rides but Disneyland and CA Adventure are much more walkable. Jump on a monorail and if you park smart, it's free. Visit blog spot.com for easy ways to get around the park. I'll be on the white horse.

FastPass lets you cut the line and if the Disney Imageneers put the power of Artificial Intelligence to work, you could be on your ride even faster than you expected. Gone are the days when you could get a free shoppers pass and visit the park, rides and all, for free. Your. redit card got imprinted and you simply returned within 59 minutes. 

Dreams do come true for children of all ages at these magical theme parks.
