PHOTOS: Club 33 Logo Installed at Catwalk Bar at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

We discovered construction walls up at the entrance to the former Catwalk Bar behind The Hollywood Brown Derby. We expected this to be the announced Club 33 location in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, finally confirming this when the trademark bell was installed a few weeks ago. The touchpoint below the doorbell now sports the Club 33 logo, make my the unannounced lounge no longer a secret as of today:

The intercom and doorbell will lead to the old Catwalk Bar upstairs.

This marks the first time that the Club 33 logo has been seen publicly.

Walt Disney World plans to open a Club 33 location in each of the four theme parks, though they are yet to confirm any of those locations as of yet. The rumored locations include the Adventureland Veranda at the Magic Kingdom, the upstairs lounge at the American Adventure in Epcot (nearly confirmed with our past post), the former Catwalk Bar at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (now confirmed here), and a still yet to be decided location at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. Memberships are currently being sold to Golden Oak residents only.

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
