Disney Sued Over Revoked Club 33 Memebership

84 years old Joseph Cosgrove who is a former member of the very exclusive Club 33 said his membership was revoked after a friend of his auctioned off a guest pass for a children’s charity. Disney Execs say that he misused his membership for years, so it was not the first incident.  What happened was, he had given a guest pass to a friend but she never used it for herself she chose to auction off the pass to benefit a children’s charity. According to Cosgrove he did not know what she did with the pass after he head given it to her. This is against Club 33 rules, according to Disney.

Cosgrove has been a member of the exclusive club for 47 years!

His attorney filed a lawsuit against The Walt Disney Co. recently in LA Superior Court. They are claiming breach of contract and a few other things.

In case you do not know, Club 33 is a very exclusive members-only club in Disneyland. It is modeled after the VIP lounges that Walt Disney experienced at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Not just anyone can become a member. Membership is extremely limited, some people have waited as long as a decade to become a member. If you should be lucky enough to get picked you must pay a $25,000 initiation fee and $11,000 and up in annual fees for use of the restaurant and lounge and other benefits.

Fun Fact: Cosgrove took his wife to the club on their first date.
