The Andersons’ $400,000 battle with Disney over Club 33 membership

Living in Gilbert, Arizona, a couple spent $400,000 suing Disney after being banned from an exclusive park club known as Club 33.

The park claimed the husband was drunk in public, but he insisted it was a medical episode. The couple filed a lawsuit and recently lost the case.

“My wife has loved Disney all her life,” explained Scott Anderson of Gilbert, Arizona.

“Like any avid Disney fan, that’s the ultimate dream, to be a Club 33 member,” said his wife, Diana Anderson.

After saving for 20 years and being on a waiting list for a decade, the Andersons received an invitation to join Disney’s exclusive Club 33 in 2012.

“It was like four times more money than we thought it would be, and we thought, ‘Well, great’, but you know, this is our world right now,” said Scott Anderson.

“When we first joined, we were paying $10,000,” said Scott Anderson. “Today, that membership costs $32,000.”

But for them, it was worth it.

“We had so many amazing experiences,” said Scott Anderson. “We dined inside the Haunted Mansion.”

“You get a lot of perks,” said Diana Anderson.

It quickly became a place where they brought family, friends, and employees. The couple spent nearly $125,000 a year on Disney fun.

But it all ended in 2017 when Disney revoked their membership from the private club after an accusation that Scott Anderson was publicly intoxicated.

“I had two beers and a half glass of wine,” said Scott Anderson.

Reportedly, a security guard testified in court that they found him near the entrance of California Adventure showing signs of what they believed to be intoxication, and the club quickly ejected them.

However, according to Scott, Disney made the decision without breathalyzer results or a blood test and had no video of his behavior.

He believes the symptoms were caused by a medical condition triggered by red wine among the drinks he consumed that day.

“I was not drunk at all,” Diana Anderson affirmed.

“I wasn’t found drunk in the park,” said Scott Anderson. “I had a vestibular migraine in the park, which was horrible.”

Since then, they have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to regain their membership.

Last week, a jury in Orange County rejected their claim that Disney had improperly expelled them.

“I just hung my head,” said Scott Anderson.

The days of VIP experiences and exclusive Disney lounges are over.

According to the Los Angeles Times, a lawyer representing Disney said, “Club 33 membership guidelines forbid public intoxication; they didn’t want to pay the consequences after not following the rules.”

The Andersons believe that Club 33 took action against them because they had complained about a club member harassing other members and staff.

“We were targeted for that,” said Scott Anderson. “They wanted us gone.”

But the Superior Court judge restricted that line of evidence.

After spending $400,000 on the lawsuit, Scott Anderson said the case is not over.

“We will keep fighting,” he stated.
