Disney’s secretive Club 33 – and a couple’s $400k battle to get back in
Scott and Diana Anderson, both 60, spent 30 years trying to get into the elite £33,000-a-year club, which allowed them to rub shoulders with VIP guests in wood-panelled lounges.
Since gaining access in 2012, the pair had forked out around $124,000 a year to visit the Disney theme parks in Anaheim, California, up to 80 times annually.
But the couple’s fairytale lifestyle was brought to an abrupt end after they were banned from the members’ club in 2017 amid claims Mr Anderson had been drunk in public.
Determined to appeal against the decision, Mrs Anderson said: “I’ll sell a kidney.”
Well there we are, another story where I'm at a loss for something to say. Although I do appear to come across an increasing number of tales about baffling behaviour, it's possibly worth adding that.
I wonder how much she expects to get for the kidney? Avoid eBay is the only advice I can think of.

Wood panelled lounges, you say? Some people are easily pleased. I know average DIY-wallahs who can sort that for a lot less money.
Sam - and of course it would be Disney wood panelling. Probably better than wood-effect wallpaper, but it is the land of fantasy and illusion.
Yeah, Ebay is definately a buyers market, Kidneys are like 99p
Fools and their money, eh?
Decades ago we took our littlie to Disneyland. It was January so the crowd was mainly Canadians fleeing their winter. Very agreeable people to be among, the Canadians. Back then, at least.
Somehow I suspect that this couple would be less agreeable to rub shoulders with. What with being obsessive loonies.
(There's a Canadian joke in there for British obsessives.)
Dearieme, I bet you one C$ that I know what you are talking about.
And the loonie on this occasion is not Justin Trudeaux.
Bucko - and knowing it could be delivered by Royal Mail won't attract anyone who wants it quickly.
dearieme - maybe Canadians still are agreeable people to be among, but too agreeable to vote wisely.
