Club 33 Loses An Icon
Bonnye Lear worked as an integral leader for Club 33, which is a distinguished honor within the Disney community. Nestled in the heart of Disneyland Park, Club 33 stands as a beacon of exclusivity and luxury. This legendary establishment, originally designed as a VIP lounge for Walt Disney himself, has evolved into a prestigious private club shrouded in mystique and allure.
With its discreet entrance in New Orleans Square, Club 33 remains an enigmatic gem for those lucky enough to secure a coveted membership. Stepping into Club 33 is like entering a portal to a world of refined elegance and unparalleled sophistication.
The attention to detail in its decor, from the lavish furnishings to the ornate artwork adorning the walls, speaks volumes about the club’s dedication to providing a truly exceptional experience for its privileged members.
Bonnye Lear was personally responsible for so much of the magic that was made at this historic Disneyland Resort destination. Her loss will be greatly missed by the fans and cast members who benefitted from her greatness every day. Our thoughts are with her family and community as they recover from this devastating loss.
