It’s no surprise that “The Most Magical Place on Earth” and all its counterparts have attracted millions of visitors. Whether you trek to Disneyland, Disney World, Disney Vacation Club or anywhere in the Magic Kingdom, there will be no shortage of things to do.

There is also no shortage of expensive things at Disney, as the markups on themed sandwiches or mouse ears can get a bit exorbitant. That’s why it’s also attracting a more wealthy clientele, who are not as concerned with a tight budget and can go above and beyond fine dining on their next vacation. In fact, below are packages that a regular person probably can’t afford at Disney — but the wealthy can.
The 21 Royal Experience
This is probably one of Disney’s most expensive offerings, let alone for dining. Originally it was estimated that you would pay $15,000 for the privilege of dining here for up to 12 guests at the Anaheim, California location, in 2025, that estimate has jumped to $18,000. If you dined with the maximum allowance of 12 guests, that would be a whopping $1,500 per person
The 21 Royal experience is around five hours long and includes multiple courses and wine pairings. When guests arrive, they’ll be greeted by valets at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Then, a VIP escort will take them to the location above Royal Street in New Orleans Square.
Before dinner, you can explore the rooms with various Disney flair and enjoy cocktails served by professional butlers. At the end of the evening, you can enjoy dessert on the patio.

Private VIP Tour
Nobody wants to wade through crowds, but rich folks don’t have to. To get a unique and customized experience, VIP tours are where it’s at. Depending on your tour of choice, this will set you back around $450 to $900 per hour at Disney World, according to Disney’s website. The Disneyland VIP tours range from approximately $500 to $800 per hour.
These prices vary significantly based on the time of year and crowd levels, with peak seasons being more expensive. The tour price pays for a guide and accommodates up to 10 guests, but keep in mind that all participants must also purchase their own park admission. One of the main perks is that you’ll be able to bypass lines and receive assistance getting to and from the park.
To get the most out of the tour, guests are able to select their favorite attractions, what they’d like to do and the theme parks they want to head to throughout the day. The tour guide will customize an itinerary and even take you to enjoy backstage experiences.
Tours must be booked for seven to 10 hours, so this experience could set you back anywhere from $3,150 to $9,000. However, it doesn’t include theme park tickets or meals.
Club 33 Membership
Located in New Orleans Square at Disneyland, this is an exclusive members-only club that has a fine restaurant, private lounge and a view of Fantasmic! (fireworks show) from its balconies. If celebrities like Elton John, Tom Hanks and Christina Aguilera are members, you know it’s for the wealthy.
There’s not a whole lot of information on Disney’s official website about Club 33, but blogs like Disney Dose claim there is a waitlist of an average of four years to become a member. It’s rumored that the initiation fee is $30,000, with annual dues of $10,000.
What do you get with a membership? At the very least, you get annual passes and an elevated dining experience. Members aren’t allowed to share any part of their membership or even take photos of the club.
According to WDW Magazine, there are also other Club 33 locations in Tokyo and Shanghai. The Orlando location doesn’t have one per se, but it does offer several locations that replicate the experience of dining at Club 33. Some of these are the Spotlight Lounge, Constellation Club, Harambe House and Captain’s Quarters.
