Disney-obsessed couple lose lawsuit to get back into exclusive Club 33

www.latimes.com Disney-obsessed couple lose lawsuit to get back into exclusive Club 33

The club’s yearly dues were $31,500, and with travel and hotel expenses, the Arizona couple was spending close to $125,000 annually. Disney revoked their membership after an allegation that Scott Anderson was drunk in public.

The couple took over a decade to actually join the club, with annual dues of $31,500, but spending closer to $125,000 a year to visit the Anaheim parks. They were expelled from the club five years later when park security guards found the husband intoxicated in the park, a violation of club rules. The couple has since spent $400,000 suing to regain access to the club and ‘clear his reputation,’ claiming he was not drunk but suffering from a “vestibular migraine” which looks a lot like being drunk and can be triggered by red wine. They claim they were targeted for retaliation because they complained about a different club member harassing other club members and staff.

The couple plan to appeal.

Yes I will sell a kidney to keep suing this company that has more money than god for the privelege of (let me check my notes) paying them thousands of dollars per year to not get drunk in their fancy exclusive club

- Don’t build your identity off a relationship with a corporation.
  
  If your local country club kicks you out, at least you can appeal to the membership.

  In this case it seems they actually own their local country club:
  
  “My wife and I are both dead set that this is an absolute wrong, and we will fight this to the death,” Scott, who owns a golf course in Gilbert, Ariz., told The Times. “There is no way we’re letting this go.”

Besides a wealthy tithing Christian, what loser pays 100k a year to hang out in a place you can't drink or use profanity?

As an outsider who never heard of this case, I'm going to side heavily with the large corporation. If I can literally feel how insufferable this couple is, then imagine what it would be like to have to be around them for hours at a time. I'm utterly convinced that the guy was drunk, and that Disney made sure that they were on solid ground before punting these clowns.

- Insufferable couple vs insufferable corporation.

Fun fact: hypoglycemia mimics drunkenness, right down to the smell. Not sure about migraine. I used to suffer from them for days, and treated them with sunglasses in bed, when I had the luxury to do.

Honestly, if they end up dead and broke for their own stupidity, so be it. Natural selection should be more present nowadays, but modern society allows idiots like these to live.

There has to be more to the story. I know a few people who got hammered at the drinks around the world thing and all that happened was security made sure they got back to their room safely.

- It sounds like there’s a specific clause for members of Club 33. I suspect it goes back to Walt’s old bans on alcohol in the parks.
