Hanging out in secretive Club 33

It just seemed natural to me when I was writing Backstage Disneyland that the Disney characters would hang out after work at the secretive Club 33. Because Club 33 is the only place that serves alcohol in Disneyland, it serves as the local water hole throughout the book.


It was easy enough to envision a raucous, collegiate scene with all the characters playing drinking games, singing pub songs and acting out scenes from their movies. I needed to come up with some action to surround the main characters in the scene - Indiana Jones, Darth Vader, Mickey Mouse and Buzz Lightyear - who were essentially sitting around a table hatching an evil plan.


Club 33 ended up being a high-testosterone boys club. The girls get their own hangout in the next chapter.
