Couple Kicked Out of Disneyland's Exclusive Club 33 Lose Legal Fight for Reinstatement

Background

Club 33 is an exclusive club located in Disneyland Park, Anaheim, California. It is known for its high level of service and upscale dining. In 2017, a couple was kicked out of the club for allegedly violating its dress code.

Legal Battle

The couple filed a lawsuit against Disneyland, claiming that they were wrongfully ejected from the club and that their First Amendment rights had been violated. The case went to trial in 2020.

Court Ruling

In a ruling issued on August 15, 2023, the court ruled in favor of Disneyland. The judge found that the club had a legitimate interest in enforcing its dress code and that the couple's First Amendment rights had not been violated.

Analysis

The court's ruling is a significant victory for Disneyland. It sets a precedent for other businesses to enforce their dress codes without fear of legal challenges.

The case also highlights the importance of following the rules when visiting private property. Even in public places, businesses have the right to set and enforce their own rules.

What's Next?

It is unclear whether the couple will appeal the court's ruling. However, the ruling is likely to have a lasting impact on the legal landscape surrounding private property rights and First Amendment protections.
