1901

Located on the side of Carthay Circle's entrance is 1901, a private lounge located in Disney's California Adventure. Named because Walt Disney himself was born December 1901! Love it! Walking in you're immediately transported back in time to the 30's with comfy couches, a stunning bar and a lounge with grand piano. Its always cozy, casual and fun. Their attention to detail is impeccable and im always finding something new on the walls. So much art, history and even hidden mickeys! For the food, I always always get the rose soda. Bubbly, sweet and always hits the spot. I'm also biased because I'm vietnamese & from texas' best taco city (austin) so my favorite dish here is the Vietnamese Twice Cooked Beef Tacos!

Such a great experience. The cast members were all amazing. Food was amazing, I'm still thinking about it.

Amazing service!! Great food and Drinks are top notch .Several seating available, comfy couches and chairs. We had a group of 24 people and there was still space available for other people to enjoy comfortably

Beautiful, classy 1930s Hollywood style, excellent service, great food & drinks. There is an extensive drink menu, food are small bites you can share. We enjoyed the salmon (fresh & tender), beef skewers with a side of rice (great flavor), salad (simple yet refreshing with lots of fruit) and pumpkin sundae (so delicious, pumpkin ice cream & pumpkin pound cake in the middle). It gets busy on the weekends and holidays, its first come first serve. We arrived at 12p and the restaurant was full, they text you when seats are available. We came back around 1:30p.

Celebrated my birthday at Club 33 earlier in the day and decided to drop into 1901 to end my night. It was definitely worth it since it's the only place in the park that sells alcohol. ;D The appetizers and drinks hit the spot. Perfect to share!

Oh my gosh....... this place is amazing!Somehow I was able to sneak into this place. This is a member's only lounge hidden in the lounge area of Carthay Circle. I thought I loved Carthay Circle, but that is before i experienced 1901. I love all things Disney. Take time to a place that highlights Classic Disney and I'm truly in love. This lounge is completely filled with all things Walt Disney. Framed photo after photo gives you insight into the professional life of the legend Walt Disney. Photos take you into the studio where he and his team were animating Mickey and his friends. Looking around the lounge, you can also see some artifacts and remnants of Disney history. There are chairs and tables in different arrangements in the two rooms of the lounge. You can order any drink from the regular Carthay Circle Lounge menu. There are a few seasonal drinks specific for 1901 as well. There is a full bar so you could basically have almost any drink you could want. There is a lounge menu with some different food options specific to 1901 as well. This is not a restaurant, so there aren't full meals available. The lounge is relaxed and comfortable. The staff inside the lounge are extremely attentive and friendly. They really make you feel welcomed. It was an amazing experience and I would absolutely love to return again someday..... if I'm lucky enough.

Exclusivity is good in more ways than one. 1901, named after Walt Disney's birth year is a quaint lounge, tucked away from the masses behind a nondescript door in California Adventure. Upon entering, you are greeted by staff, who will most likely know you by name. Once you leave the foyer and enter the main room, you are greeted by a warm atmosphere that's filled with lounge chairs, Mickey toys on the wall, pictures of the early Disney years, a fireplace, and a piano in the corner, gently playing the classical rendition of Beauty and the Beast. The seasonal menu is short and sweet. For winter cocktails, I highly recommend the grasshopper and the Caribbean coffee. If you're into the sweeter things in life, the grasshopper is your choice with crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and fresh heavy creme. If you'd like to be warmed up from head to toe, the Caribbean coffee will gladly assist with its 15 year Demerara rum, petit canne syrup, fresh roasted coffee, and fresh heavy cream. For lunch, you can't go wrong with the wagyu sliders or the Spanish roasted cauliflower. Not a big fan of the spring rolls however. Kick back, relax, then get back out there and enjoy the rides!

Just another visit to the park was what I had intended when I walked through the gates of DCA with my friends. But they had something special in mind that evening. Aside from riding Tower of Terror and Radiator Springs Racers with me, we were going to have drinks at 1901. For those of you who aren't aware, there's a members only lounge at DCA next to Carthay Circle called 1901. Entrance to 1901 depends on what level of Club 33 membership you have. I won't go into details since I don't particularly know but let's just say it's expensive. The interior is splendidly decorated with photographs of Walt Disney. There's plenty of Disney memorabilia adorning the walls. The lavish chairs beckon you to sit in them. My favorites were the directors chairs with Walt, Lillian, Roy, and Edna Disney's name on them. The spherical ice machine is a marvel. They demonstrated it for me and it was awesome. Check out the hallway with "Walt's ghost" which appears periodically. Thank you so much to the member who walked us in. Members can bring up to 4 guests but they must be present with their guests the entire time they are there. The lounge is relaxing to be sure but the menu is exactly the same to what is next door at Carthay Circle. There is no dress code for 1901. The cool factor was that we had the entire place to ourselves. Thanks to our bartender, Shane, for excellent service. We sat and chatted and were never rushed. The lounge is quiet and is a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of the parks.

It's exclusive, yes, but it's not a pretentious place to enjoy a light meal and an adult beverage or two. You don't feel like you need to dress up when visiting 1901 and everyone, including the patrons, have always been so friendly!Try the tacos: little, crispy, mouthfuls of tasty goodness! I've sampled a few dishes and found them all to be excellent, but the tacos...yummy!Ask for complimentary finger foods to snack on. There's an assortment of roasted peppers, olives, nuts and other various bite-sized tastebud pleasers to enjoy.I absolutely love the live music. There is a regular group (guitar, bass, and percussion trio) that really sets a classy, nostalgic, tone for the club (it's not all the time, but when they are there it's wonderful). If you can get into 1901 with a Club 33 member, jump at the opportunity. It's a great place to hang out and meet some new friends.Yelp 100 Challenge 2017: 3 of 100!How about some sexy pics:

My first time dining here and we had the wagyu beef sliders, flatbread, artichoke hummus tacos along with our cocktails. Delicious and an awesome dining experience.
