Hello, Barbara!
Thank you so much for visiting planDisney. I'm thrilled you brought this specific question because my friends and I have a story to share!
We had a team trip to the Disneyland Resort a few weeks ago, and we were hoping to eat at
Blue Bayou Restaurant, but we couldn't find any reservations through the app. But once we got to Disneyland Park, around 10:00 a.m., we went to the podium at the restaurant. We spoke to the Cast Members, and they found us a table for eight people at 11:15 a.m., which was perfect for our itinerary!
While this is not guaranteed, you may get some pixie dust as we got. So my best advice is to try and see what happens!
If you can't get a table at Blue Bayou Restaurant, I suggest ordering food at
Bengal Barbecue (I love to combine a
Bengal Rice Plate with extra skewers for a shareable meal) or heading to
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo if you like out of this world ambiance! You can use your Disneyland Mobile App for both orders, and it's going to be super convenient!
I hope this helps you create a fun trip, Barbara!
May the magic be with you,
Julie
