Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Jaime!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for stopping by, and we are honored to answer your question as you continue to plan for your upcoming trip to the Disneyland Resort! We are so excited to be on your MAGICAL Planning Team!
I am so sorry you are having issues booking a
Disneyland Dining Reservation at
Blue Bayou Restaurant in
Disneyland Park. As you know, this is a VERY popular restaurant, and there are many Guests asking us this exact same question. Because Mickey Mouse and his pals want to keep every Guest as safe as possible, there is still limited capacity in all of the Disneyland Resort restaurants. When you compound restaurant capacity to the popularity of Blue Bayou Restaurant, finding a reservation can be very difficult.
However, do not give up so easily! I have some recommendations for you:
1. I would start checking for reservations again two weeks prior to your arrival to see if any have opened. As you know, schedules change all of the time, and Guests will begin canceling their reservations to avoid the cancellation fee. Since the Disneyland Dining Reservation System is dynamic, a canceled reservation means an open reservation for you...IMMEDIATELY! WOO HOO! I can tell you from personal experience, I have been able to book a reservation at several VERY popular restaurants a few days before my arrival!
2. You can always try to make same-day reservations. My recommendation would be to make your way to Blue Bayou Restaurant as soon as it opens to see if any walk-up reservations would be available that day.
OH, I am wishing upon a star you are able to book your reservation! If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask! We are here to help in any way!
Have a MAGICAL day!
Wes
