Hi Patti! Thanks for visiting planDisney.
Blue Bayou Restaurant in New Orleans Square at Disneyland Park is an iconic dining location, beloved for its immersive theming and tasty menu choices. Dining in perpetual twilight in the bayou is quite the experience! Because it is popular, it can be difficult to get a reservation. My advice is to continue to check
availability throughout the day. Consider making a reminder on your mobile device. People's plans change, which can result in a last-minute reservation becoming available.
If you don't find anything before you arrive, consider joining the "Walk-Up List," which you can access on the
Disneyland mobile app map. Change "Characters" to "Dining" at the top of the map and click on the Blue Bayou Restaurant icon to see if the Walk-Up List is currently available. Otherwise, there are other tasty choices in dining locations, including Quick Service spots that don't require a reservation.
Tiana's Palace is also located in New Orleans Square, and you don't need a reservation to sample Tiana's famous cooking. Try the House Gumbo. Plus, it's also a beautiful and immersive dining experience you're bound to enjoy.
Have a magical time!
Elizabeth
