Hi there, Jana!
Welcome to planDisney! I try to maximize my time when visiting Disneyland Resort, which is one of the reasons that I reserve a
Fantasmic! Dining Package during most of my family's trips to "The Happiest Place on Earth". It is a great way to enjoy a delicious meal and watch Fantasmic!.
Some of my family members love the Monte Cristo at
Blue Bayou Restaurant, and I understand wanting to order it! I have had mixed experiences when requesting an item not on the Dining Package menu. I suggest asking the Cast Member serving your table if you can order it. Since it is usually offered on the lunch menu, try reserving a lunchtime Dining Package to increase your odds of being able to order that delicious sandwich.
If you cannot order the Monte Cristo during your Dining Package meal, you may want to get a reservation at
Cafe Orleans for a different day. They often have at least one Monte Cristo Sandwich on their menu, such as the Battered & Fried Triple Cheese Monte Cristo Sandwich. It is made with Brie, Swiss, and Mozzarella cheeses, plus seasonal preserves. It is delicious!
It looks like you will be visiting during
Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort! This spooktacular time of year is filled with extra fun for the entire family. Two of my favorite attractions usually receive fantastic seasonal updates during Halloween Time:
Haunted Mansion Holiday and
Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark. You may also be interested in purchasing tickets for
Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party (if tickets are still available). With the fantastic
Frightfully Fun Parade, fun trick-or-treat trails, and low wait times for attractions in Disney California Adventure Park, Oogie Boogie Bash is my family's favorite After Hours Event at Disneyland Resort.
Jana, have a wickedly good time at Disneyland Resort! We hope to see you real soon!
Have a frightfully fun trip!
Jen
