Why, hello there again, Ekaterina! Welcome back to planDisney with another great question for us.
I’m delighted to see you’ll be celebrating your Champagne Birthday at the end of the month at the Happiest Place on Earth! Disneyland Resort is also celebrating its 70th anniversary and it’ll be in full swing during your visit. The theme is “Celebrate Happy” and it’s so fitting you’ll be happily celebrating your 29th birthday there.
My Panelist pal Cody gave you some amazing restaurant
suggestions in his response to you and I’m so glad you’re planning on dining at the
Blue Bayou Restaurant. My family and I enjoy dining here and we love the unique ambiance while watching Guests on the
Pirates of the Caribbean attraction sail by.
I’m sorry to hear that you were unable to secure
advance dining reservations for the day you plan to visit. People’s plans can change so I recommend checking back periodically since spots may *magically* become available. And if this method doesn’t work out, you can try adding yourselves to the
walk-up list at Blue Bayou Restaurant. This can be done on the
Disneyland mobile app when you’re in Disneyland Park. If you’re open to dining at an off-peak time, I recommend joining the Walk-Up List as soon as it becomes available on the day of your visit. This will increase your chance of getting a table, since Walk-Up List can close when it has reached capacity.
I hope this is helpful as you continue to plan your birthday celebration. Cheers to you, Ekaterina!
Sending you pixie dust,
Kiki
