    I'd like to go to Blue Bayou for my 29th birthday on May 29! Currently there are no reservations, but if I come early in the morning right after park opening, will I be able to reserve a specific time for the dinner or it's first come, first serve?

    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!

Greetings! I have been fascinated by the magic of Disney since I was a little girl; now that I am a mother of two, I love watching my children experience Disney Parks through their own eyes. I am also surrounded by fellow Disney-loving nurse friends whom I enjoy quick adults-only Disneyland Resort escapes or Disney Cruise Line voyages with. Whether you are planning your once-in-a-lifetime family trip or a short adults-only getaway to the Happiest Place on Earth, I am here to help!
