Hi Brenda! I'm so glad you brought us a question to planDisney, especially one about
Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts' Nite which is one of my favorite after-hours events at Disneyland Resort!
Like a true foodie-at-heart, I love scoping out the dining options in advance of my visit and it sounds like you do too! I just reviewed the hours for
Blue Bayou Restaurant currently listed for each of the seven dates for the Sweethearts' Nite event. It looks like this dining location is open for lunch from 11:00 a.m. to 3:55 p.m. and for dinner from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m on the event dates. So, unfortunately, Blue Bayou Restaurant will not be available late into the evening during Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts' Nite. However, your special event ticket allows you entry to Disneyland Park starting at 6:00 p.m., so if dining at Blue Bayou Restaurant is a high priority for you, it may still be possible to
secure a dining reservation within that window of time or to use the
Mobile Dine Walk-Up list when you enter Disneyland Park. Walk-up availability is subject to availability, but it's worth a try and you never know when luck will strike!
To use the mobile walk-up list, you can
check for availability at Blue Bayou Restaurant or other participating dining locations in the
Disneyland mobile app or scan the QR code that will be posted near the restaurant using your smartphone. This will allow you to add the number of guests in your party and any information about dietary needs that the culinary team should know about.
I'm wishing on a second star to the right that you'll be able to enjoy an unforgettable meal under the glow of the fireflies at Blue Bayou Restaurant, Brenda! Either way, I hope you'll still savor some of the themed treats and menu items created especially for Disneyland After Dark: Sweethearts' Nite! I know I'm keeping my eye on the
Disney Parks Blog to see when those menus and the Valentine's Day
Foodie Guide might be announced! Please feel welcome to
send another question to me or to my fellow panelists here at planDisney. We love helping guests make the most of their Disney vacation plans!
To celebrating love and friendship in the Happiest Place on Earth,
Tishra
