Hi there, Francis. Welcome to planDisney.
I’m sorry to hEAR you’ve been having trouble making dining reservations for your upcoming trip to the
Happiest Place on Earth on New Year’s Eve. It’s a very popular time to visit the parks, especially with “
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort” underway.
Dining reservations at Disneyland Resort are booked up quickly, especially at popular establishments like Blue Bayou Restaurant and Lamplight Lounge. I recommend checking frequently on
Disneyland mobile app or
Disneyland.com for occasional openings (if other Guests cancel or modify their dining reservations).
Otherwise, you can try to join the walk-up list when you’re at the theme parks. On a trip with my fellow Panelist friends, we didn’t have a dining reservation for Blue Bayou Restaurant; we asked to join the walk-up list and were able to be seated after just a brief wait. If available, you can also join the walk-up list of select table service restaurants on the Disneyland mobile app. My other suggestion would be to check during “off-peak” times when the restaurant may be less busy.
I hope this helps, Francis. If you have more questions for us, please don’t hesitate to
visit us again soon!
Sending you pixie dusts,
Kiki
