Greetings, Thomas! I'm so glad you stopped by planDisney and I'll be happy to share some advice about planning for your Disneyland Resort dining reservations.
I'm so sorry you've run into some trouble in booking your preferred dining location,
Blue Bayou Restaurant. I know what it's like to be ready when the 60-day booking window opens in advance of your visit, and find that there is limited availability for the dining experience you have your eye on! I do want to encourage you to keep trying, though. Occasionally,
dining reservations will become periodically available or Guests will change their plans and cancel a reservation which can free up reservation availability in the system. I've even had great luck checking for dining reservations a day or two prior, so you never know when that evening star will grant your wish!
Alternatively, I have another option for you. Have you heard of the
Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability? You can use the
official Disneyland mobile app to join the walk-up list of select table service dining locations around Disneyland Resort. Or, you can visit the dining location of your choice and see if they have a posted QR code, which can be scanned with your mobile device to join the walk-up list. Sometimes even the walk-up list can fill up quickly, so if you really have your heart set on dining at Blue Bayou Restaurant, or other table service locations, I suggest keeping a close eye on the Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability throughout the day.
Thomas, I hope this is helpful and that you are able to secure the dining reservation of your dreams at Blue Bayou Restaurant.
New Orleans Square is brimming with Louisiana-inspired flavors, sights, and sounds, so even if you opt for a different dining location, you are sure to be in for a treat! If we can lend a hand with any other recommendations or suggestions for your upcoming visit, please don't hesitate to reach out to
planDisney again. We'd love to help!
Blue Skies and Sunshine,
Tishra
