Ahoy there, Monica. Thanks for sailing by planDisney with your dining reservation question!
Your question came at the perfect time, as my planDisney pals
Jenna,
Susan, and I just dined at
Blue Bayou Restaurant this week! There is nothing like the ambience at this dining location and dining within view of the
Pirates of the Caribbean boats is simply perfection. Monica, advanced dining reservations open 60 days in advance for most
Disneyland Resort restaurants. I checked the reservation calendar for Blue Bayou, and reservation dates are open up to the last week of August.
I recommend setting a calendar reminder for the first week of October and checking back often. I usually have luck securing reservations first thing in the morning, as soon as my desired date opens up. You can make dining reservations before you have
theme park tickets and a
theme park reservation. However, you must have both a ticket and a park reservation on the day of your dining reservation. Simply having a dining reservation will not grant you access to the theme parks.
Monica, I hope this helps plan a most magical visit. Please visit us again if you have any more questions!
Happy planning,
Melissa
