Hello Tisa! Welcome to planDisney!
Thank you for your question about
advance dining reservations for the dreamy
Blue Bayou Restaurant! This dining location is so special, with its perpetual twilight and views of those iconic Pirates of the Caribbean boats gliding by. I celebrated my 40th birthday at the Blue Bayou with my family and it's a memory I'll always cherish!
Let's get to your question! My recommendation to snag tough-to-get dining reservations, like the Blue Bayou, is for you to be logged into
your account on
the Disneyland website a few minutes before 6am PST, exactly 60 days out from the date you're wanting to visit - and make a wish! If you're already within 60 days of your visit, which you may be, Tisa,
keep checking for availability! I've been lucky enough to get a dining reservation all the way up to two hours before the time I was hoping for, especially at Blue Bayou. It's not guaranteed, but magic does happen sometimes!
Tip: At check-in for your dining reservation, let the host know that you would like a table by the water. While not guaranteed, Cast Members will do their very best to accommodate your request!
I hope this has been helpful for you in your planning, Tisa, and that you have so much fun immersed in the Disneyland magic. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to
reach out to us again anytime. We're happy to help!
Cheers,
McCayla
