    Hi, We have reservations at the Blue Bayou restaurant. My daughter is a picky eater. If she orders something but doesn’t like it can she switch it for something else? Will I have to pay for both meals if so?

    Hi Jaime,

    Welcome back to planDisney—and thank you for continuing to trust us with your planning questions! It sounds like you have a magical Bayou adventure on the horizon. Dining with little ones is always its own kind of adventure, and I’d love to share a few of my Bayou secrets to help you steer clear of any choppy waters.

    Dining at Blue Bayou Restaurant is such a special experience. With lanterns glowing overhead, you truly feel like you're tucked away in a cozy corner of New Orleans Square. All the while, you’ll see boats quietly drifting by as guests set off on their Pirates of the Caribbean voyage.

    When dining with a selective eater, it’s always helpful to review the menu ahead of time to ensure a smooth experience. Here are the current kids’ entrée options at Blue Bayou:

    * Chicken Strips
    * Sautéed Shrimp
    * Whole-Grain Pasta

    Each kids’ meal includes your choice of a Small Low-fat Milk or Small DASANI® Water, along with your choice of two sides:

    * Steamed Vegetables
    * Steamed Rice
    *Mashed Potatoes
    * Seasonal Fruit

    There’s no strict policy regarding charges for replacing an entrée if your child doesn’t enjoy their first choice. Whether you’re charged for both meals or just the replacement is ultimately at the discretion of your server. In my personal experience, I haven’t been charged when my child needed a meal switch. Hopefully, one of these options will be a hit with your daughter, and you’ll all enjoy a meal as magical as the setting itself!

    I hope this helps, Jaime! If you have any more questions or need additional planning tips, feel free to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always here to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust on your vacation.

    Wishing you a smooth-sailing on your vacation!
