Hi there, Michael. Welcome to planDisney!
I’m happy to see you’ll be heading to the Happiest Place on Earth in early August. And I’m delighted to see you’re interested in dining at one of my favorite theme park eateries. It’s so neat to enjoy a meal within the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and seeing the boats sail by.
It’s a great idea and highly recommended to make
advanced dining reservations for
Blue Bayou Restaurant. This can be done on the Disneyland Resort website or the
Disneyland mobile app. Let me walk you through the process of making dining reservations on the website. Once you’re logged into your MyDisney account, hover your cursor over “Things to Do” and click on “Make Reservations” under the Dining tab. Click on your party size of 4, then the date you wish to reserve your dining. You can also choose multiple days to broaden your search; this is helpful if you’re doing several days at the parks. Follow the prompts and you can filter the search by theme park. Once you find the restaurant and time slot that suits you, you’ll then follow the instructions on how to pay your deposit and secure your reservation.
Blue Bayou Restaurant is one of the more popular, highly sought after dining locations at the Disneyland Resort. Dining reservations are open 60 days in advance and Blue Bayou Restaurant time slots are gone fairly quickly due to its popularity. However, you may be able to join the walk-up list when you’re in Disneyland Park. This can be done on the Disneyland mobile app. If and when Blue Bayou Restaurant is participating in the
mobile walk-up list, you can use the app to add your group to the list. Once your table is ready, you’ll receive notifications to proceed to a specific location for check-in. Your entire party will be seated at the same time so make sure everyone stays together.
I hope you’ll have a magical time on your upcoming visit to the Disneyland Resort. Please feel free to drop by
planDisney again if you have more questions for us.
Sending you pixie dust,
Kiki
