Hi there, Jenny. Welcome back! I'm so happy you found some useful advice and I'm always glad to share some additional insight as you continue planning your upcoming visit.
I'm so sorry to hear that you weren't able to find availability for the premium
Fantasmic! Dining Package at Blue Bayou Restaurant. These dining reservations can be hard to come by since this is such a popular experience for Guests visiting the Disneyland Resort. But, never say never, because you'll be surprised how often dining availability can change when Guests modify or cancel their plans, which often frees up the reservation inventory. In the past, I have been able to secure dining reservations in the short days leading up to my arrival date, so don't lose hope and keep checking the
dining reservations search tool. I'll be wishing on an evening star that the perfect dining reservation makes its way to you for your daughter's birthday celebration!
Now, Jenny, another option is to use the
Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability feature within the
Disneyland mobile app. This will list any same-day availability for select dining locations, including Blue Bayou Restaurant. Now, I can't promise that using the Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability list will grant you access to the Fantasmic! reserved viewing area, but it is certainly worth inquiring with the Cast Members when you arrive at the restaurant. If
Blue Bayou Restaurant is on your wishlist, this is one promising option to experience this unique table service dining location along the waters of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. And, don't forget to check the
Hours & Entertainment Schedule for all the information about
Fantasmic! showtimes during your visit.
Jenny, I hope these recommendations offer a helpful set of next steps as your preparations come together for this very special birthday celebration. We're always happy to play a small part in your family's magical memories and I'm honored you came back to
planDisney with this question. You're always welcome to share other planning questions with us if we can help with anything else along the way.
Blue Skies and Sunshine,
Tishra
