Hi Chloe! Welcome to planDisney and thanks so much for asking this question! I'm happy to hear that you are planning a visit to The Happiest Place on Earth!
As a foodie, I know what it's like to want to plan for great meals and make
advanced dining reservations! I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with booking a reservation for
Blue Bayou Restaurant. While reservations may be available when they are released, they might also be limited and are booked rather quickly. If you are not seeing any reservations for your preferred party size, date, and time, it is likely they have been completely booked. I would recommend checking the
Disneyland app periodically to see if any availability opens up due to cancellations.
If you love the ambiance of New Orleans Square, I would suggest considering
Cafe Orleans as a dining option. The Monte Cristo sandwich with Pommes Frites is delicious and you can get unlimited refills of Mint Juleps! If this isn't what you would prefer, there are many
dining options at both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park! If you are open to an option outside of theme parks,
Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen is located at the
Downtown Disney District and is one of my personal favorites!
I hope that as you are planning to Be Our Guest, you will find the reservations you are hoping for. Please visit us again at planDisney if we can answer other questions!
Happy Planning!
Lisa
