Hi Angela, welcome to planDisney!
I have good news!
Pirates of the Caribbean is closed for refurbishment through June 30, 2022, and should be open after then! This attraction is a fan favorite that’s for sure. So it'll be ready when you arrive on July 18, 2022, exciting right?
Now on to
Blue Bayou Restaurant. There has not been any official announcement yet on when the restaurant will reopen. It's been closed for refurbishment since April 21, 2022. BUT, some sleuthing has been done, and if you look at the
Disneyland Resort Daily Calendar for June 23, 2022, you'll see Blue Bayou Restaurant on the Closed for Refurbishment schedule. HOWEVER, if you look at the
Disneyland Resort Daily Calendar for June 24, 2022, Blue Bayou Restaurant is no longer on the Closed for Refurbishment schedule. Now please know that nothing has been announced or confirmed yet regarding its return, this is all speculation. I would continue to monitor the
Blue Bayou Restaurant page, along with the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest information!
And you chose a great time to visit The Happiest Place on Earth, as many beloved experiences have returned! For starters, the traditional character meet and greets are back, meaning Mickey and all his Pals are ready to give out the biggest hugs and sign your autograph books! And that's not all,
The Main Street Electrical Parade and
Disneyland Forever fireworks at Disneyland Park, and
World of Color at Disney California Adventure Park have all returned as well!
See ya real soon!
