From one Illinois resident to another, welcome to planDisney Julea!
My family loves to dine at
Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland Park. Not only is the food delicious, but you cannot beat the ambiance and watching the Pirates of the Caribbean boats float by!
Securing a
dining reservation for Blue Bayou Restaurant can be tricky since it is such a popular restaurant! However, I did chat with a Cast Member, and they let me know that they are unsure if Blue Bayou Restaurant will be open during
Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite. Dining reservations do not always open up 60 days in advance, so my advice would be to keep checking! As the event gets closer, I'm hoping there's clarity for you so you can plan your evening accordingly.
Even if dining reservations are not available, I always like to check the
Disneyland app to see if there is
mobile dine walk-up availability for some of my favorite table service restaurants. If there is, you'll be able to see the current availability with wait times at select table service restaurants, and you can add yourself to the walk-up list. I also always check for dining reservations even the day before my trip! Plans change for Guests all the time, and I've had luck with securing last minute dining reservations prior to my trips.
I'm sending you all of the pixie dust that you're able to secure your dining reservation, Julea! I'm happy to help answer any other planning questions you may have, so
please come back to planDisney and ask.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
