Disneyland’s Blue Bayou Restaurant Review

BLUE BAYOU ATMOSPHERE AND AMBIANCE

THE MENU

Chicken Gumbo

Kids pasta meal

They also have the best drinks. You can get mint juleps at Blue Bayou or you can even get the 31 Royal Street Signature Julep which changes seasonally. When I got it last it was a citrus watermelon blend which was absolutely delicious! Make sure you check what the seasonal flavor is when you dine here.

You can make your own mint juleps at home with this recipe!

31 Royal Street Signature Julep
Louisiana Lemonade

8 layer chocolate and hazelnut cake

Just be aware, this restaurant is the most pricey in Disneyland so be prepared for a larger check as most entrees range from about $30-$60 each.

When purchasing your tickets through Disney, a few When purchasing your tickets through Disney, a few things you need to know before you purchase: 

1️⃣ How many days are you visiting, and do you need a single day ticket or a multi-day ticket? 
2️⃣ Single park per day or park hopper tickets? Park hoppers are more expensive, but offer more flexibility to switch between parks starting at 11 am.
3️⃣ Which park are you wanting to visit? You need to select which park you’ll be in for the day(s) of your ticket, and if you have a park hopper tickets, you’ll select which park you’ll start your morning in. 
4️⃣ Are you wanting to add lightning lane multipass to use lightning lanes and have shorter lines? You can add that to your ticket when purchasing which locks in the lowest price of $32 per ticket per day, or if you skip it but change your mind, you can always purchase multipass on the day of your visit. 5️⃣ If you cannot use your ticket, you cannot get a refund if you only purchase tickets. Try changing your dates and cancel your reservations and make new theme park reservations. If your tickets expire, see if you can apply the value of your tickets to new tickets. 
6️⃣ Single day tickets use a tiered ticket system. Each date has a tier assigned to it. If you have a single day ticket and need to change the date you visit, you must use your ticket on a date that is the same number tier or a lower tier. 
7️⃣ When you purchase your tickets through Disney, your theme park reservations are made at the same time when you select your dates.

Have you ever done the goat stare on Thunder Mount Have you ever done the goat stare on Thunder Mountain at Disneyland? 🐐

When you get to the top of the big hill, keep your eyes on Billy the goat holding dynamite in his mouth on your right. As you go around the curve, turn your body so you’re staring him down the whole time, this makes this corner feel way more intense and so much more fun! You’ll get the best results from the goat trick if you are in the very back of the train, row 15 is the pristine spot to do it! 

Tell me, do you do the goat stare or do you just ride normally?

There’s a lot of chat online about if Blue Bayou There’s a lot of chat online about if Blue Bayou is worth it or not, my opinion? I usually think it is.

I’ve been many times and have had lots of different dishes from steak, chicken, and lamb and I’ve enjoyed them all. My last visit I had prime rib which I did not like and did not think it was worth it and I would also pass on the assorted macarons, but overall, I like Blue Bayou. The ambiance alone is amazing , I highly recommend their chicken gumbo starter, as well as the creme brûlée tart if that is offered as a dessert!

Blue Bayou offers lunch and dinner, with slight variations to the menu based on what meal you have. Blue Bayou does serve alcohol and also offers a Fantasmic! dining package option that will get you reserved viewing for that nights show. These dining packages are only offered on dates Fantasmic is actually showing, and the seating area is front and center for the show. 

Blue Bayou is very popular and reservations can be hard to come by. You’ll want to be on the Disneyland app or website at 6 am pst 60 days before the date you want to visit to book your reservation, because they will book out in a matter of minutes. It is also much harder to get tables for large groups, so I recommend breaking your group into groups of 4 or less and book multiple tables using different Disney accounts. If you aren’t able to get a reservation, keep checking back as people may cancel their reservations, and if you still can’t get a reservation before your trip, head to the restaurant that morning or get on the Disneyland app to join the walk up list. It isn’t a guarantee, but it still gives you a chance to get in. 

If you have questions about Blue Bayou, or about getting reservations, drop them in the comments! And if you have tried Blue Bayou, tell me what you thought!
