NEWS: Blue Bayou Has Reopened for Walk-Ins in Disneyland

When it comes to Disney parks, things are always being changed and updated for better guest experiences.

Sometimes an attraction or dining location can close unexpectedly, but then reopen a short time later, while other times a lengthy refurbishment is what’s on the menu. Over in Disneyland, Pirates of the Caribbean has been closed for renovations, and the attached restaurant, Blue Bayou, was impacted by the closure. We weren’t too sure when we might be able to dine at this eatery again, although we had guessed it might be later this month. But now, it looks like Blue Bayou is open once again!

Dining in Disneyland can be an exciting experience in and of itself — all rides aside. But, when an attraction and a dining location meet it’s a magical experience. Guests can once again dine amongst soft twinkling lights and the swampy banks of Pirates of the Caribbean — because Blue Bayou has reopened!

This fan-favorite dining location had been closed since late April due to the ongoing refurbishment of Pirates of the Caribbean. Disney Parks shared the news on their Twitter page.
