Blue Bayou Dining Package

About Blue Bayou Dining Package

The Blue Bayou Dining Package pairs one of Disneyland’s most legendary dining experiences with premium reserved viewing for Fantasmic!, the spectacular nighttime show on the Rivers of America. This is how you turn an already magical evening into something truly unforgettable.

Your meal takes place inside the Blue Bayou Restaurant, the iconic New Orleans Square destination where you dine under a perpetual twilight sky as boats from Pirates of the Caribbean drift past your table. The atmospheric setting — complete with fireflies, hanging lanterns, and the sounds of the bayou — has been a Disneyland classic since 1967. Add guaranteed Fantasmic! viewing to that experience and you have one of the best evening packages at the Disneyland Resort.

The dining package is available during periods when Fantasmic! is running, which means availability is seasonal and subject to the show schedule. When the show is not being performed, this package is not offered.

The Experience

What’s Included

• Full meal at Blue Bayou Restaurant — Choose from the regular lunch or dinner menu featuring Louisiana-inspired cuisine
• Reserved viewing area for Fantasmic! — A designated section with excellent sightlines, no need to stake out a spot hours in advance
• A voucher provided at the end of your meal to present at the Fantasmic! viewing area

The Meal

Blue Bayou serves Cajun-Creole and Southern-inspired dishes in one of the most atmospheric settings at any Disney park. Signature items include the Monte Cristo sandwich, Crescent City Salad, and a rotating selection of Louisiana-style entrees. Save room for the creme brulee — widely considered the best dessert in New Orleans Square.

The dining package typically includes an appetizer, entree, dessert, and non-alcoholic beverage, though specific inclusions may vary.

Fantasmic! Viewing

After your meal, head to the designated Fantasmic! viewing area with your voucher. The reserved section offers clear views of the show without the stress of arriving early to claim a spot. Fantasmic! combines water screens, pyrotechnics, live performers, and Disney character projections into a spectacular nighttime experience.

How to Get a Reservation

The Blue Bayou Dining Package sees moderate to high demand with approximately 1,600 reservation alerts on MagicTable. Availability depends on both restaurant capacity and the Fantasmic! show schedule.

Demand patterns by month:

• Hardest months: November and December (peak demand at 5) — holiday season drives enormous demand
• October is also high (4) as the fall event season ramps up
• Easiest months: May, June, July (1) offer the most availability
• Demand builds steadily from summer into the holidays

Tips for booking:

• Disneyland Resort reservations open 60 days in advance
• Book as early as possible, especially for November-December dates
• Dinner seatings tend to be more popular than lunch since they align better with evening Fantasmic! showtimes
• If the dining package is unavailable, you can still dine at Blue Bayou separately and try for Fantasmic! viewing through other packages
• Check back for cancellations — people frequently adjust holiday plans

Dining Plan Information

The Disneyland Resort does not currently offer a dining plan equivalent to Walt Disney World’s. The Blue Bayou Dining Package is paid out of pocket, with pricing that varies based on the meal period and whether it is a regular or premium show night.
