FOOD! Blue Bayou

My favorite place to eat by far in the whole park has to be the Blue Bayou located inside the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride in New Orleans Square.  The Filet Mignon that they serve there is AMAZING! Along with the Blue Bayou Potatoes and the salad its well worth the $40.00! I heard that "Steakhouse 55" inside the Disneyland Hotel is also really good but I haven't been there yet. 
       The reason love Blue Bayou so much other than the food is because it can be a blistering summer day or the coldest winter day outside, but once you go inside you are instantly transported to a perfect summer night in the back yard of a old New Orleans mansion. Complete with the passing river and hanging circle glow lanterns it really does make you forget at least just for a second that you are no longer at Disneyland. 

       This is why I love Disney, they put so much energy into making every aspect of the park something that you can talk about and wish you were back in after you leave.
       Word of advice though, even though the river really adds a unique touch to the atmosphere having river front seating isn't for everybody. The passing boats with the people riding the ride can be very distracting. Now if you have kids it can be a good way to get there attention away from playing with the utensils on the table and give you some peace because they will wave at every boat passing by. But if you are there with your date then the boats waving at you and trying to get your attention every 10sec can be really annoying. Thats why I said NOT FOR EVERYBODY. 
       But other than that there is nothing to complain about. Make sure to make reservations because trying to get a table on the day you go with out them can be near impossible. For reservations call 714-781-DINE (3463).
