As Guests may be aware, Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean is closed for refurbishment, meaning Disneyland is without one of its most iconic rides during one of the busiest times of the year. Sadly, the space will also be taking another big hit with the restaurant connected to the ride being closed down very soon.

According to the official Disneyland Resort website, the Blue Bayou restaurant will be closing for an undisclosed amount of time starting April 21 of this year. It is not known what this closure will entail and whether or not this is due to the work being done on Pirates of the Caribbean.

Thanks to a picture from Joseph (@disneywjoseph) on Twitter, we can see what the Blue Bayou looks like right now. The atmosphere is definitely lacking in the restaurant, with construction walls being present while Guests enjoy their meal:

obviously it makes sense with pirates being refurbed as of two days ago, but blue bayou looks so.. depressing

Blue Bayou has been a must-visit destination for many Disneyland Resort Guests since its opening in 1967.
