Maybe you dont want to eat while construction or refurbishing going on, all the dust,smells and and who knows what else . It’san old ride ..yuck
I will wait, maybe they will improve that too
It’s cool seeing the restaurant there while waiting in line for the ride, but the place is rundown. Water from an air conditioning vent dropped into my brother’s food. The waiter didn’t want to move us to a new table, nor did he refund us for the incident. When we asked if he could give us another meal for my brother (who was 16) the waiter responded, “It’s just water.” He did eventually bring my brother a new plate of chicken.
Disney has been having issues for awhile now. Why this stuff wasn’t fixed during the pandemic is a bit of a mystery to me. Either way, I understand that these places have to be fixed and tended to otherwise we see more and more complaints and safety issues pop up. We don’t want that at the happiest place on earth.
I actually will miss it; it has been one of my absolute favorite places to eat since I was a kid. Hope that when I do get to go again, it will reopen and be better than ever! I also have to say, I love the Golden Horseshoe as well. As far as comments on prices, if you go to Disneyland anyway, expect prices to be higher for things.
Disney has gone brain dead…….they closed the Monorail, indefinitely, closed Pirates for who knows how long, and Bleu Bayou indefinitely…..ALL during the peak traffic time of the year. To be honest, Bleu Bayou really sucks in the last several years……
They need to bring back Wally Disney’s vision of rides like Pirates and put the Captain Jack Sparrow crap aside. Disney is ruining the things that made it timeless and fun.
Pirates has already been ruined by “woke” remodels, such as removing animatronics that show pirates chasing women, and a bunch of others. Now, it appears that the ride has been determined to not be “woke” enough, so the park is doing a major renovation. I can’t even begin to imagine what they’re going to do next.
Its.closed because some of the refurbishment is in the bayou area and they will have work lights on throughout the ride. It usually gets closed when the ride is being refurbished.
It’s not unusual. At the moment, it seems it should reopen either the weekend.before ot weekend after memorial day. That’s usually when the fall refurb is done.
Talked with several cast members today while eating there. They have 5 – 6 air conditioning ducts that are 30 ft up that leak water down to the tables below when the air runs in the summer. They are closing mid April for about a month. Not sure where the indefinitely came from. And June 7 was what I was told for pirates re-open.
I’ll miss it a little. Not because the food was good but because it was one of the few restaurants that actually had waiters to serve you. When I was a kid, the 1st thing we did when we arrived at Disneyland was to make a
reservation at the BB so we knew we had a decent place to eat at later. I know I’m dating myself but when I used to go there was no normal place to eat.
For all it’s worth, they should shut the Blue Bayou restaurant down now and refurbish the whole place. There’s room for improvement. Disneyland should take advantage of that.
This was my parents first date. We’re going in late March and tried to get reservations. Now I know why we couldn’t. My sister and I took them back for their 25th anniversary. Daddy passed in June 2017. Momma really wanted to eat there again before it’s too late.
Come on people, “indefinite” just means that they don’t have the exact reopening date. They will have it back open before the larger crowds start up for the summer. Yes, they could have done a refurb while the parks were closed, but I am guessing that they weren’t running the AC during the closure, so once the AC was being used again they found that it had gone into disrepair (rubber ages, seals start leaking from not being used). So now they are fixing it.
Why didn’t they fixed everything when they were shut down from covid ? Everything is breaking down , way to many things , rides and restaurants were closed. And their ticket prices went up. The food is definitely not good for the price you pay.
I haven t been to Disney world in decades. But I loved and I love Walt Disney for his investment in creating a world that encourages children’s imaginations(!). There truly isn’t anything on earth like Disney world. And I certainly do hope these find childhood sites aren’t permanently closed and eventually Disney closes😱😭.
Maybe while closed they can reset the menu because the food isn’t very good…Ambiance is everything with this particular restaurant but you’d think they’d at least try to offer an appealing menu / food quality…Especially for the amount they charge…

Anony-mouse
Yep… and the reason there haven’t been trams, is that the rats chewed through the electrical wires while they were closed from pandemic.
Matt
That’s what happens when the covering for the wires is made from food sources to be environmentally conscious.
Jenni
They’ve also removed the surf and turf from the menu.

What is the point of lying to people? This website lies alot. This is the last time I ever look at anything posted by you
Karen
Maybe its just me but from everything I have read about Disney World over the past 18 months, it seems Disney is going to h**l in a handbasket😔☹️

Ted Hursh, Pirates is being refurbished and it set to reopen in the summer. Peak time is summer..

Oops, I meant Walt. Lol. Autocorrect. 🫤

Natalie
Maybe they can work on their menu while closed since the food isn’t great for the price they are charging
Jujubee
Good idea…and the prices too!
Brenda W.
Natalie, I never ate there because it was too expensive anyway..

Cool Spot 👍. Add More Fire Flys / Lightning Bugs PLEASE !!! ???

Tizz
Worked in New Orleans Restaurants in the late 90s and Blue Bayou and Pirates closed every year for refurbishment. Not a big deall!
Sandy Bernhardt
I will most definitely miss the blue blue. We had one of our anniversary dinners there. Right at the water. It was great. I sure hope you reopen it.
Brenda W.
Sandy Bernhardt, I know it’s a restaurant favorite and my son wanted to try it years ago but we can’t afford it.
Kevin H Hobart
I still have the pirate’s mask with the “Pirate’s Galleon” original kids menu on the back.

It will reopen in the summer. Indefinitely means they just don’t have a specific date yet. Not going anywhere.
Sonia Wilson
My family and I have eaten at the Blue Bayou and the food was delicious and service was great! Wonderful atmosphere.
DougxEddy
When is the Disneyland Dog Kennel opening back up?!
benji
Yes, I’d like to know about the Dog Kennel opening date as well.

Nowhere is it saying indefinite yet that’s the article header. Get some real facts before sharing next time.
