March 18, 1967 – The Blue Bayou Restaurant Opens in Disneyland’s New Orleans Square
“Dine on Cajun and Creole specialties at one of Disneyland Park’s most popular – and most romantic – restaurants.”
On March 18, 1967, the Blue Bayou Restaurant opened in the New Orleans Square area of Disneyland. The restaurant is considered one of the most attractive dining areas in the entire park, and has also been considered a “must-do” part of any Disneyland visit. Located in the same building as the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, diners are able to watch as guests travel through the attraction while enjoying a special nighttime atmosphere reminiscent of summers in the bayou. Versions of this restaurant have been opened in Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.
