Blue Bayou are full-service New Orleans/Cajun-style restaurants renowned for their unusual ambiance. They are located at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland, in Chiba, Japan. Guests wishing to dine at the restaurant are advised to make reservations at least a day in advance. At Disneyland, it is advised to reserve at least one week in advance for the 4-8 p.m. dinner period; reservations are accepted up to two months in advance. The restaurant is built within the same show building that houses part of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, with parts of the ride even taking place beneath the restaurant. Although seated in a large, enclosed building, diners experience the illusion of being in an outdoor restaurant at nighttime. The effect is achieved through the use of a dark and distant ceiling, air conditioning, and carefully coordinated lighting. The theming is intensified by the sounds of crickets and frogs, the glow of fireflies, and projection effects that imitate a night sky. The restaurant is also popular for offering a view of the beginning portion of Pirates of the Caribbean.
