Disney rides, restaurants, and experiences go under refurbishment frequently to keep them in tip-top shape for guests. And, it’s important to know that just because your favorite spot is closed for a period of time, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s getting a complete overhaul — it could just need some technical fixes or a paint job!
Over in Disneyland, we’ve been keeping track of the refurbishments at Pirates of the Caribbean (where they’re completely overhauling the queue area) and it looks like one of the additional closures impacted by the refurbishment will be reopening soon! Here’s what you need to know!
We previously shared that Pirates of the Caribbean is set to reopen on June 30th, 2022 according to Disney’s calendar. And, we did some additional digging to see how that might impact the closure at Blue Bayou (which the boats from the attraction pass through) and it looks like the fan-favorite restaurant could be reopening SOONER!
The restaurant closed a little over a month ago on April 21st, and, currently, it is no longer listed on Disneyland’s refurbishment calendar starting June 24th, 2022!
Of course, this is subject to change, as no hours are listed for June 24th on Blue Bayou’s site right now and guests cannot make any reservations yet. But, we’ll be keeping an eye out so that you know when you can begin booking those coveted dining reservations!
And, we’ll be sure to bring you a look at any changes we spot as the refurbishments come to an end in Disneyland, so stay tuned to DFB!
