Well the Blue Bayou was "Improved" during the last Pirates refurb. A new kitchen, new chef designed menu, and new prices...

If you have had a chance to eat there since the changes, let us know what you think.

We had a chance to eat there for lunch the day before the UAB Jamboree, and I have to say I was dissapointed Sad Let me first say, that we make it a point to ALWAYS eat at least once EVERY trip at the Blue Bayou.. Either for lunch or Dinner.. it's been a family tradition.

I now think that tradition will be changing. Sad The atmosphere and ambience are still unbelivable and unique... BUT the food choices and prices left much to be desired.

The average price for a lunch entree was $25.00. And they have taken the food from a good selection, to being very upscale and not very appetizing in my opinion.

They have changed everything including their great gumbo they used to offer.

The souvenier menu was great... but for 6 people to have lunch for $130 plus... the ambience and location... just doesn't make up for it.

I appreciate Disney's effort, but I think they missed the bateux on this one Sad

Inflation has something to do with that...
Disney has always been a bit over-priced. Sad to see the Gumbo is off the menu; that used to be a tasty starter. Sad

We went for lunch a couple of days before the Jamboree and I was disappointed at the selection on the menu not to mention the prices. The dinner menu had more selection, but the prices jumped even higher.

We ate at Cafe Orleans on our last day and while pricey I thought it was very good. I had the Gumbo Crepe and the Chocolate Crepe for desert...yum!

As for Gumbo, I still enjoyed having Gumbo out near the Pirates line in the bread bowl.

Darn, now I'm craving the Gumbo!

Being an annual passholder, I don't usually eat at the parks, but...I have eaten at the Bayou twice in the last month...The food was really good in my opinion. I think They are trying to make it into the "Upscale" restaurant that they wanted it to be way back. The prices are a bit steep for the average family, and for the last few months, you have to have a reservation, no walk-ins available...The thing I disliked the most was tat you have to bbok at least 3 days in advance...
