What it is

Iconic table service restaurant set inside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, where you dine under a permanent twilight sky as boats drift past. Louisiana-inspired Cajun and Creole menu, plus wine, beer, and a signature Hurricane cocktail alongside the classic non-alcoholic mint julep.

The room: Permanent moonlit bayou inside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Lanterns, fireflies, and drifting boats make it one of the most atmospheric restaurants in any Disney park.

Getting a table

Book the morning your window opens, right at 6 AM Eastern. I do this for my clients.

Tips

  • One of the hardest reservations at Disneyland - book as soon as your 60-day window opens
  • The Monte Cristo is only on the lunch menu and lunch is noticeably cheaper than dinner
  • Ask for a waterside table at check-in - you may wait longer but it is worth it
  • Check the mobile walk-up list in the Disneyland app for same-day openings
  • Yes, the boats from Pirates of the Caribbean really do float by while you eat

Best for

  • Special occasions
  • Pirates of the Caribbean fans
  • Atmosphere seekers
  • Date nights
