Blue Bayou and Magellan's

[Sherlee]

We we were able to get reservations at both of these for our trip next month. Now that I have translated the on-line menus, I am not so sure. Are they both prix fixe menus only or do they have other options? Thank you!

Yes both are prix fixe, you cannot order food a la carte.

And no substitutions or modifications.

I know your trip has passed, but we were able to do walk-up at Magellans and I was very impressed. Everything was delicious and service was wonderful.

Do you remember around what time you ate and how long you waited? I have an upcoming lunch reservation but am thinking of eating dinner there instead.

We went for lunch a little before noon and it was basically a walk-in. They just needed a few minutes and then took us to our table. It was kind of nice NOT to have a reservation to allow for flexibility with premier access/shows. That said, if you have your heart set on it you may want to keep the reservation

Would 2 - 2.25 hours be enough time for dinner? We have "linner" reservations at Blue Bayou (4:30pm) and Magellan's (4:10pm) in early June. I believe the parade will be at 7:30, and we plan on purchasing premier access, if available. Not sure what our dinner plans would be, especially at Disneyland, if we don't go for a sit-down restaurant. It's hard to find recent information about menus, etc.

That's plenty of time for Blue Bayou. If you're willing to stand rather than sit, it's not difficult to get a spot for the electrical parade. Magellan's is a bit more iffy. You wouldn't miss Believe but it'd be harder to get a good spot if you're a slow eater.

Food does come out quite quickly since the menu isn't huge.

The TDR website seems to be very up-to-date. You will need to translate the menus though. That's why I use the website. Generally, you can figure out what it is, but some of the translations are really funny. I have been going through them again for our June trip, since a bunch were update for April.

Fortunately Google Translate automatically translates websites, and the translations are funny indeed. I think I've managed to figure out if this is a fish, or beef, or eel or something wrapped in phyllo. LOL.

What did you eat?

Between my mom and I we got one Pacific and one Magellan set. We traded a little so we could both try more things. My main was the beef, which was delicious, but I honestly liked it all. Sadly I only took two photos of the food. They did have English menus once you got there (I think…unless I was translating with the lens…)

The dessert was chocolate with a lemon sorbet…I wasn’t sure about the flavor combination, but it totally worked. You also got coffee or tea with dessert, which is always a lovely way to end a meal.

Google translate

Yes! Google translate - it lets you take a photo and translates the text for you…I am not sure how perfectly accurate it is, but it was certainly helpful (and fun to translate random signs throughout our trip)
