Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains <a href="http://allears.net/dlr/din/menu/men_bayk.htm" target="_blank">http://allears.net/dlr/din/men...bayk.htm</a> That is the lunch menu BB is the restaurant that is in the Pirates building. The french market has the chowder bowl - So does the Royal St Veranda and in DCA it's at the Pacific Wharf Cafe

Originally Posted By Jenn31 "I am not going to travel 6000 miles to eat at Denny's outside of the resort" I totally agree. Dining while on vacation is just as important as the vacation itself. I can go to Denny's any old time, but the Blue Bayou is special. Each restaurant in the park holds different memories for me and my family, and that's what vacation is about, making memories.
Originally Posted By juicer "It is about the same price as a Cheesecake Factory." But you have the options at Cheesecake to get a sandwich or big salad. At the BB the menu is limited and all the entrees are $25 and over - Adv. around the $30 mark. Everytime I think I want to go to the BB - I look at the menu and get a sickening feel in my stomach. And decide to go somewhere else.
Originally Posted By charming husband If I am not mistaken Jenn31, they do not allow strollers inside due to having the walkways inbetween the tables having to be clear. Ours had to be parked outside so be sure you don't leave personal things in it or they just might not be there when you return.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Well, given the other day, my hotel charged $35 per person for breakfast and it wasn't very good (had no choice as I had a breakfast business meeting), I do think BB is a good deal. I would never say it was cheap, but I would say I think the value is there. Whereas I do not think there is value in grabbing a burger in the parks.
Originally Posted By Jenn31 Thank you charming husband, I didn't know that. This trip I'm bringing a small messenger type bag to carry diapers, juice, etc. That way we can grab and go.

I live near San Francisco and know expensive restaurants and $35 is on the high mark. I understand about paying what the market will bear. And that if DL can charge those prices at the Blue Bayou and are still busy...Well, good for them (I guess). But why does the check-in process have to be so caotic? Can't they figure a way where its a little more cival and not so cattle carish?
