Hey MW friends, i'm looking for some Disney dining advice! It's my girlfriends birthday on Sunday and I'd like to take her somewhere special at the parks (not pizza port). I'd like to do Blue Bayou because she's never been there, but let's just say it's "tainted" from past "villains". So what would you personally recommend? I myself am a very simple eater so places like Golden Horseshoe do me justice. But it's not MY birthday so feel free to fancy it up a bit. Thanks in advance!!! :)
Haha, so good two words count as one!? - ScubaSteve028 812.4 #114 7:20PM
Is it safe to say that napa rose is equivalent to blue bayou? Both price, atnosphere and quality?? - ScubaSteve028 812.4 #114 7:28PM
Price wise, Napa rose can absolutely blow blue bayou out of the water. Atmosphere, blue bayou is Disney to the tenth degree while Napa rose is just a fancy restaurant (unless you sit at the chefs counter). As far as quality, its not even close. Napa Rose absolutely blows blur bayou away. - Slotherini 886.9 #99 7:35PM
Take her to the Plaza inn. Best chicken dinner ever! - theRealDisneygirlforevr

I agree! We've had it so many times before though we might wanna try something different. But that's definitely a safe bet :) - ScubaSteve028 812.4 #114 7:46PM
Yeah go for the fried chicken dinner! - MetalheadNelson 19.3 #5125 8:10PM
Cafe Orleans is my personal favorite. Lots of great choices, sit-down service. There's nicer places in DC...wine Country Trattoria for example. All depends on how much you want to spend! - Gia

I was considering wine country because neither of us have been. How's the food? - ScubaSteve028 812.4 #114 7:48PM
Cafe Orleans. Or Ariels Grotto for the World of color dinner - tigntink

Great idea! Didn't know they had a woc dinner there! - ScubaSteve028 812.4 #114 7:49PM
I second this!! Great atmosphere!! :) 👍 - SarahJoshDisney 69.5 #3412 8:13PM
If you're looking for atmosphere, Napa Rose then Blue Bayou, similar in price. Cafe Orleans is very good. Steak House 55 is good also. Plaza in is good but cafeteria style and very loud and crowded. Storytellers is awesome. And the Wine Country Trattoria in DCA. Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta hands down over Pizza port. - splashphotoCM

Oooo I like that. Nice selling phrase! - ScubaSteve028 812.4 #114 7:22PM
I say Cafe Orleans, across from Blue Bayou. Not super expensive but not cheesy. Food and atmosphere is great. But if you are willing to pay the more like Blue Bayou, then go to Napa Rose at the Grand Californian! Pretty awesome. - CadaverousPallor

I would go to cafe Orleans similar to blue bayou without all the bad memories! - akpoppins

I agree with MayBie, Storytellers isn't bad and it's cheaper than Napa Rose. It doesn't wow with atmosphere but the Farmers Market salad and Corn Chowder are yummy! - LaneSparrow316

My bf took to me to Ariel's Grotto and I loved it. Food was great and I loved that I got to meet all the Princesses, so if she likes that sort of thing then Ariel's Grotto is the place to go 😊 - Andrie

Does she like meeting the characters? getting pictures or autographs from them? cause if so i would say goofys kitchen, sure it may seem a little childish but thats what makes it fun, they will also bring her a birthday cupcake and sing, they have adult type foods their too so dont worry aha. - DevonInWonderland

I thought it might be too child based but I may actually look into. It seems like fun! How's the pricing compared to say blue bayou? - ScubaSteve028 812.4 #114 7:58PM
I would say Napa Rose. I, personally, have never been there but plan to. Heard it's amazing. Steakhouse 55 is really good. Intimate atmosphere. I got steak, not as good as Blue Bayou, IMO, but still really good. - melissa_ficent

Jazz Kitchen! 💗💗But honestly...don't let someone else ruin the Blue Bayou for you. Go if that's what you really want to do - KissDclown
