Earlier today, Disney shared a ton of exciting food news, including the MAJOR announcement that Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland will begin to serve alcoholic beverages when it reopens!
Blue Bayou
With Disneyland’s opening just one month away, we’re pretty stoked to hear about any new changes coming to the parks! For those under the age of 21 or those looking for nonalcoholic drink options, additional menu changes are on the way at Blue Bayou.
Not only will Disneyland add beer, wine, and cocktails to the menu at Blue Bayou for the first time EVER, but they will also offer a selection of new, seasonal takes on the Mint Julep! Oh, Mint Julep, how we’ve missed you!
Mint Julep Cup
Mint Juleps are typically popular alcoholic beverages, but Disneyland’s versions are a fan-favorite nonalcoholic drinks of choice! Seriously, on a hot Southern California day, there are few things that are better. If you can’t grab a reservation at Blue Bayou, the classic Mint Juleps are always available at the Mint Julep Bar right around the corner!
Mint Julep Bar
We’ve tried a variety of seasonal Mint Juleps there over the years, including the Strawberry Julep which debut shortly before the parks closed in 2020. These fun twists on a classic Disneyland staple are always a welcome treat in our book, so we’re excited to see what’s in store at Blue Bayou!
Strawberry Julep
At this time, Disney has not shared a specific reopening date for Blue Bayou, but they did note that the restaurant will not reopen on April 30th with the park. An exact reopening date will be announced soon, so once we know more we will let you know!

We’ve been having a blast playing Disney-themed brackets over the past year, but we’ve got an EXTRA special one going on right now.
Cinderella Castle
What makes it so special? You made this Disney smackdown! It’s the DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket and it’s built from submissions from YOU. That’s right, every item on this bracket is a spot that means a LOT to one of our readers, and we’re so excited to find out which one is the best of the best (even if they’re all AMAZING!).
First up, we pit EPCOT’s Leave a Legacy displays against EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion. Leave a Legacy personally commemorates guests, but the Italy Pavilion is a romantic and special location. The winner? The Italy Pavilion!
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
Some guests love toting a Dole Whip near Aloha Isle, but this spot couldn’t quite stand up to the pure magic and beauty of Cinderella Castle! Cindy’s place won out as a more magical spot with a whopping 85% of the vote!
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
Another MAJOR blowout was the result when Main Street, U.S.A., a happy place for many, beat out the wonderful memories of trying on Mickey ears at The Chapeau.
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
We’ve got another EPCOT mash-up! The spectacular sight of walking into World Showcase trumped the wonky and memorable troll statue inside The Fjording. 87% of you have a special place in your heart for EPCOT’s worldly pavilions!
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
Some of you sent in resort hotel spots as special to you and we couldn’t agree more! The delightful beaches and hammocks of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort left the peaceful seating on Disney’s BoardWalk behind.
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
Looking for a spot to imbibe? We compared a serene break at Nomad Lounge in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to the relaxing escape of La Cava del Tequila in EPCOT. This one was CLOSE, but Nomad Lounge barely took the win with 52%.
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
In Disney World, pretty much anywhere can hold special memories — even transportation! You picked the magic of the Disney World monorail over the cool views of the Skyliner at night.
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
The joy and wonder of watching the pianist and hanging out in the lobby at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort won’t be making it to the next round. Why? Plenty of folks voted for the magic of relaxing in a Disney World Resort hotel room!
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
We’re popping back into Magic Kingdom for our next mash-up. Pirates of the Caribbean took the cake as a wondrous attraction when pitted against the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover — but don’t think that means we miss it any less!
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
EPCOT boat rides can be seriously magical places. Still, Living with the Land holds more special memories for our readers than Gran Fiesta Tour does.
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
Whew! What do you think happened when we pit Disney’s Hollywood Studios NEW favorite attraction, Rise of the Resistance, with its OLD favorite attraction, Tower of Terror? Well, it was CLOSE, but Rise of the Resistance netted the win with 52% of the vote.
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
Some iconic EPCOT attractions gave our voters quite the conundrum too, but in the end, Spaceship Earth was voted as the better spot than Test Track.
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
Let’s give some little locations some love over in Magic Kingdom! Which do you think won between the Wishing Well near Cinderella Castle and the dining room at The Crystal Palace? It was the Wishing Well!
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
BACK over in Hollywood Studios, we had to see whether you think it’s more special to stand in awe of the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge or to stroll down Sunset Boulevard. Sunset Boulevard took the win!
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
It turns out you love grabbing a seat near the Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom more than you love to grab a snack at Harambe Market. Hey, it’s okay to love both!
DFB Best Spot in Disney World Bracket
And our final match-up was a smackdown for most wonderful between Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room and the France Pavilion in EPCOT. With 70% of the vote, France took the gâteau.

Disneyland Paris has been closed in France for quite some time now.
What a Beautiful View of Disneyland Paris ©Disney
The park closed for a second time last year in October due to the situation with the pandemic, and was most recently set to reopen on April 2nd. That reopening, however, has been postponed and a new reopening date has not yet been set. Now, we’ve gotten an update on what’s going on in France in general related to the pandemic and certain restrictions.
According to the New York Times, President Emmanuel Macron of France has announced a new set of restrictive measures in an attempt to halt a new wave of COVID-19. The new restrictions impose a third national lockdown in the country for a month.

The New York Times notes that with hospitals becoming crowded with patients and infections rising, the President has decided to move away from his previous plans which kept France open in the hopes that vaccine distribution would make another lockdown unnecessary.
Not too long ago, we shared a look at new restrictions that had been introduced at the regional level in France in March to try and fight off another wave of infections. These regulations forced non-essential businesses to close and ordered residents to limit their outdoor activities to a certain mile radius from their homes. But, at the time, the government backed down from a tough lockdown for Paris and other regions. That appears to have now changed and France will be entering into its third national lockdown.
Lollipops and Sweets in Disneyland Paris
According to the New York Times, on Tuesday, France reported more than 5,000 people in intensive care units for the first time since last April. The New York Times notes that the “slow vaccine rollout has not prevented an outburst off infections.” Some recent statistics indicate that about 12% of the population in France have received at least 1 shot of a COVID-19 vaccine.
So, for now, it appears France will enter another lockdown for a month. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates on this and any other news that might be shared about Disneyland Paris.
