Blue Bayou gumbo gone?

[gottalovepluto]

Is it true?! I know they got rid of the “free” gumbo or salad starter but is the gumbo completely gone from BB? It’s almost like that’s the straw that’s breaking this camels back ... My fam has gone every trip as we love the atmosphere but the prices are getting out of control even for die hards like us. I’m thinking we might be better off to skip this time and eat QS in NOS...

Can you get gumbo from the walk up window QS without the bread bowl?

Café Orleans had Chicken Gumbo as a Starter last week...a cup @ $7.

The Monte Cristo is the same as what’s served at BB.

I had the gumbo in July 2019. It was the seasonal soup.

WOAH.. I hadn’t kept up with that change removing the first course from entrees at BB... but keeping the prices the same!

That makes BB even more breathtakingly expensive and I’m now considering canceling our reservation for this Sunday.

I can’t comprehend how that represents a good value, regardless of atmosphere.

Or has the food improved that much at Blue Bayou?

I enjoyed when I went in July. Jambalaya was good. Gumbo delicious. But I do think places like Cafe Orleans, Carthay and maybe even Carnation Cafe are much better than BB.

Do they still have the Blue Bayou potatoes side? The ones that are a bit like scalloped potatoes?

We went on Friday. I ordered the chicken and the potatoes came as my side, with some mixed veg.

Sorry, ate at Blue Bayou on Sunday and there was no Gumbo. The soup was red beans and rice with pork. It was good though.

Wow. No Gumbo at Blue Bayou is a DEALBREAKER.

I am getting really irritated with Disney and its food choices as of late.

First, they removed the tuna sandwich at CHH in MK.
Second, just discovered complimentary bread at some TS restaurants is getting faded out. (its replacement at Tony's, garlic knots for the low low price of $9!)
NOW, no Gumbo at BB?

Seriously? This is ridiculous. I could understand if the menu items weren't popular, but they ARE! And phasing out bread ... that is low class. (as I said on restaurant board, even Red Lobster and Olive Garden give away bread.)

So cheap!! Disney your net worth is $130 BILLION. Quit nickel and diming. Act like the prestigious brand you tout yourself to be!!!!

It seems like the quality of the BB experience has decreased dramatically, and I'm wondering if this is linked to when they began offering the F! packages. Maybe they don't HAVE to have the same quality if they can sell the place through the F! dining experience.

It is funny that you said this because we just returned from 5 days at the DLR and we only get out there once every couple years at the most (we are from the Philly area). We are huge fans of POTC and it was always a tradition to eat at the Blue Bayou, but this was the first year that we decided that its just not worth it anymore. Sure, the prices were always expensive, but its just outrageous now!

No tuna sandwich at Harbor House. Now I’m upset. That was my favorite, right up there with the upstairs seating that not many people seem to be aware of...

Has anyone had the Fantasmic! dining package lately? Because that is still advertised as a three course meal. So what appetizers are offered with the package if you can't have gumbo?

They offer a seasonal soup or a salad...

I am still mad that they took away the Fried Green Tomato Sandwiches!

Yes those! I keep hoping they will bring them back.

That's what we had in October, and it was delicious! We were initially disappointed, but then didn't miss the gumbo really because we liked the other soup so much.

Cancelled Blue Bayou. Going with Cafe Orleans, people watching, splitting some Monte Cristos and pocketing the difference!
