Blue Bayou Restaurant is a full-service New Orleans/Cajun-style restaurant renowned for its unusual ambiance. Restaurants are located at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland,Los Angeles Times Disneyland Park (Paris) under the name Captain Jack's - Le Restaurant des Pirates, and Shanghai Disneyland under the name Barbossa's Bounty.
==Summary==
Guests wishing to dine at the restaurant are advised to make reservations at least a day in advance. At Disneyland, this is particularly true during the 4:00pm to 8:00pm dinner rush. Reservations 1 week in advance are advisable, but are able to be made up to two months in advance for the entire dining period.
The restaurant is built within the same show building that houses part of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, with parts of the ride even taking place beneath the restaurant. Although seated in a large, enclosed building, diners experience the illusion of eating in an outdoor restaurant at nighttime. This effect is achieved through the use of a dark and distant ceiling, air conditioning, and carefully coordinated lighting. The theming is intensified by the sounds of crickets and frogs, the meandering glow of fireflies, and projection effects above that imitate the night sky. The restaurant is also popular for offering a view of the beginning portion of Pirates of the Caribbean. Guests can see the riders floating by in their boats, and the riders can see the festive nighttime lighting of the restaurant as they pass by. Riders in the boats have been known to shout "Throw me a roll!" at diners; whether anyone has ever thrown a roll and/or successfully caught it is unknown.

Originally the restaurant was to feature live entertainment but Disney historian Jim Korkis reported after a dress rehearsal and trial dinner in 1966 Walt Disney declared "In this restaurant, the food is going to be the show, along with the atmosphere".The Story of the Red Wagon Inn
===Disneyland Paris version===
Although seated in a large, enclosed structure, diners experience an illusion that mimics being located on a Caribbean beach in an outdoor restaurant at nighttime. This effect is achieved through the use of a dark ceiling and special lighting, as well as sound and visual effects. Diners hear the chirping of crickets and croaking of frogs and they see the glow of fireflies. The restaurant is very closely tied to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, in that the water stream that runs by the diners in the restaurant carries the attraction's boats as visitors begin their ride. Diners and riders are often in visual contact.
After a revamp of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, the restaurant formerly known as the Blue Lagoon Restaurant was renamed Captain Jack's, with a story attached to it that Captain Jack Sparrow had won the restaurant in a duel with Angelica Teach, the daughter of Blackbeard.http://dedicatedtodlp.com/2017/06/16/disneyland-paris-news-blue-lagoon-to-be-renamed-captain-jacks-is-that-a-bad-thing/Captain Jack's - Restaurant des Pirates - Hello Disneyland - ParisTwitter CafeFantasia："Check out the ENGLISH menu for Captain Jack's - Restaurant des Pirates at..."
===Shanghai Disneyland version===

Featuring spicy barbecue from pirate chefs who love to show off their cooking skills in the demonstration kitchen, Barbossa’s Bounty also offers guests the opportunity to enjoy their meal in the themed dining room of their choice. Guests may also choose the extraordinary experience of dining inside the thrilling attraction, Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure.
