Pull up a chair Happy Platers!

On today’s show, we are going to take a step back in time and look at the history of dining in Disneyland with a focus on one particularly swashbuckling eatery, Blue Bayou.

This immersive dining experience opened on March 18, 1967, and was the first restaurant ever to be built inside a ride attraction anywhere in the world.

Do you wish there was a Blue Bayou in other Disney Parks?

Welcome to the Table Happy Platers! 

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most fascinating aspects of Disney’s food operations: the Flavor Lab. This behind-the-scenes powerhouse is responsible for nearly every new restaurant, dish, and drink at Disney theme parks worldwide. Let’s dive into this incredible facility's structure, operations, and purview!

 The Flavor Lab’s Structure

Imagine a 7,000-square-foot, backstage-only test kitchen, brimming with creativity and culinary innovation. The Flavor Lab is divided into four distinct sections: 

1. Eat 
2. Create
3. Drink
4. Industrial Kitchen

How fun would it be to work here?!
