Hi everyone! We are planning a trip to Disneyland after 3 years of saving up for it and plan to dine at the Blue Bayou during the trip. It will be the first time dining there for my husband and 2 kids(age 5 and 9) and I haven't been there since I was 13(ahem, DECADES ago). I have a few questions:

What are the other vegetarian options that have been available if you don't want the portobello? I have seen others ask for alternatives and were able to get some.

When is the quietest time to dine there? Our trip will be Monday-Thursday in middle august and we would like to be there and get a water table. I was thinking an early lunch or early dinner would be best?

Do the glow cubes work after the restaurant? Could the kids take them home?

What is the best dish that they currently have(we won't order the Monte Cristo due to stomach issues with deep fried things)

Any other tips to make it a memorable experience for all of us would be greatly appreciated! we are sooooo excited!
