Maybe you can order 2 mushrooms and one mac n cheese and split with DH and/or mil after it gets to your table.
but on our last night in the park I managed to snag us an early dinner seating (5pm), we checked in at about 4:40pm and asked for waterside and the lady was really nice and we were seated by 4:55pm (we didn't mind, the parks closed at 8pm that night and since it was our last night we were pretty Disney Pooped by then and wanted to head out early). I have to warn you sitting waterside you may get hecklers! We had I believe 3 POTC boats of hecklers go by within the 45 minutes/1hour we were there. My DH and I found it amusing but others may not. 
i just had this dish this past sat and i cant wait to go back and order it again!!!
Start thinking of a witty comeback for "TOSS ME A ROLL!"Curious, what sort of heckling? I'm not worried about being bothered by it, but I would love to have a couple prepared options to fire back with.
This is true. Aside from my earlier statement, most of the time my daughter just waved at them if they talked to us at all, and they shut up.
Oh no!!
Just for warning, I love BB, but I didn't love it with my group of 8. You can barely see the person next to you. You can't see the person at the other end of a table for 8, due to the darkness.
I think I remember hearing that they have tables that can seat 6, but if you're wanting to seat 8 near the water, you may be in for a super long wait as they'd have to have a couple tables leave around the same time. I'm not 100% sure they'll do it at all.
For all the times that I've eaten at BB, I haven't experienced all that many boats with guests that are disruptive. It doesn't happen a lot. The Grad Night groups aren't really any worse (to me) than any other day in the parks; you're going to get good groups and less-than-good groups. I wouldn't worry about it. In truth, I've seen more boats with little kids waving at the diners than I have heard hecklers.
Wow, whenever I've dined at Blue Bayou it's been dimly lit, but I wouldn't say it's dark. I've never had any problems being able to see the person next to me or at the next table over. I wonder if that means some areas are darker than others in the restaurant; we're usually at the waterside.
