People cue up to check in, and then they're let into the waiting area. In answer to your second question. We've been to Disneyland hundreds of times as well. We followed the same pattern as ZebraTiki, first thing in the park, run over to Blue Bayou and make our lunch reservations. Lunch used to be 1/2 the price of dinner. This equated to a lunch cost of just a bit more than eating at one of the fast food places in the park -- and it was great food in a full service sit down restaurant. Additionally, the ambiance was amazing. It's set literally in the pirates ride space. You used to be able to hear the crickets and see the fireflies. Now with the new position of the dirty dish station, neither happens. Service used to be excellent however it's not that great now. Portions used to be large. Now they're tiny (literally the entire meal did not fill up 1/2 of the plate). And the entree lunch prices are now really expensive. All in all, if you haven't been, and it's a hot day, it might be nice to sit in the cool environment and see people enter the ride on the boats. Be prepared though to spend around $60+ for lunch for two. A better bet would be to ask the host if you could just peak inside and see if you want to try it out.
