ADR for Le Cellier?

[loopner67]

I've made most of our ADRs for a bunch of other meals. On top of that, my DH and I are considering going to Le Cellier one evening (Alone - putting our 2 boys in a kid's club. ). We thought we'd just decide when (what day & time) when we get to WDW, but now I'm wondering if we have to make this reservation *now* to be sure that we get a seat in this restaurant? Is it that popular? My husband suggested it about a week ago and I've only heard great things, so I'm very excited about going to this restaurant. It will also be nice for us to have some time in Epcot alone while the boys are preoccupied and taken care of in the kid's club (we're staying at the WL and hopefully can get them in the one that hotel has to offer).

I'll bet you'll all say to make the reservation now, huh? Don't hold back, tell me what you really think. I should add that we're going from 3/3 - 3/10.

Hi Lisa,

Le Cellier is a popular restaurant, so I'd advise you to make the ADR, unless you are extremely flexible about your seating time (very early or very late). It sounds like your flexibility will be limited by the kids club!

Why not make them now? They are free and you can always try to change the time and/or date as you get closer. Meanwhile, at least you have a spot!

Enjoy,
Bob

Absolutely make an ADR now! Le Cellier is very popular and from what you'll read around here, many people get turned away as walk-ups for dinner. I've had lunch there before and it is a very good restaurant. Good luck.

LeCellier is one of the hardest restaurants to get into without an ADR. You need to make one.

I'm going to echo what the others said, especially since you want to eat dinner and not lunch. Def book a seating time! The restaurant gets quite busy in the evening and it is COMPLETELY random when, and if, Le Cellier takes any walk-in's. If you don't know what date you want, make a couple of bookings and just be sure to cancel the one you don't want once you figure it out.

Cheers!

I just made an ADR for LeCell for the first week of May and it wasn't available for dinner for my first 2 days I wanted and settled for the third day at 7:20PM. The other 2 days only had seatings left for 4:00PM and after 8:30PM. I strongly suggest you call and be flexible. You may have to have several evenings in mind to find a seating time. Remember you can make more than one and cancel the one you don't want. Good Luck!

Thank you to everyone who responded. Your input was greatly appreciated.

I was able to easily make a dinner reservation and also was able to get my sons into the Cubs Den for that same night. We are very excited to be able to have a night out alone since we're going to be in WDW 2 months prior to our 10 year wedding anny and we honeymooned in Disney at the POLY.

Thanks again.
