DD LOVES the dessert that you get at Le Celier-you know..the Moose.. anyway, I was unable to get a resie for this summers trip. Any chance to get seated for just dessert?
I would keep trying to book something.. Even if its an off time of the day say 3pm.. Id say walk up is doubtfull in a busy time like summer BUT it never hurts to try.. but Id still keep trying to book online right up till you leave..
about zip-zero-zilch unless you're going during a very slow time of year. Summer is not slow time You can ask...maybe pixie-dust will occur!
Since they changed Le Cellier to signature for dinner (and there's different desserts on the dinner menu now...there is a no-sugar-added chocolate mousse, but it's not the "chocolate moose" version), the lunch bookings have gone up (because it's still 1 TS then) so will be difficult to find empty tables during afternoon.
That restaurant gets a tremendous amount of hype on the DIS and so is extremely popular.
But it isn't nearly as good as it is hyped up to be. You really won't miss much if you don't get a seating. I don't know if that makes you feel any better, but it is true.
Chance of getting in on a walk-up is close to zero.
However, if you have a reservation you do not have to order a full meal. You can order appetizers only, appetizers & dessert, dessert only, whatever. But they do not make orders to go.
It doesn't hurt to try, but don't count on it. I make reservations 3 months out sometimes! I don't see why everyone says it's not worth it though. I think it's incredible.
