Can't Get Le Cellier or Rose and Crown For December Yet

[jhaig]

I called yesterday on my 180-day mark and was told there is no availability yet for these two places for December. The CM said it was because they haven't "loaded" their days into the system yet? What does that mean and should I call every day to check?

Same thing happened to me this morning with LeCellier (lunch) and Coral Reef (dinner). I guess we just keep trying, but it does make it harder to plan.

keep trying. Le Cellier was full but I kept trying & finally got in!

I was told that they haven't opened the restaurants up for any bookings because they're trying to organise what's happening with the Candlelight Processional packages. The CM said to keep trying and that they may open up at the end of June/July.

It has been annoying me. Initially I thought Le Cellier had booked out for my day though I was online at 6am. I've booked something else tentatively just in case but GRRRR.

Every year at this time, many Epcot restaurants have super limited availability. This is fully due to Disney holding back many tables waiting for CP packages to be released. Once the CP packages are released, many reservation slots will open (both normal and, of course, CP).

They do this so as to make sure that they block out enough slots for CP, so they overshoot. It's much better (albeit, annoying) than underestimating the table count for CP and having to either cancel ADRs that have been made, or overbook the restaurant by a large amount.

Bear with it and keep your eyes out for CP info, once they become bookable, snatch up those extra ADRs

Yep, hunting for that Rose and Crown ADR too..I'm counting on my fellow DISers to let me know when I will be able to get one

Got everything else we wanted and have alternate ADR made for now.

I can't get Rose & Crown either. I guess this is the reason? Although I didn't think the CP had anything to do with R&C??? I'm confused..

Yup, it's the reason.

They offer dining packages at select Epcot restaurants (okay, most of them) for the Candlelight Processional that allow those with packages to enter the theater before any standby guests. Sort of like the Fantasmic package at DHS.

I called a CM today with a question regarding my 180 days tomorrow and threw in the CP date question as well. Her answer was bookings will open June 26!

 

[Disneymadhouse]

I'm waiting to be able to book Garden grill!

Hope the CM's are correct and we will be able to book on 26th June!

There are four restaurants where all reservations for December are being held in preparation for release of the Candlelight packages: Le Cellier, Garden Grill, Rose & Crown and Coral Reef.

I called last Tuesday at my 180 day mark and was told that it would be up that afternoon. Of course, it was not. I'm still trying to get them. Hopefully, they will be available on the 26th.

 

[StitchesFaiyth]

We heard the same thing when we called to book early December. We'll just check again the 26th!

I realize that I chose the two least popular restaurants in Epcot, but I had NO problems booking then re-booking at San Angel Inn and Restaurant Marrakesh. If you are dead-set on a popular place, you may need to be patient. But if you are willing to go off the beaten path, you will find some availability

 

[StitchesFaiyth]

Just snagged a 1pm lunch for Le Cellier the first week of December! Everyone might want to go check to see if ADRs are available now.

 

[RaySharpton]

Yea!
