Does Le Cellier take walk ups?

[Puncek]

I've tried five years in a row, every January (during the 'down-time'), and have been unsuccessful in getting into LeCellier without a reservation. Good luck!

While waiting to be seated we saw no less then ten different parties walk in, three had reservations, everyone else was sent away. And this was at the start of dinner service too, at 4:00 PM, when restaurants aren't generally busy.

I think the trend of this thread is pretty clear......with a little luck you stand a chance during lunch, but dinner walk ups just don't happen. We ate there twice for dinner last week and saw numerous walk up requests turned away.

My girlfriend and I were waiting for our table there on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and we were amused at the number of people trying to walk up. One group must have had 8 or 9 people in it.... I mean, really people, think that one over the next time you decide not to make reservations for one of the busiest days of the year! The mother of another family got really upset when they were turned away, and she began to yell at her son for delaying them. Apparently, at 5.30 they felt they would have been fine walking up, but at 6.00 it was too late and it was all his fault! I felt bad for the kid, he was basically being told that if he wasn't so committed to having fun that day, they could have made it to dinner, which of course is both antithetical to the spirit of Disney and from what I witnessed, completely untrue.
Short answer..... either make a reservation, get right with God (I mean, really, really right... it wouldn't hurt if you had a regular squash game with the holy spirit), or else don't count on it.

Right at opening time for lunch maybe. Dinner= not likely. I try to eat dinner there every trip and have always had to wait quite a while past my ADR time.

DH and I were there in the first week of October 2006 during F&WF and MNSSHP... when you would think people would be worried about places OTHER than Le Cellier.... but we called on the FIRST DAY and could not get a single dinner reservation for the entire week We had little trouble elsewhere... It's just that good, I guess. Our first time there will be in January, when, needless to say, we have a ressie. lol
