How much of a chance at Le Cellier...?

[Mocharilla]

How likely do you think it'd be that I could get an ADR for early August right now at Le Cellier? I've heard it goes fast. Should I just not get my hopes up or at least try?

. Should I just not get my hopes up or at least try?

Yes to both - you may be pleasantly surprised, but I wouldn't count on it. It's always worth a phone call though...

I don't think I would have taken the time to post the question. I would have just called. Time's a wastin! If you can't get them, then come back and ask for suggestions.

Problem is, we're not booking till tomorrow night. But, the first thing I will do after I book is call and try to make it!

Someone says we should sleep on it.

I called yesterday for August 12th and they were booked solid. They were also booked for the 14th. I finally got the 13th at 8:50. I'm going to keep calling though.

You do not have to have a reservation at a Disney Resort in order to make dining ADRs. Its a shame you didn't call for ADRs as soon as you decided on your dates. DH and I are staying offsite but we still have 8 ADRs for our April/May trip.

I tried for any evening of the week of August 10 - August 16 and couldn't get anything ... therefore I chose to do the lunch and I am still going to be going to le Cellier.

Translation: You probably won't be able to get a dinner ADR, but you might be able to snag a lunch ADR.

We just booked our trip a couple of weeks ago for 4/20-4/26, now less than a month away First we had very difficult luck with a resort reservations. But something opened up, then a better one and we are booked at BC for the 5 of us. A great Disney specialist TA got the best stuff for us, quickly, efficiently at no extra cost. Next I had her try ADRs for us. As I know Le Cellier is probably the most difficult one to snag, of course, I asked her to try. First all booked, then she arranged a lunch time for 4 (but not our 5) but I grabbed as a good positive option. A few days later she snagged a perfect 7:00 dinner for 5 on the day we are planning on being at EPCOT! She's on the phone with Dis CRO all the time. I had to do nothing.

You can do it yourself if you have the time, or have a pro do it for you...but, if you are persistent, I absolutely beleive you can get what you want. Resort and Dining reservations change all the time, constantly.

Go for it.

I just booked a lunch reservation today for our June trip. I am not exactly sure of our dates yet, but I just grabbed a lunch for a day I'm pretty sure we'll be there. No need to have anything else booked in order to book an ADR! Good luck!

Why is Le Cellier so tough to get? I mean, I like Le Cellier and all, but wow . . .

If you really want Le Cellier, I would keep calling back. We went last September during free dining and didn't make the decision about going on the trip until June. On my first call to make ADR's, I was able to snag both Le Cellier (for lunch) and CRT (for dinner). The CM was amazed that she found both of those for me. So, keep trying....you never know!

I've read all these posts about Le Cellier and was completely clueless to all this. Last week decided to book a trip for this July to WDW with the DlxDDP for the first time ever.(never eaten at a WDW restaurant before) Two days ago I made all my ADR's and was surprised to hear from the CM that Le Cellier still had a few available at 8:00 on the day i wanted,so ya never know. Good luck with yours.

We tried for a dinner ADR for Aug. 12th and the only time we could get was for lunch. I would try and keep trying.

Try to be flexible with your times and you might have a better chance of getting it. We just called a couple of weeks ago and got one for our May trip. Just keep trying... even if you can't get it before your trip, try to call from your resort room the day before... occasionally you might get something.

We called at 6 am on 180 days out for our August trip and luckily we got everything (I think we have a 5:50 at Le Cellier...something like that).

We decided a few weeks ago to do a few days in May and we got an ADR for Le Cellier for 7 pm but there were only two times available (the other was around 5 so they were probably cancellations).

Just keep calling and trying. Cancellations are made all the time, but they're also gobbled up quickly, so keep calling every few days and cross your fingers.

Yes keep calling. We ate there on Sunday the weekend before Easter as a walk in at 5 o'clock. We were in shock. We had eaten in France real quick thinking nothing about Le Cellier and as we were leaving WorldShowcase seen a CM taking reservations. We asked not thinking we would get in if there were any seats. To our amazment she said "yes you can walk right in" HOLY COW. We walked in and they said right this way. So there must of been alot of cancelations that day. So check all the time you never know.

I just made ADR for Le Cellier during week of August 17. Dinner time was not open the day I wanted, so I went with lunch at 11:55. The lunch menu looked delicious as well.

We tried for a dinner ADR for Aug. 12th and the only time we could get was for lunch. I would try and keep trying.

I just changed my Le Cellier ADR from Aug 12th @ 8:25 to Aug 11th last Friday. They had 2 times on the 11th for me to pick from. So unless its taken by now they should have a 8/12 @ 8:25 open. I called the Wilderness Lodge club desk and let them make it for me insted of the dinning number so that may have something to do with it. Keep trying.
