How much time should I allow for a relaxing dinner at Le Cellier?

Right now I have a 6:00 PS for a Le Cellier dinner - will we be able to do appetizers, dinner, & dessert and still make it over to the 7:45 parade?

If there isn't a wait associated with your PS, yes, but if there is, then there is no hope. I've eaten at Le Cellier twice, once I was seated promptly, the second time I had to wait 40 minutes even with a PS. Le Cellier, is a very small place and it can get crowded even with PS's. I would say that if your night will be ruined by not seeing the parade, I'd move your PS up, if you really don't care, then leave it as is.

I agree with jel0511, it depends upon how crowded Le Cellier is that evening. Just because you have PS doesn't mean you will be seated right away. If the parade means a lot then bump up your PS. Enjoy Le Cellier, its a great restaurant!

Thanks, guys! I moved my PS to 5:30......better safe than sorry....... this parade was the favorite of my 2 DD's last year, so I don't want to miss it.

Good call on the move. Murphy's law will probably come into play and you will have plenty of time before the parade. Enjoy

WE usually like to PLAN on 2hrs. for a meal, just in case we have to wait to be seated and service is slow,also to have time to freshen up before heading off for our next "adventure"

I also have been concerned about my P.S. time. at Le Cellier.
We have 5:40 PS's and have to make it back across the Lagoon for the CandleLight Procession on 12/2.
We were hoping to make it back over to the American Pavillion and watch the TOD Parade while on line for the C.P.

And I'm really hoping we can take the boat over,because I know we will not feel up to running all the way around after a big meal! LOL.

I could not get an earlier time.But I'll check that morning in case of cancellations.

We intend to check-in about 1/2 hour earlier, hoping that helps.
I agree. Sometimes ,you can get in there without P.S's and only have a 15min. wait, othertimes even with a P.S, you could wait much longer .
Since you're going in Jan., you should be alright, hopefully park won't be too crowded.
Have Great trip.

Our longest wait is at Le Cellier. Last one was 45+ minutes with a PS. My feeling is when there is a wait the will try to rush you out. I tihnk that with a 5:30 you should have enough to make if they don't throw you out first
