I read several posts that the wait stafff seem to be not as nice to people who prepaid for their dinners under the CP package versus regular diners.

We have a CP dinner ressie at Chef de France on 12/28 for 11 people and I am a little concerend.

How was your experience?

Thanks
 
We have always gotten great service at Le Cellier with the package. Service at San Angel Inn and Alfredo's has been rushed (not sure if it was due to package or not) and choices have been limited. We won't go back to those locations.
 
We were treated fine with our CP at the Rose and Crown last week. However, when we had another dinner at Chefs de France, the waiter seemed excited that we were not CP diners. Perhaps the included gratuity comes up a little short of what they usually get?
 

Last year we went to both Le Cellier and Teppanyaki on the CP package...we were treated wonderfully at both places.
 
We ate at Akershus on 12/12 with the package and had great service.
The gratuity is added on to their paychecks and they are usually taxed at a higher rate than normal. But they are guaranteed 15% whereas you never know what you are going to get otherwise.
 
We ate at Le Cellier and I have to say we had the BEST service!!! We loved Karrie so much!!! (in fact I am wanting to send a note to her boss telling how awesome we thought she was!!).

We will go back to Le Cellier again and again - - Canada became my favorite "country" after our amazing experiences there last week (other CMs were so great to us - in the store, at the carts, everywhere in Canada we were treated so wonderfully!).

Definitely try to go to Le Cellier if you can!

Shhhhh!!!! Stop telling people that. It is already hard enought to get a PS there ;).

Seriously, over the past few years we have definitely found Le Cellier to not only be one of the best restaurants in Epcot, but one of WDW's best.
 
We at at Le Cellier with the CP package on 12/6, and were treated beautifully!

Great food, great service, terrific waiter.

LOL! Uhhhh, oh yeah, good point! "Don't" go to Le Cellier, it's just an okay place! ::yes::
 
My mother and I ate at Le Cellier on 12/12 for CP. Food and service were exceptional! I can't imagine how our server could have been nicer!

Erin :D
 
we were treated great!! all of the diners at our table were on the package and none had any problems or treated differently than paying guests. our chef was great! he was from fort worth, texas!!! have a super time.
 
We had great service at LeCellier. Our waiter really went out of his way. We asked for bags to carry our leftovers, he went to the store to get them! I left him an extra tip on the table.
 
We at at San Angel Inn on 12/10 and didn't have any problems. They let us order pretty much anything we wanted on the menu. The food was well prepared and arrived in a timely manner :) We only had a choice of one dessert though ... they called it a flan but it seemed to be more of a custard square with a light caramel sauce. I thought it was tasty :)
 
We were at Garden Grill for the 12/12 CP. We actually had better service this time than last August. Our server was wonderful. In fact, the food was better this time too. Wonder why.
 
This year on 12/11/03 at Teppanyaki and everyone at our grill had CP package.We were treated great and chef did a wonderful job and food was great.::yes:: :wave2: :cool1:
 
We chose Teppanyaki for our 12/11 CP dinner package. Shared the table/grill with a family of 5 who did not have the package. Service was excellent!
 
I agree with the poster who wrote that when we said we were *not* on the CP package, the waiters seemed to be happier. It's like they asked us with trepidation in their voices, and when we said, no, not CP package, they actually brightened up a bit. This was at Rose and Crown.
 
I am a true lurker here, but I just have to add my experience here...

We have done the CP eating in Canada for the past few years. Love the food and the service... just can't bring ourselves to go somewhere else. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience this past week. Our server was awful. We all agreed that she knew she had a tip coming and therefore didn't make any effort. She NEVER checked on us. We had ordered wine on top of our package and I honestly didn't think my poor husband was ever going to get his (which was well worth the wait, I must add). Food was great (as usual) and the people that brought us our food were cheery and attentive, but our server was AWFUL (and not just by Disney standards). We normally are very generous tippers, but not this time. I would still go there in a heartbeat though!
