Le Cellier and Cape May-too much?

[mmtska]

As of right now, we have Le Cellier booked at 1130 and Cape May at 530. I don't want to get rid of either because Le Cellier was a request, and Cape May is my 'request' but I'm not sure what we could do about this. I have 50s, CRT and WCC booked on the other 3 nights, and those are all requests too.

My thing is, is this going to be way too much too close?

Sounds like you will need a wagon ride. It may be hard to walk being that full with those 2 meals soo close.

Could you push the Cape May ADR to a later time?

If I recall correctly Le Cellier for lunch is a bit lighter than for dinner. I know we had Le Cellier for lunch last year at 1:00 PM and were fine for dinner at 'Ohana's at 6:45 PM. I ate two good meals. I just had a bagel for breakfast though.

And I'm a 6'1" guy who weighs 145 pounds so I am by no means a guy who just eats a ton of food.

Ditto on this suggestion. They are both two of our favorite restaurants, so it would be a shame to see you forfeit one.

Oh man, that is way too much food too close together. I know you're trying to accomplish a certain amount of ADR's, but wow, you're not going to enjoy it at this rate. Sacrifice one and save it for a later trip.

When we were in Disneyland this past September, DH just HAD to go to the Thunder Mountain BBQ (similar to the Hoop-Dee-Do, but smaller and shorter). It was 11:30 and we had ADR's at Steakhouse 55 at 6pm. We ate and enjoyed our lunch, but tried to be mindful of having big dinner plans as well. Come time for our dinner, we were not even hungry. We went just cause we had the ressie and didn't want to pass the opportunity, but we certainly didn't enjoy it. We were still stuffed from the heavy meal at lunch.

My rule now is one big TS meal a day, be it lunch or dinner, and smaller snacks/CS in between. At the price of these ADR's, we want to enjoy them to their fullest.

If you can't move the reservations farther apart, I'd really suggest deleting one and going for something lighter.

You'll walk so much at Disney that you'll be ready

I did check for a later time at Cape May and I had a choice of 6:50 and 8:15. I kind of wanted to make it back for Illuminations, so the 815 is out. Think we'd have a chance of doing the 650 one and making it back??

That funny we have Le Cellier booked at 11:50 and Cape May at 8:30pm on the same day. We are late eaters. Its 8pm and I am just now putting dinner on the table. I don't think I could eat 2 meals so close together, but its a good combo steak/ seafood.

I think so. Just make sure to check in a little before your ADR time. I've never had to wait more than 10 or 15 minutes past my ADR time at CMC. Since it's buffet, it's not like you have to wait for your server to take your order and bring the food. You are just a 5 minute walk from the IG entrance to Epcot. Ask your server to bring you check early on so you don't have to sit and wait for it at the end of the meal.

I think you would be ok. Le Cellier lunch is not near as filling as some places and you will have a whole afternoon to walk it off. I might try showing up at Le Cellier a little early (unless they open at 11:30) and you should be ok.

I think you will be okay.

We had breakfast/brunch one day after 10am at Tusker House and then Ohana at 5 pm

While the plans could have been better, we still managed to get our money's worth at both places

I would take the 6:50 ADRs at Cape May. or hope they don't seat you in time at 5:30 and take your time eating. I think its close the times you have right now. If you do get seated before 7pm, it shouldn't take you more than an hour to eat. I assume Illuminations is at 9pm? Its only less than a 10 min walk from Epcot to BC.
