Le Cellier and Coral Reef for lunch?

[teacup princess]

So we're going in June and these are our ADR's:

6/12 - Brown Derby 5:30pm
6/13 - Akershus 4:45pm
6/14 - Coral Reef lunch 11:40/ Crystal Palace dinner 5:45 (big eating day)
6/15 - Boma dinner 5:10pm
6/16 - Chef Mickey's breakfast 10:55am
6/17 - Le Cellier lunch 11:50
6/18 - Boma breakfast 9am

I'm concerned about Coral reef and Le Cellier - lunch is all I could get. Is it just as good? Also, is 10:55 to late for Chef Mickey's? Hopefully we won't be scraping the bottom of all every pan.

What do you think? Feel free to critique anything else.

Lunch is about the same! The restaurant is nice and the food is pretty good. I love the atmosphere of Coral Reef but we never completed our meal there because our server was a monster! The apps did arrive on the table (actually they were slammed onto the table by the food carrier...some items fell off the plates). Those looked nasty! (Smell was bad too.) Service at Coral Reef was hideous last August. Le Cellier was nice, friendly people, and you hear all this hoopla about the soup...go for the Duck two ways! (I'd never think of ordering this myself but my hubby did and it was delicious!!!) I will be getting it next time!

We've had lunch at Coral Reef on our past 4 trips and will have lunch there again on our upcoming trip -- I'm sorry previous poster had a bad experience but we've never had anything but wonderful service and great food there! It is a GREAT place for lunch because it is cool and dark and very relaxing -- a wonderful break from the park that leaves you feeling well-fed and refreshed. I can't recommend Coral Reef for lunch highly enough based our own experience....

we prefer lunch at le cellier - same menu as dinner (basically) but we've never had a "do or die" problem getting lunch seatings compared to the frenzy for dinner - same at coral reef - plus lunch gets us out of the sun and heat into a welcoming cool, dark environment (and at the coral reef, that aquarium sure does tend to relax and de-stress you!)

Had great food and service at Coral Reef last August for lunch. In fact we were fashionable EARLY for lunch and were seated right away. There wasn't a morsel left on the table when we were done. I concur with the tank and dark unsea atmosphere mellowing us out. We left and headed back to the room. Nap time was very good that day!

We have done lunch and dinner at both, and the menus are similar. Since we are doing DXDP, we were able to choose a bunch of signature dinners and old favorites, so we used up our dinner slots pretty quickly. LC and CR are must do-s on the DP for us, so we just scheduled them for lunch. I called 180 days out, so I definetly could have chosen dinner instead, but it'll be nice having a delicious, somewhat restful air conditioned meal break midday.
