Le Cellier & Fantasmic Dining Package

[patpaxton]

Hi...we're visiting WDW April 18th-25th. Unfortunately Le Cellier is sold out for dinner each night of our stay. Wondering if anyone has to cancel their reservation if they could let me know first? We're a party of 3. Will make any night work. Same thing with the Fantasmic Package. No room for a party of 3 at any of the participating restaurants while we're there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Have you tried asking if there is a table for 4? I don't have any personal experience with this, but there are lots of threads here about how Disney limits the number of tables for certain parties. It's mainly been an issue for parties of 2, but maybe this is what you're running into as well. Worth a shot to ask.

Actually I made a reservation for 5 for the Fantasmic package at Brown Derby after reading these threads. Guess I'll have 2 sick kids that day. Hope it works!! That said, if anyone cancels a reservation for 3 for any Fantasimic restaurant that week, please let me know. Unfortunately, still nothing availabe at LeCellier. Amazing that an entire week in April can be totally booked. Still need help if anyone needs to cancel LeCellier!!

Is the Fantasmic package one of the reservations that charges you if your whole party doesn't show? I'm not sure, but I would hate for you to be charged if you show up with 3 people for a reservation for 5.

Also, is there an April ADR cancellation/exchange thread? I know that there is one for March floating around here somewhere.

Good luck!

Wow...never thought of that. Can't imagine they'd charge me for showing up with 3 instead of 5, but I guess you never know. I did have to leave a cc# to guarantee the reservation. And, yes, there is an April cancellation/reservation thread which I'll be checking often. Thanks for the thoughts.

Yes be careful with that one - it has been reported on these boards that if you show up with less people, they do charge.

Thanks for the advice. Here's another idea. Maybe there is a party of 2 looking for the same thing we are? If so, you're welcome to join us. That would give us 5. Kind of an odd suggestion, but why not? Would be fun meeting new people.
