Ok so I have not had any luck getting Le Cellier ADR's, Has anyone had luck getting in without ADR's? What are my chances of that??

When we were in Disney last week.......we walked over to Le Cellier....we were but minutes to late.......the couple in front of us got someones cancellation and we were out of luck......SO KEEP ON TRYING...even when you are there in Disney.....call or walk up .especially around 5ish.....hope this helps too

The times we have gone they are always turning people away or helping them find a place to eat elsewhere. Dont give up just keep calling, I snagged a dinner ressie 45 days prior to our trip and if you cannot get in for dinner go for lunch, it is awesome.

we called for our ADRs in March for our May trip and we got the last ressie they had for the whole week we were there. when we got there to check in they were turning ppl away left and right but the CMs were telling the guests other good countries to eat at which I thought was very nice.

keep calling. every day if you have to. and be very flexable to times if you really want to get in. maybe after you check into your hotel ask your concer. if they can help you out too. good luck!

I called last week for January and got the last ressie for the day I wanted, but it was 4:40pm. Not an ideal time, but worth it!

I made my reservations about a week ago (I think it was about 112 days out from our arrival day in January) and had no problem getting a reservation for lunch. I didn't try for dinner because we arive at the airport around 10:30 am and I figured I'd give us time to check in and relax at the resort and then go for a late lunch at Le Cellier (2:50 pm). When I called for reservations, the woman told me that reservations usually fill up fast, but I think it's mostly for dinner. So if you're trying for dinner, why not try lunch? You'll probably have a better chance of getting an ADR, and it's also a little cheaper!

I have tried everyday(sometime twice a day!) for the last 45 days with no luck. I have tried for lunch and dinner. This is the downside to a last minute vacation.

Look out for a cancellation thread for your month. We were just there last week during free dining. There was a cancellation thread for Sept where people would post that they were cancelling an ADR and would transfer it the Diser who wanted it. I was able to snag a 7:20PM dinner ressie for Le Cellier from that thread. The food was really good and so worth it! Good luck!

We called in March for a May ressie and all we could get was a 2:30pm. We took it and just considered it a late lunch. It was well worth it!

We have found with LeCellier which is one of our favorite restaurants which is a must not miss for us...that you get whatever time you can get. We have moved days around taking it for lunch or dinner or whatever spot opened up. We have been able to move it before because DH would call every other day or see and if some spots had opened.

What I noticed when we were there this past month is that if you dont have an ADR, they will turn you away. I have heard that some restaurants they will say, you can wait and try to get in, but they were telling everyone they had nothing available and recommending that people go dine at Chefs de France.

Good luck!

Where are the Cancellation threads by month?

I just called this a.m. and got a 7:10pm ressie for Feb. with no problem!!

If it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't have known how sought after ADRs are at Le Cellier. I've never been there before, but DH and I both love a good steak!

So, I decided to give reservations a call, and I managed to get the only reservation open for our entire trip (November 20-28th). It was for lunch at 12:50pm, which isn't a bad time!

I hope we enjoy it! Based on what everyone else has said, and the lack of open reservations, I'm sure it'll be great.

When we went last year, it was our first time using DDP and didn't know how important ADR's were. Fortunately our AAA guy told us to get calling - but it was already a month out from our trip. I was fortunately able to get a lunch ADR, but all the dinner ADR's for our week (middle of June) were booked. It really is worth it. It's our favorite restaurant in all of WDW.

I called yesterday morning and snagged a lunch ressie for this coming weekend.

Cancellations do happen!

Keep trying if you really want to, as things change all the time, but I wouldn't get too worked up over it. It's a nice restaurant and all, but IMO it's not the be-all-and-end-all that the DIS hype would have it be.

I agree. It was on the list of restaurants kids requested this trip, but we are skipping it. It isn't worth the bother. I really don't get the hype. Not that we haven't liked it, but its easily replaced by other restaurants.

We dined there on Monday. While waiting to be seated several people walked in looking for a reservation at any time during the week and they were turned away. I'd imagine now with the Food & Festival going on, your chances have worsened. They turned away everyone without a ressie and I overheard them saying that they actually were overbooked. Kinda puzzling cuz throughout our whole meal at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, there were empty tables. Strange.
