Le Cellier - No more Candlelight Processional Pkg?

[chasingthtdream08]

Is Le Cellier no longer an option for lunch or dinner for the Candlelight Processional package? That's disappointing. As if I'm not already overpaying for Dining Plan, I can't get reserved seating for the CP now when eating at one of the finer establishments at Epcot. Me, bitter? Nah.

Why would you think that? Candlelight Processional information won't be available for months yet. Did you hear something?

ETA-Oh wait, it looks like it wasn't part of it last year. I haven't kept up obviously.

That ended in 2013 when Le Cellier became a "signature" restaurant and started costing 2 credits on DDP. There have never been any "signature" restaurants on the CP packages.

it's not a great value at 2TS credits... I guess at some restaurants but I'm just planning on doing it OOP.

So they're not even doing the package if I pay OOP? It's just done. Silly. You'd think Disney would offer even if they have it has not available on the DDP, just OOP.

They no longer offer the packages for Le Cellier at all. It was removed from the list as of 2013 when it went signature. ("Signature" designation is not just about DDP)

Monsieur Paul, the other signature at EP, is also not included. Considering dinner at Le Chefs is $75 and that is NOT a signature restaurant, I'd imagine the cost point for Le Cellier or Monsieur Paul would just be too high for most people to pay it. Add to that the complication of how many dining credits you'd need to charge for those, and no one would be willing to pay it, OOP or DDP.

It has nothing to do with whether you pay OOP or with the DDP. It has everything to do with it being a signature restaurant. The signatures aren't part of the package.

IMHO, it wasn't that good as a 1-TS-Credit meal.

I meant the candlelight processional packages. It bumps all of the 1TS restaurants up to 2TS when you add the package, unlike the fantasmic package.

And the only thing "signature" is the pricing LOL!

 

[chasingthtdream08]

Thanks all for the info! My personal opinion, instead of taking it away from the signature restaurants in the park, you'd think they'd take the reserved seating away from some of the lower cost meal options to encourage people to eat at the more expensive restaurants. Just my two cents.
