Le Cellier Refurb?

[ChiBub]

Is Le Cellier being refurbished this fall? Today is my 180-day mark, and I cannot find a single reservation at any time of day on October 1 or later. There are reservations available all the way through September, but come October, nothing. Anyone have any info?

I think your 180 day mark is 4/3 or 4/4- I use this calculator when we're planning - it may not be 100% but I think July and August push it back some since they're longer months

Above is correct. It's not time yet. The calendar on the dining page won't even go past Sept 30. Today is the 180 day mark for Sept 29 check in. You can start your ADR's on April 4 for a Oct 1 check in.

If they are arriving 9/28 or sooner then they can book dining for 10/1. It's 180+10.

I am staying on property, so I made reservations for my whole week (through 10/6) this morning. I should have more that originally. I'm curious to see if anyone else has a similar experience unable to book at Le Cellier in October as dates start opening.

Same here - today was our 180 plus 10 - up and on at 6:00 am EST sharp. We got everything else no problem - CRT, BOG dinner, Chef Mickey, etc. Le Cellier had (and has) nothing open starting October 1. Called at 7:00 am and nothing was available for any date in October, the staff agreed it was odd but didn't have an explanation of course.

We did get something for 9/29 - but wanted 10/4. I looked every day I could in October (through 8th) and there was nothing for any number of guests for lunch or dinner. Options available in September - went back and they had reservations from this month and every month but October available. Very strange. ADR said they didn't have any notes about refurbishment, maybe some glitch with October not released? I'll keep checking. It is a harder one to get but we've never had any trouble when scheduling at the end of the trip. Friends going the same week and they encountered the same thing for Le Cellier.

So you were able to book ADRs for other restaurants through 10/6 just not Le Cellier?

Correct - everything else was available. But like I said, Le Cellier is harder to book - but we've never had issues. We booked CRT, BOG dinner (for 8 no less at a 5:30 pm spot), Ohana dinner and breakfast, Tusker House, Chef Mickey, Tiffins River of Light package, and some other Epcott options. In the past, I've found some of these other ones much more difficult than Le Cellier - so I think there is something going on with October and the release of tables? Usually Le Cellier will have something right at 180 - let alone toward the end of the trip - at least for lunch.

I would call the dining reservations line and inquire. That’s just strange. I agree le cellier shouldn’t be that hard.

As of today the October dates are open and there are decent times/number of guests at least through October 6th (end of my trip). They must have opened October late into the system.

I think that’s a thing with LC. When we booked res in Feb 17 for Aug 17, we got everything we wanted for a large group... except LC for 4. It opened a few days later.
