Le Cellier

[MomWith2Cinderellas]

Wow!! I just called to make my reservations for our upcoming trip and I could not get in to Le Cellier for a 5-7:30 PM reservation at all from 12/1-12/5. The first available reservation at a time other than 9:30 PM was on 12/7! All my other reservations were pretty close to the times we wanted. Le Cellier is popular!!

Keep trying. I did my ADRs yesterday morning, and even within the 45 minutes that I was messing with it, different times opened up. I couldn't get the day that I wanted (any time, lunch or dinner), and then I couldn't get dinner during a range of days (looking around 5:30, 11/30-12/4). I ended up with a lunch on one day and a dinner at 4:30 (a bit earlier than I wanted, but I'm not picky!) on a completely different day (neither of those were the day that I planned). I think that the 4:30 pm ADR wasn't open when I initally looked, but it opened up. (I was messing with it from about 6 am to 6:45 am.) After discussing it with DH, I dropped the lunch ADR last night (it was for 11/30). I'm sure that there are others that will do the same.

The online ADRs just seem to be a revolving door, which I can see as a problem and a benefit. People will keep what they get until they can get something more to their preference - and that's when stuff will open for you. And, unlike calling and paying long distance fees, making online ADRs is free!

I tried on my first day and had no luck. It is almost impossible to eat there during the free dining promotions

I've gotten it last 3 years in Sept. for free dining and got it again this year, but called first available day I was allowed to at open. People do cancell and change plans around alot so do not give up and keep checking it from time to time and be flexible w your times and dates with a little pixie dust it just might work out. GL

Elmo888, I am going to keep trying to get Le Cellier for one of the dates I listed. You are right, someone may decide to release an ADR and maybe I can scoop it up!

Tgropp, this is the first time that I called to make reservations and was having problems getting what I wanted. I do think the free dining promo (or room discount codes) has something to do with it. I wonder how packed the parks will be, seeing that ADR's are filling up quickly?

I am definitely flexible with the time, but just can't eat at 9:30 PM!! lol I am trying to get a ressie for when my DH will be with us. He loves this restaurant, but he is okay if we do not get to eat there as long as I secured an ADR for Yachtsman Steakhouse!

That doesn't sound good for us....we want to eat there on 12/4....I guess we will have to be flexible with our times, or may have to move around some other ADRs on other dates. That is the one ADR that I am really worried about...we have never eaten here before and my DH wants to try it badly. And since this trip was a surprise trip from my DH, I want to do something special for him in return.

yesterday 8/31, when I was booking my ADRs, Le Cellier was available on 12/5 for a party of 4, check again.

I would do what we are doing which is just keep checking for your date. The times at 8:00am this morning were for 9:25 PM and 9:30PM. Those times are just too late for us.

I am going to check again. If we can not get the time we want this trip, we will just have to make another trip to WDW to eat at Le Cellier!
