LeCellier.... can't get dinner

[Claudia1]

I was online on my first day to make ressies trying to get dinner at LeCellier's and can't get anything for early Spril. Even today, with a confirmed ressie, I can't get one table, over 180 days out.

We have not been able to eat dinner at LeCellier's since the dining plans started.

Argh! Why are dates over 180 days already full? What is the trick to getting dinner there?

Don't give up. I'm going to Disney in less than a month now and only booked the trip a couple months ago. There were no Le Cellier ADRs at first, but several have opened up over the past couple months. Just yesterday they had openings for dinner and lunch every day of the 9 days we will be there so I was able to switch my late lunch to an earlier one (which prior had been a dinner on a day I decided we don't want to go to Epcot).

Same thing happened with Chef Mickeys. They had only really late ADRs for the week we'll be there and suddenly a whole bunch opened up.

Good luck!

Did you try all your dates that you will be there? Usually you can get one towards the end of your trip if you use 180+10 (not just 180) and if you are staying more than a few days. Less other on-site guests have had the chance to book those later days.

Or try for lunch - I just randomly searched for lunch for 4 on 4/5 and two choices came up.

I check every day several times a day for about 2 weeks and got Le Cellier just one week out of my vacation. So don't give up.

I had the same thing happen. I check in early April and could get no Le Cellier dinners for the entire trip. I checked 4pm and later. And I have a resort reservations so could go 10 days out. No luck. Tried again this morning just in case. No luck. My husband and I were both up at 3am CA time trying too. I wish you luck and understand your frustration. I feel it, too.

Yes, I tried everyday of my vacation and I do have lunch ressies as back-up. Thanks for the encouragement. I'll just keep trying.

OK, everybody sing along, to Dory's little tune, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming"!

Just keep trying, just keep trying....

If you are looking for dinner after the switch to 2 credits you need to CALL to make the ressie...

Since you can't make it online but have to call directly, there are plenty of open slots

I got one for mid March, no problem... could have had any day, any time I wanted!

BTW, there have been a couple of threads on this, but clearly we need to keep getting the word out

I called and I got it!!!!

Thanks for the info! Sometimes the search engine does not give me what I need and I'm glad I asked for help

Thanks!!!

Where did you find dates for 2011? I was assuming it would be in Feb too... I don't want it to be the weekend of the 5th, I have DHS planned for that Saturday!

I'm guessing the online booking problem is from the change over to 2 TS credits starting in March???

Yep. I have heard they didn't want people to book and not know it would be 2 TS credits.

Originally touring plans had it at the last week in Feb as thats the normal time, but I guess Disney moved the Princess Marathon into that weekend.

Disney then posted the Espn the weekend run on March 5th which means everyone is assuming it'll be that weekend. Its not definite but with the race being that weekend its likely

I called at the earliest possible moment on the first day I could make reservations and I got the last spot available for the week i will be there in March and it's at 4:20. I was in WDW at the time and checked at concierge and called every day at least once a day and have called every day since to try and get a later dinner. No luck. I'm jealous of the few people I've heard get whatever time they want for March.
