Made ADR's today - CALL for LeCellier dinner and other tips!

[sandym718]

Got everything we wanted this AM!! Very happy but I had a few "scary" moments. Got online at 6 AM this morning. Tried to make LeCellier dinner ressie for our last trip day (so 180 +7) - NOTHING. Kept searching...Nothing for the entire trip (for dinner). Went on to my other ADR's. Unable to book CRT lunch without paying in full, even after linking my Ressie (with DDP). Had to call anyways, right at 7 AM, for a MM Fantasmic Pkg. So I did CRT by phone with just a guarantee, also a guarantee for F! pkg. Had them check LeCellier - got the exact time we wanted (6 PM) on the day we wanted. The ressies just aren't available online for some reason. I didn't ask why - I had to get the kids ready for school. Wonder if it's just the dinner ressies after March 1, when they become 2 TS credits??

So it seems CRT is still not working correctly at all times online, so call for that if you don't want to pay. A breakfast ADR, though, so hard to get - might be worth just paying and getting refunded to get that ressie at 6 AM. We wanted lunch and got our exact time when I called, no problem.

Oh, and got Mama Melrose F! pkg for 5 PM - 8:30 F! showing, 5 Pm is the latest dinner time.

Happy Camper here!! Just wanted to share what I "learned" today!

Oh, thank you! I thought I was crazy for not seeing any Le Cellier reservations online and posted in a couple other threads but no one ever said anything back about it so I was thinking maybe it was just me...

I also cant LOOK my reservation up online but I called when I noticed that and they confirmed they could see it with my telephone # and confirmation # - I need to call and ask them to send me some kind of proof!

Went online at 4 am (California time) and had no problem making Le Cellier lunch reservation. Didn't try for dinner. We'll see how things go for lunch at Crystal Palace. Then I get to skip this on Wednesday, back on Thursday. Whew.

Same thing happened to me Saturday. Couldn't get Le Cellier online, but got a table for 6 at 6:05PM on my birthday March 26th.

I think the reason that Le Cellier is not showing up on line is that March is when it is switching to 2TS meals on the dining plan and they probably want people to call in so that the cm can let people know it will be 2TS for dinner

I'm pretty sure the 2 TS switch has something to do with it - but they do put it right there in the restaurant info that after March 1, it's 2 TS for dinner. (online I mean) The CM who made my ressies did mention it - but not any more "strongly" than she did for CRT. It all worked out great for me - but if it's going to stay this way for awhile - it would be nice if they'd Mention it online!! As in - you need to call Disney Dining for this ressie. Instead of it just showing no availablity!

I totally agree but not everyone is familiar with the 2TS dinner change and not everyone reads everything on the screen. I just think they are being cautious so that people can't put up a stink at the restaurant saying they didn't know about the change

THANK YOU for this info!!! I've been a bit stressed because I wasn't seeing any Le Cellier dinner ressies available when I'd "test" the online system, either. I can't make my 180 +10 ADRs til October 8th, but this is #1 for most of my family, so I'll be calling first thing in the morning!

Oh how I wish I would have read your post before I tried to book CRT today...ugh!! I was charged and unable to book it with dining credits! I called and got it straightened out..apparently they are updating the website!
