Problems with tables being "loaded" at LeCellier?

[KangaFan]

Traveling with my in-laws in January and they really want to do LeCellier, but I am having trouble getting a lunch ADR not because its not available but because the tables are not yet loaded. Anyone else have this problem before?

I called last week and they said there were no reservations but now there are a couple but they can't make more. I was a little underwhelmed with the customer service when the CMs suggestion was for me to keep trying everyday.

This has been occuring for awhile now, apparently anticipating Le Cellier's move to being a signature restaurant all the time.

Sorry about the customer service, but there isn't anything else the cast member could have told you to do.

Also still waiting for LeCellier to open up for lunch reservations for January.

What else could the CM have done? If they are not loaded, they can't book it and they don't know when they will be loaded. It does not give them a time frame information for that.

And yes, sometimes there can be a delay as to loading tables. Le Cellier is going to signature status at all meals as of the first of the year (currently they are signature only at dinner).

We will be there for 20 days and can’t get anything during the lunch hours, even at the 180 day window. I did get Disney Dining to check everything out and they told me that they see no lunch reservations made during the dates I have been requesting. I hate to book an evening table and just get just to get Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and a Moosehead Pale Ale or two. Would like to get a House Burger but that’s only served on the lunch menu.
I see all Evening reservations have to have a Credit card included in the reservation.

Lunch is also going to need a credit card, and we don't know what will happen to the lunch menu next year since the restaurant will be a signature restaurant. No guarantees that the burger will remain on the menu.

I guess the CM I talked with didn't know it was going to be a Signature restaurant as of Jan 1. That makes sense. She only told me that there were some tables booked & it wasn't full, but she couldn't book any additional tables. With only that information, I guess I was thinking that would be something they would want to follow up on and then get back to me in case there was a glitch.

Does anyone know if the cash prices will be the same for lunch & dinner now that it will be 2 TS credits?

Thanks!

Nobody knows anything because the menus for next year aren't out yet, but personally i would not be surprised to see them go to one all-day menu.

For anyone else who was waiting, I was able to book a Jan reservation for Le Cellier today. According to the chart, it was 2 TS credits under the "Deluxe Dining Plan." Nothing was listed under the regular dining plan.

Don't lose hope on getting a burger because its signature dining -- some of the finer upscale restaurants in NYC have burgers on their menu. Its an expensive burger, but a good one nonetheless.

February is now available as well.

This is how they are listing most if not all restaurants for 2013 on the website, and it's causing confusion. These restaurants ARE on the regular dining plan.

Got my Le Cellier February 2013 lunch reservation yesterday.

For the two that were able to book in February - would you mind telling me the date? I've been trying to book lunch there for the 5th for a few weeks now, including today and was told by member services that nothing was available. I'll keep trying and am encouraged in the fact that you each got yours! Enjoy!

Thanks.

Our reservation is for the 25th. I just searched all other days that week and there are no times showing available any longer.

An update. Still waiting for a January openning. But we just returned last night from a quick weekend trip (OK 5 nights, but I call that a weekend). We ate at LeCellier on Monday (8/27) for lunch. I asked the server about 2013 and she confirmed that yes, it will be a signature lunch starting in January. She also said that she was told that the menu would be the same, though she had not seen it yet and didn't know much more than what the CMs are being told by their management. She said obviously the favorites would remain. I asked if there would still be "lunch" favorites, but she didn't know.

I have called everyday this week and am still being told that Le Cellier has not opened reservations yet for most of February. I am trying for race weekend in February.

This is really starting to get frustrating! I've had one CM tell me that, without a doubt, reservations have not opened yet. But all the rest say that it's open, just everything is booked. I even tried for a random early Tuesday, post PHM lunch when most of the crowd will probably be gone and still nothing. I have a very hard time believing that lunch fills up that fast with it jumping up to 2TS. Especially since the very first time I tried was at exactly 6 am on my 180 day, and then 7 am when I couldn't find anything online.

Right there with you. I was told somehow 5 tables were booked for the day I want during race weekend but the CM could not figure out how they were book OR why the rest couldn't be. I keep checking but nothing

I suspect they were loaded the day that they opened up online booking for Be Our Guest and then pulled again.
