Question about Le Cellier ADR Time

[Buttercup2009]

Today is my 90 day mark and I was fortunate enough to get all the ADR's I wanted this morning, but my question is....I have a 7:25pm ressie for Le Cellier and I'm wondering if that will give us enough time to finish up before Illuminations start? It is just me and my best friend on this trip. This will be my first visit to WDW so I don't really know how long dining usually takes.

On our last visit, Le Cellier took close to 2 hours from check in to check out, but it was fairly busy. It may depend on how busy they are.

DH and I ate at Le Cellier the 1st week of free dining. We had a 6pm reservation and ate a 3 course meal and we were done by 7:15pm. The couple next to use decided to ask for their desert as a take out so they could eat it later whilst watching Illuminations (they were given plastic spoons to use too in the bag). Perhaps you could do this if you think you are going to be short on time.

Thanks to both of you for your replies!

That's a great idea to get the desert to go and eat it while watching Illuminations, so I think we'll be fine if we do that. Thanks!

Congrats on Le Cellier! What date are you going to be there? Just curious if the date given was your first choice or not? And did you go online to make your reservations or call in? I believe if you go online you can do so at 6:00 am eastern time? Call in starts at 7 am? Correct?

 

[Buttercup2009]

Yes that's correct....you can book online starting at 6am which is what I did or you can call for your reservations beginning at 7am. I got Le Cellier for Dec. 1st and that was my first choice. Thankfully all the restaurants that I chose were first choice, except that I called at 7am to get the Fantasmic dinner package with Mama Melrose and it was booked so I had to go with Hollywood and Vine. I'm kind of worried about that one after reading a lot of bad reviews but I'm going to give it a shot any way.
