What ADR is harder to get during Free Dining Le Cellier or CRT?

[1hero2princesses]

The title says it all. What ADR would you say would be harder to get during free dining? Le Cellier or CRT? I want to start with the right one. Or would you say it depends on the day of the week? Last year I was on the phone at 6am on my first possible day and could not get CRT breakfast for the days we were in MK but I did get lunch. Could not get Le Cellier lunch or dinner either of the days we were at Epcot. I think I will probably plan my days around my ADR's, although I will avoid Epcot on the weekend (Food and Wine Festival) and HS on Fantasmic days. I think it will be even tougher this year to get ADR's with the 90 day window. A lot of people doing free dining are a little more into research and may know to make their ADR's!

Since both are hard to get, my strategy would be to start with the one I want the most OR the one I have the least flexibility...

For instance, I wanted to be in the Magic Kingdom at Crystal Palace dinner on my son's 3rd birthday...well, his birthday is only 1 day...so I asked about that first (even though other things may be more difficult to get)

From what I have been seeing on the boards, Le Cellier dinner is by far the hardest reservation to score in all of WDW.

Le Cellier is harder, especially during free dining. A lot of people on the basic dining plan won't want to use 2 credits for CRT, but Le Cellier is one of the highest value 1 credit meals.

Le Cellier is harder.. 1 credit TS steak place... Bingo

It kind of depends~

In general Its harder to get Le cel than CRT
EXCEPT for that 8:05 breakfast seating, I still feel that particular meal and time is harder than le cel.

Another reason Le cel. is generally harder is it only has 2 meals a day (lunch/dinner) where CRT has 3 full meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner).
