Saturday, June 23....Epcot
Le Cellier Dinner

I noticed that it was nearing 3:30 and we had an ADR time of 4:10 at Le Cellier. So we decided to leave The Seas and head on over to Canada.

Side Note: I had debated for a couple of days now whether or not to do a dining review. I have decided not to do one and will just post here our meals and pictures. I’ll also post the food pictures on the “food porn” thread.

Rob & I were very excited about going to Le Cellier as we had never been there before. I had done my research on All Ears looking at menus and, of course, drooled over the photos on the food porn thread. I had practically already known what I was going to order. As we are nearing Canada we look down at Brooke and she is asleep in the stroller. Oh no…not for our first sit down meal! What are we going to do with her?

I walked into Le Cellier…

…and I waited to check us in. The couple in front of us was asking if they could get a ressie to eat tonight. The CM kindly said, “I’m sorry but we are completely booked for dinners until July 7th.” Whoa! I knew it was hard to get into the place but didn’t realize how booked they were. The couple was totally stunned and wanted the CM to help them make another ADR for someplace else in the Showcase. They only places available were Marrakesh, Biergarten, and Teppenaki. The couple shook their head and thanked them. I guess they weren’t DISers, eh?

So, as I checked us in I asked if we could possibly have a table that we could bring the single light-weight stroller in. They said it would be no problem. I ran outside and told Rob & the boys to come on in and bring Sleeping Brookie. The room was crowded with people waiting to be seated but we did fit in. We had prime view of the CMs singing “O Canada!” in both English and French – at the same time. It was almost a show-off between 2 of the CM but it was very fun to watch.

We waited as everyone but we were seated and then they finally sat us with the stroller. We were seated in the Quebec room (which is the first room you walk in to). Our waitress was Tamara and she was absolutely great with everything. She explained the room, the breads, refilled everything without asking. She was “spot on”! We took a couple of pictures before we received our food.

Evan drinking a chocolate shake (yes part of the DDP) and Rob…

…and me & Alec.

We were seated next to a server station which I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not but it turned out that there was nobody on either side of us and we had more room, which was great as I had heard how some seats in here are very tight together. Everyone thought I was odd when I took this picture of the server’s station. I added Evan in there just to “make it look good”.

Right after I took that picture Rob asked, "Did you just take a picture of the server's station?" I said, "Of course I did. I have to show my friends on the DIS where we sat for my report." He just shook his head and said I was crazy and no one would care. Do you all care? Also, it was the first of many shakes of the head whenever I wanted to take pictures of the food before any took a bite. The boys really did warm up to my food picture taking the more I did it.

Along came our scrumptious bread…and Evan smiling in between...

…with butter.

Evan ordered the cheddar cheese soup for appetizer, which he didn’t really want but I told him he had to order something…

He didn’t eat it. I tried it and didn’t care for it but I’m not into cheese soups anyway. Rob had a sip and I can’t remember if he liked it but it pretty much just sat on the table.

Alec got the carrots & celery with ranch dip as an appetizer, which he also did not want but ate a couple carrots. No picture of that. I’m sure you can picture some sliced carrots and celery…

Rob ordered the Duck Two Ways which he absolutely loved! Evan loved it too and they shared that. In fact, I think they licked the plate clean…

Next it was my turn. Oh boy, I knew exactly what I wanted as I had seen so many pictures of it on the food porn site. I ordered the Shrimp Cocktail…

It looked so good that I dug right in. Well, I didn’t like it. The shrimp were very mushy and I didn’t like the spicy taste. I like spicy foods but not this one. I tried to take a few more bites but then gave up. Why eat something if you don’t like it? No one else would try it and I didn’t blame them.

Next installment...June 23rd...Epcot...Le Cellier main entrees

Nope! I'm a New Jeresy Italian, but I'm NOT a "Soprano"! (actually, I'm an alto.... )

[praisehisname]

Thanks for the teaser with your appies at LeC! I have been unsuccessful with getting in there so far, but I will keep trying. That cheese soup looks so good, and so does the duck! Mmmm...

If you like spicy foods then you would love the crawfish that we(courtney and I) eat they are burn your mouth hot. At least that is the way hubby boils them.

 

[arizonacolbys]

Just found your TR & loving it so far! Love your Croc Capris - I just ordered a pair for my Aug trip - Can't wait to hear how they work out for you!

 

[Disneyolic]

Whoa! Yummy food porn!

Oh yeah baaaaby...and there's more to come...just not today.

ray (my DH) didn't like the shrimp appetizer at le cellier, either. he said the shrimp were "rubbery." so you're not alone! looking forward to more!

I think I remember you mentioning that but I figured that sometimes people get bad shrimp. I guess I was one of them....

I'm sorry...but why didn't you take a picture of the carrots??? I had a hard time picturing them in my head!

Oh dear! I should have figured you wouldn't be able to picture them mentally. Don't worry, I do have a picture of the same thing, only somewhere else, coming up later in my report. I'll dedicate that pic to you...

I got all caught up in 1 day... yipee... your trippie is wonderful... children are adorable... i too have 2 boys and 1 girl....

Can't wait for more

Seeing as I haven't much updates, it should have been easy to get caught up. Please tell me that my links helped you.. Thanks for joining in and I hope you keep enjoying. Three kids are a handful but I love 'em!

Is your mouth watering yet? If you're a meat eater, you'll love my next update...in a couple of days. Rob would probably get the duck again. In fact, I think Evan would probably have that for his meal if he could.

I'm anxiously awaiting another installment here......

I bet since your TR is all done. I'm glad you can live your trip through mine now...

If you like spicy foods then you would love the crawfish that we(courtney and I) eat they are burn your mouth hot. At least that is the way hubby boils them.

I would probably like them a lot. I love crawfish although I've never had to peel them myself... I'll make it down south for a boil sometime for sure!

 

[blue_river]

I went back and forth deciding whether or not to choose Le Cellier this trip and in the end I didn't.

I'm anxious to hear part 4!

 

[rentayenta]

I'm sorry...but why didn't you take a picture of the carrots??? I had a hard time picturing them in my head!

And I'd like to see the celery!

Great report, your boys are darling. The pretzel bread looks really good. I am not a cheesy soup person either and neither is DH so my guess is we won't be trying it. Rubbery shrimp? Bleh! I hope the rest of the meal turns out better!
