Assuming the food actually does improve to justify the upgrade and changes are made to improve the ambience (fewer tables is a start), I think it's great. We aren't on the DDP most of the time anyway, so it's good for us. Since it's unlikely that costs will double (signature costs are never double regular restaurants, usually just slightly more expensive...which is why they're such poor value on the DDP), I will gladly pay the 20% premium (my estimate of the increase) for better food, a better experience, and a reservation that's easier to get!

If this change makes it easier to get a reservation there and it doesn't have a significant impact on my wallet, I guess I'm fine with it. Le Cellier is one of the few places my GF and I eat at every time we go to WDW. If I can eliminate, or at least reduce, the stress and worry of making that ADR for future trips, and we don't lose our favorite menu items (salt crusted prime rib, smore, chocolate mousse), then I can live with it.
I always said it was one of the best values on property as far as the DDP goes, so I had a feeling that would eventually change.

Well this doesn't shock me and I bet it will be happenning in the end of September. I had to change my resort reservation and had to cancel my bookings I set up for the original one. When I tried Le Cellier for the last week of September there was not the "normal" unavailable but here are other choices. It went back to the screen for selecting dates and times and it was in red that there was nothing that matched my search criteria. I found that VERY strange. I agree also that they will need to upgrade dramatically the food if this is happening.

Good move. I wish some others would go this route.

Heading for the great escape.
Oh Id gladly pay three times the price, cause the food is just so simply wonderful.

Yeah, either way we would find a way to get in there and eat. Maybe not 3 times! But def once!

For the love of mike then they need a CS restaurant! That little kiosk with soup isn't enough and I have NEVER been able to get a seat at Le Cellier even booking 6 mo in advance! Terrible luck. They have the room to build, its not like their using any of those shops at the top anyway... although the maple candy is pretty much insanely delicious. :slurp:

This WOULD be a change since the last time we ate there we were told that the beef actually comes from Australia!

Me and my family wanted to dine here on our trip in August but it was completly booked. We kept calling every morning and eventually someone cancelled and we got a reservation for 4. The girl on the phone told me that if you keep calling there is a good chance of someone cancelling and you getting a reservation. Keep Trying and I'm sure you'll be able to grab a reservation.

When I first went, they proudly proclaimed thatall their beef was from Alberta. Then after a while they stopped announcing where it as from [around the "Mad Cow" scare]. Glad to hear they're returning to the good stuff! :king:

We love this restaurant but we haven't eaten there in several years because we don't want to plan our dining months in advance. We prefer to play things more by ear, going to the parks we feel like going to, etc.
I still remember fondly the days when you make reservations DURING your trip for a few days away - or even that night.
Those days are LONG GONE.

Amen! The website only made things worse imo. They need to leave a block of tables for the day. I'm sure not everyone cancels when they should. Disney can't rely on guests to be responsible or do the right thing.

Everything on menu will stay the same. But it will boost to Signature Dining just to make more money. Isn't that the Disney way.

Oh well, we only use 2 credits on character dining for the kids. Probably still worth it though.
Seems to me the answer would be for it not to participate in the DDP. I think it's popular enough to exist on it's own.
bingo!!

ok... my wife and I have dining reservatations here for November and we plan to use 1 credit from the dining plan. If this changes... then what???
Also, I have never understood why Disney has a way to make dining reservations online but NOT a way to cancel them. Seems this would make a lot of sense for those like me that may have to switch to something else.
