GoTG ILL and Le Cellier ADR conflict May 7

Walt Disney World
1

Just booked my LLs and GOTG ILL and try as I might, everything is a bit later than I had hoped. We have 3 LLs 12:25-2:15. Our GoTG window is 2:15-3:15, and we have a Le Cellier ADR at 2:45 for the last available lunch reservation of the day. There are no early dinner reservations available. Even under the best circumstances, I don’t think we could get there on time. I will continue trying to rearrange but I am not optimistic. And I really prefer to do this ride before we eat vs after.

Any chance if we show up early for GoTG and show them our ADR they will let us on, say 15 min early? (I know about the grace period after but that obviously won’t help.) Or, should I call Disney now? Or, try to speak to a blue person in the park day of? Or, give up my ADR?

Thank you!

You can should up at least 119 minutes late (maybe more) to GotG. You should be able to make that no problem.

Thanks. I was really trying to ride it before the giant meal, not after. If that is the only option I will do it.

Score! Just was able to move up the GoTG to 10:45! Was not expecting that.

You might also look to see if there is a drop of times around 8:47. Is this your first park day-7 days from today?

I was just able to move it to 10:45am! All set! It is my first park day, 7 days from now.

For future reference, you can show up 5 min early to a LL and 15 min late for an ADR, so you actually could have done 2:10pm LL > 3:00pm check in for Le Cellier. Which is tight and doesn’t allow for anything to go wrong, but doable. If you had been late for your ADR, I bet it wouldn’t have been a problem given that 3pm is hardly a busy time for most restaurants, and even walk-ins might not wait long around then.

But your new schedule should be fine.

I would totally have done this–and almost posted it :rofl: –but I figured it would be jinxing things.

Glad for the new time!

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing, but I wasn’t sure if there would be some sort of “cut off” between lunch and dinner that would make them not inclined to let us show up a few mins past the grace period. This does feel high stakes so I am glad I got lucky. Thanks for the help!

Looks like there is only a 5-minute turnover between lunch and dinner. If they wanted to clear the restaurant out they’d need at least an hour if not 2-3. So I bet they will let people check in any time.

I swear sometimes my brain stops working logically when I am planning Disney. Plus my rule following urge and need to be on time is very strong! Ha! I will take this into account for next time.

I also have a 10:45 ILL for GOTG on May 7th! Maybe I’ll see you in line!

Oh very cool! I will look for you! (and someday maybe I will upload a profile pic and you can look for me too.) :slight_smile: Have a great time!

I just realized that it is the exact same menu for lunch and dinner (including prices)?

Yes. Brutal. They went to that format a few years ago. We are essentially treating it as a lunch/dinner combo. And we will probably share some things so we can also enjoy the festival food a bit at some point. We have never eaten here before. It was chosen largely as a solid gluten free option for our guest, after hearing many mixed things about the non-Disney restaurants in Epcot.

We are contemplating staying all day at Epcot, so this will serve as a well-needed afternoon break.
