Any other comments:[/quote] Absolutely loved this place. We tried to get another boking when we were there but it was booked out for the entire 2 weeks

A lot of the Disney podcasters talk very highly of Le Cellier but because it is so small and so popular ADRs are very difficult all year round. I've seen photos of their s'mores dessert and it looks fantastic! I think I will just have to be satisfied with the s'mores dessert at the 50s Prime Time Cafe in DHS.

I love Tonga Toast

I like the thought of Tonga Toast - in reality it makes me feel sick!
