Anytime that we have wanted an ADR for Le Cellier for 2, we have always said we are a party of 3. It has worked everytime.

Does 'Ohana have 2 tops? We have a ressie for two but would like to add 2 to our party. So far Disney Dining has said "no," but I wonder after reading this thread if we should take a chance and just show up. :confused: We've never been seated at a 2 top before.

I believe my wife and I were seated at a table for two back about 4 years ago...but I could be remembering wrong, too. Gotta work on that rememory thingie...

Anyway, even if I did remember correcty and we had a table for two back then, they may have changed it by now...or not. Hmm...

I remember going there with my old bf. There were tables of 4 that they could split up into tables of 2. It is possible. :)

Ohana has 2-tops, sat at one last year.

And back in '08, three of us were sat at a table along the window that was the same size as the 2-top from '09... (It was a rather tight fit having three adults at that table, the ledge along the window got a lot of use for the extraneous things that were on the table...)

Back then, I didn't know how to hypnotize. :rolleyes:

I got the same recommendation from a CM when I was trying to book a party of 1. She said to book for a party of 2.

We flat out don't plan on putting any single tops anywhere ever. Any that exist are an afterthought that happened when we had leftover space.
