Importance of Prepping for Your Epcot Visit
Now that you have decided to visit Epcot, there are some things that must be put in place to make the trip a success.
Truth be told, regardless of the fun and great package in place at the Disney World, if you did not put in place a great plan prior to your visit, chances are you will not have a great experience when you get there.
I’ve seen people who got themselves enshrined in the logistics while they should be enjoying their stay in this beautiful land that offers all the fantasy you can dream of.
For people like this, instead of enjoying the bliss that Disney has on offer, what they are faced with is frustration, disappointment and anger. I am sure you don’t want your story to be like that, do you?
The secret to avoid that kind of story is proper planning.
While there are a lot of things you need to get sorted out while preparing for a trip to Disney World, one of the things you dare not take for granted is your feeding arrangement.
This includes setting aside a budget, number of meals, type of meals, and most importantly, the restaurant where you’d like to visit to have your meals.
Epcot has some of the best restaurants in Disney World, and if you would be coming anywhere around Epcot, one of the best restaurants we can gladly recommend to you is the ‘Le Cellier Steakhouse’.

Review
On my visit, I was welcomed by friendly Cast Members as a walk-in right away. I came after the lunch rush which most likely contributed to my ease of getting a seat.
The cozy environment embraced me and I knew I was in the right place. The Cast Member presented me with my menu which took me forever to decide what I wanted.
There were way too many options, but I decided to go with the Iceberg Wedge Salad, the Le Cellier Signature Poutine and the Ottawa Apple cocktail.
Iceberg Wedge Salad
For a hot summer Florida day, the Iceberg Wedge Salad was just what I needed. It was refreshing with crispy lettuce and a creamy avocado buttermilk ranch dressing that combined the melody of bacon, cucumber, tomato and blue cheese so well.
It was a great start to an afternoon meal.
Le Cellier Signature Poutine
This was by far one of the hardest decisions I had to make as this Disney dining location offers 3 types:
- The Annual Passholder Poutine
- Montreal Poutine
- Le Cellier Signature Poutine
After going back-and-forth between the Passholder one and the Signature one, I opted for the latter. And I am so happy that I made that selection. I love fries PERIOD! And doing it the Canadian way with a Disney twist had me all giddy inside.
The fries were thicker than your average, but not as thick as steak fries. It was topped with Canadian cheddar, truffle and a red wine reduction that combine all the best savory ingredients needed for a top-notch poutine.
Ottawa Apple
This is quickly starting to become one of my go-to drinks at Epcot. Its refreshing, slightly sweet, with a delicious apple note to finish.
Ottawa Apple Drink Recipe
- Crown Royal Maple Whiskey
- Apple Infusion
- Cranberry Juice
After finishing up my meal, I was too full to take advantage of an entree or the Prix Fixe dining option which allows you to choose one appetizer, one entree and one dessert for one low cost.
