-Wanted to give my quick experience on booking V&A. It definitely made my heart race today!
Quick Info:
- Trip scheduled 9/21 - 9/28 - split stay
- Reservation window opened up for first part of trip today, 7/23
- I'm eastern time zone so was on around 5:45 AM
I logged in my Disney Experience and made sure I was ready. Also had an atomic clock going on my phone. Right at 5:59:57 I selected the restaurant on the laptop and went to reserve for later in the week, 9/24. No availability. I tried several more times and still got zero availability. Bummed, I booked one of my backup restaurants.
-Doing a quick search, V&A has a dedicated line that opens at 10:00 AM ET. The number is 407-939-3862. I called and left a message and about an hour later some called me back, confirmed my dates and looked for an open seating for 2. Sure enough, they had the opening I wanted and I booked it.
Tips
- Be persistent in checking availability
- Be flexible with dates. If I could not have gotten 9/24, I would have tried later dates for my 2nd stay window
- It looks like calling the number is a good way to get a ressie.
Good luck to you when trying to book!
