If you have experience getting this tough-to score ADR I would love to know how you did it! I am looking for any insight. Thanks!

I called them directly at 9 am EST at my 180 day mark. Since I was staying on site, I gave them my resort reservation number. I was given a choice of two dates out of my week long stay. The first couple of dates were already taken, so we went with a date later in the trip. Try to be flexible with a date if you can.

It was a fantastic experience that we hope to do again one day.

Good luck trying to get a date. Always ask to be put on the wait list if you can't get the date you want.

We used the same method. Ended up in the Queen Victoria room because the closed the chef's table while we were there for refurbishment. Woman on the phone said we would have had it though.

Queen Victoria room turned out to be awesome anyway so I would recommend it as a back up.

There isn't really a nuanced and complex strategy to employ. Call at your 180 day mark and check every day of your trip - schedule around V&A if it's a must-do. If you fail to get a reservation, ask to be waitlisted for every day of your trip. Again, plan around it.
