Victoria & Albert's at Grand Floridian reopening July 28

[Richie248]

I haven’t, but you totally should! My husband and I met an airline pilot in the dining room one night, many years ago. He planned V&A reservations around his trips!

I'm going for it! Can't wait!

Anyone ever do V&A solo? Traveling with my family and I'm the only one who appreciates fine dining. Scored a reservation for 1 for August.... Don't mind eating alone so I'll most likely "just do it". I've always wanted to try it. Also like how they have zero-proof cocktail options (as I don't drink alcohol). Can't wait to hear reports once it opens!

I LOVE dining alone in a fine restaurant, it’s really peaceful and relaxing, I can just focus on enjoying my experience and like being alone with my own thoughts. DO IT!!!

Spoke to V&A today, and here’s what I learned:

Reservations opened at 6am yesterday. By 6:30 the three weeks that could be booked were sold out. They are opening with only 11 tables; three in the QV room that only accommodates parties of two, and eight in the main dining room - total capacity 30 patrons. Reservations start at 5:30 and stagger by 20 minutes, with the latest at 8pm.

Chef’s Table is not open yet.

There is a call list for locals for any Friday/Saturday where a table opens up.

If you have a date you want, try at midnight when you hit 60 days out.

This makes me so nervous about getting a slot! Were not going till December so hopefully it won't be as cut throat... we are going the first week, so hopefully it'll be a calm before the MASSIVE holiday crowds hit....wishing

Your best bet is midnight now that the website is active. It was only yesterday that it opened at 6am.

thankyou! I was totally unaware that reservations open at midnight! is this true for all Disney restaurants?

I have never heard of this so unsure too now when to log on and try to book (my usual time is 11am UK)

I wish I could go. However, we will be with our to boys (7 and 10), and finding baby sitter on top of the restaurant expenses is just too much

 

[Lehuaann]

Important to note that Queen Victoria is only for parties of two. We will be a party of four, so our only option is the main dining room until the Chef’s Table reopens.

Exactly. 8 guests max divided by 4 tables = parties of 2.

According to recent posts, V&A follows the standard 60 days @ 6 am ET.

It’s 5am EST and 60-day looks bookable but I don’t have a resort reservation for August so I’m not 100% sure.

Can someone clarify?

The poster I quoted said reservations opened at 6 am, then said try in the future at midnight:

Others have said they saw nothing at 5:55 am and gone by 6:03 am. So either they released very early or went quick.

According to the website, “select” restaurants open at 5:45 am. Perhaps V&A falls under select. I know a few months back it was 6 am ET sharp for the ones we wanted.

Reservation availability for select Walt Disney World restaurants typically begins each day at approximately 5:45 AM

Oh geez now Im paranoid! Guess Ill just get on at 545 to be safe? sigh I wish we could just call! :0

 

[Her Dotness]

We'd seen people say they got in at 5:45 and were done making all ADRs before 6:00. (Wasn't sure I believed them)

We did get in a few minutes before 6:00 once but figured some CM opened the floodgates a bit too early.

I’m there for a night solo before I meet my sister/niece and am KICKING MYSELF for not pursuing a res!! I’ll stalk one (worked for Space our last trip), but I think chances are slim. In other words, DO IT!! I would!

Are they releasing 60 days out? I was looking at august 29 and 28 don’t let me search for a time, but all other days do. So I was wondering if they hadn’t released those days yet or it was just glitching for me

 

[ak517]

I see that they are "closed" on 8/28 and 8/29, and there are no times available 8/30 through September 2nd, when my hotel reservation ends. I plan continue to try each day to see if they release 60 days instead of 60+10 days, but I might just be out of luck.

Thanks, it doesn’t mention on the website it’s closed certain days I wonder why those aren’t open.

I can 100% confirm they release 60 + 10 days as I emailed them on Tuesday to double check the time the booking window opens as some people were saying midnight and others 6am. I also asked in the email if they only opened bookings at 60 days and they confirmed onsite guests will be booking before others as they do the 10 days in advance. I'm determined to keep trying but it's not looking hopeful for me

Yes if you're in a Disney hotel, once you begin to book dining at 60 days you will see that a further 10 days appear for you to book
