Victoria & Albert's at Grand Floridian reopening July 28

wait, Im sorry Im confused. So on site guests can reserve SEVENTY (60+10) days in advance?

It’s up to 10 days or your length of stay. So if you have a 7 night stay you get 60+7. There are calculators online if you need help figuring out which day your window opens

I’ll add my clarification statement: at 60 days before checkin, on-site guests can book ADRs for that day and for the length of their stay, up to 10 days.

So, someone who was staying onsite for 10 days or longer could book V&A 70 days before the date they wanted to dine there - but that’s a pretty small subset of guests!

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

When I first checked their hours, I noticed that they were closed Sundays and Mondays. Then, out of nowhere, those hours opened up.

So I'm wondering if that was going to be their original times, open Tuesday-Saturday, and then decided to open up 7 days a week after the overwhelming demand, but they were set up as exceptions rather than the regular rule, right now?

Idk those two days are still showing as closed but the next day is available. Maybe they have someone who bought out the restaurant or something those days

I'm thinking that they haven't backfilled those days. They might be opening up soon.

But, who knows, you may be right?

Sitting here hitting refresh like I’m playing a slot machine hoping for a hit. Wish me luck XD

Edit: It was available on our departure day but we’re leaving in the morning So sad. Time to obsessively stalk those cancellations.

Since they have a new policy about charging after 5 days definitely check a lot the days before that I’m sure people will cancel to avoid the fee

Anyone had luck booking for September 4th or 5th? The website makes it look like the restaurant is closed.

Those days are showing the restaurant closed, same as august 28 and 29. It seems like they might be closed Sunday and Monday’s

They're open other Sunday and Mondays, but not those. I guess I'll have to keep trying for Friday and Saturday which appear to be fully booked already.

I think they have fewer reservations this time around so it’s harder to get. But since they also have a charge if you cancel 5 days out now I bet people will cancel right before that to avoid the charge so check back around that time frame to see if anyone drops

I just got an email from V&A. They are saying that their normal days of operation will be Tuesday through Saturday, and closed Sunday and Monday.

They only opened up for the first 4 Sundays and Mondays (to August 22nd) due to overwhelming demand.

So it seems like that those two days will still be closed, at least for now.

So happy to see it opening. They have one of the most knowledgeable wine person I know.
