Hello! Forgive me if this is not the right place to ask as I am new.
I am looking for advice (and reassurance?) in obtaining an ADR for Storybook Dining at Artist Point. I was unable to get a reservation at the 180 day mark; I waited later in the day rather than first thing in the morning as I am overseas and I was thinking they wouldn't fill up that quickly (oops - newbie mistake).
We (Mom, DD, DS and I) are doing a split stay at GF for 3 nights then moving to a DVC 2 bedroom at Copper Creek (renting points) for four nights. My 2 nieces are joining us at Wilderness lodge on 7th September and we have a pretty full on trip after that. I was hoping to start their trip off with a family dinner with Snow White, and that is the only night we could do so. I have only been to WDW once for four days with my Mom, so getting reservations was relatively easy for 2. This will be a party of 6, which may be part of the issue.
Thus far, I have made an alert on MouseDining, but again being overseas they will only email notifications rather than text so I may miss alerts. I also check the MDE site 2-3 times a day (I'm assuming some obsessive behaviour is normal on the boards...).
My questions are
If it doesn't happen, it won't ruin the trip, but my nieces have had a rough year and it is the first time the cousins are all together. It would be such a great way to start off our together holiday.
Cheers!

My questions are
- Any other tips to get the reservation? We do not have a preferred time, only a preferred day.
- As we will be on site at Copper Creek, are there ever walk-ups available for on-site guests?

. I have found last minute cancellations right before at hard to get restaurants. People book more reservations than they need and then cancel right before.
