We've been trying to make reservations at French Laundry, but even if we sign on at midnight, the next available day for reservations is already sold out. Is there a secret to getting a reservation or should we just sign up for multiple wait lists?

Just keep trying that's what we did

They release reservations on a very specific schedule. Sign up for the reservation account the day before you want to reserve a table online. You won't have time to sign up morning of. You will pay in full up front when you reserve the table.

No secret, just keep trying. Best of luck.
