We met Tink about 45mins after RD. The line was about 20mins at the time, but quickly went up to 40mins. I wasn't aware of meeting her later at night, but my two littles wouldn't have been in the greatest moods if we had gone that late.
Tink is on our must do list too. I've been watching the wait times in the Lines app. Around mid-August there was a significant change in how fast the wait went up to 30 mins in the morning.
As of yesterday, at 9:45am the wait was only 10 mins. Right now our plan is to ride as much as we can in Fantasyland and then head to see Tink around 9:40. We are going late September and crowds should continue to drop so by then we might even be able to push it to 10am.
My sister and I walked in around 10pm last September and were the only civilians there. Tink and Periwinkle were there, a photopass photographer and about 10 CMs just hanging out apparently. I think it had been empty for awhile because both fairies made a big deal about "2 humans" coming to visit them and one CM started shouting "revelry! Revelry!" when we wandered in. It was rather hilarious. I did admire how the two girls stayed in character even though it was all adults.
If I may suggest...only do this if you are not looking to get the rare characters that only appear at the parties. Tink is available on non-party days. Certain characters like the Villains, Disney Princes (Flynn Ryder, Prince Philip, Snow's prince) and this Halloween, Jack Skellington and Sally only come out during the party hours. During the Christmas party we got Uncle Scrooge and the 7 dwarves which only show up at parties.
I would check the character list first for MNSSHP and if there is no one rare you want, then go for Tink. She may have a shorter line since others will line up for the other exclusive party characters.
