I'm pretty sure it's 6:00am Eastern Standard Time. I remember waking up at 5:30 in the morning to be sure I was ready.

Yes I find between 5:45am and 6:00am is when the reservations drop. Just keep in mind that people with Disney hotel reservations can book dining 60 days in advance, plus the length of their stay, up to ten days. So you may still not be able to find availability for popular dining like Space 220 or Topolino's Terrace because they have most likely already been fully booked by people staying on property. I finally got my annual pass this year in September and have being doing short trips every month since, and I have had this happen to me many of times hahahaha. But I still say try just in case. You can always call the dining reservation line at 7am to just double check (just be prepared to stay on hold for a while) Plus some times you can luck out on the day of your arrival because people change their plans last minute. I picked up Topolino's Terrace breakfast with the characters while I was waiting for my early morning flight at the airport last month because someone had cancelled. But either which way, you will definitely be able to find something great at 60 days out because there are a ton of choices.

Is the 5:45 - 6:00 AM time you reference in the Eastern time zone? (I assume yes, but want to be right on it tomorrow morning because last February I didnt start dining reservations until late morning and missed most of our first choices.

One trick that can help is to plan your must-haves that are really popular on the weekend and schedule backwards toward Monday with the less-desired ones.

Most people naturally start booking on Sunday or Monday, Tuesday, etc.

So, you may get the jump on them. That's worked for us a time or two as has logging in first thing on Saturday and Sunday. We've gotten some plummy ADRs doing that, figuring a lot of people don't get up that early on their weekend.

Yup it is EST. Makes for early mornings out west but it was worth it!

Yup, similarly start with the most desirable reservations first (i.e. Space 220, BOG, CRT) those fill up the fastest. And if staying on site, put those towards the end of your trip if you can/are willing. Gives you the best chance. Usually a lot more choices for other locations.
