9:30 Fantastic with dinning ... what is the latest I can show up and still get reserved seats

[DSLRuser]

we are eating at brown derby at 5:55pm with fantastic plan......the show is at 9:30pm that night.......can we show up at 9:15 and still get our reserved seat?

really don't care where we sit. just don't want to wait in line, or sit in a seat for an hour.

Park closes at 9pm if that matters

If you check the fantasmic dining package website it says 'Please arrive at least 25 minutes before showtime to be seated in the reserved section'. So maybe after that they start letting regular people in the seats?

The do start filling those sections shortly before showtime. We like to arrive 5-10 minutes early and snag an unfilled row in a reserved section.

Just based on what I saw a week ago I would say 20 minutes would be as late as I'd want to show up.
