ADR time before MSEP?

[Disneyliscious]

MSEP will be at 9pm on the night we are in MK. What time should we make our dinner ADR so that when we are finished eating we can get in line for the parade/fireworks? 6pm? Is 7:30 too late? I don't know how much time we need to plan to stand in line or "steak our spot" for the parade/fireworks that time of year (3rd week of October) and also MSEP is only happening on Mon/Wed/Sat that week because of MNSSHP so I'm sure that will affect it. I figure it will take us about an hour for dinner (BoG) if they are timely on their end.

Is steaking out a spot at 8pm going to be enough time for the 9pm parade? We do plan to be somewhere around Main Street so we can watch the fireworks afterwards. Had thought about watching the parade from Frontierland but afraid we wont be able to get a spot on Main Street to see the fireworks if we do that.

If you're talking about THIS October, you're probably out of luck on a dinner reservation at BOG if you don't already have one....especially at a prime time between 5 and 9 pm.

Good luck.

I do have my BoG ADR's already. Just trying to figure out how early we need to stake out a MSEP spot ahead of time. When going back to read my OP I realize its worded to look otherwise. Not sure why I did that to be honest. I guess I was trying to ask what time should we leave BoG to make the "stake out" for MSEP.
