Cirque and Dinner Scheduling

[snoopy5386]

We want to have dinner at Jiko before the 9 pm showing of Cirque. I understand you have to be in your seat by 8:30 or else they sell it to someone else. What would be a good time for our ADR at Jiko? Would 6:30 be too late?
Thanks!

We will have a car so we won't be relying on the buses

We are also seeing a 9:00 show and are having dinner at O'Hana at 5:45. We will have a car too but wanted to be sure we got there in plenty of time. We figure if we get there early we can just walk around a little before the show. And I haven't heard that if you aren't in your seat 30 minutes before they will sell your seat. I can't imagine they would do that but maybe someone will come along that has some more info.

We have almost the same situation, except we're planning to eat at Boma before a 9PM Cirque. I was thinking of making our PS at 6 since we're taking disney transportation, but I may want to make it earlier. I'll be curious to know what other responses you get. My guess is that with a nicer table-service place like Jiko, you won't want to be rushed, so you may want to make your PS (ADR I guess now) for 6 at the latest, since you'll want to be getting into your car by 8 or so.
