Going to CP for first time on Saturday. We have dinner package at Teppan Edo for 450 and we have tickets for 815 show. I was thinking of arriving to wait in line around 7pm. Too early? Too late? Just right?
any tips about CP?

Thanks
 
Depends on how close you want to sit up front. We were in line 30 minutes before show and had not-so-great seats mid/back, near a pole. They had already started letting in standby when we got to the front of our line/entering. We would have done sooner, but were really enjoying our meal at Chefs de France, and actually had to speed through dessert somehow...we were a big group.

I suggest 45min+....the line gets crazy long. You can keep an eye on the line, and do some exploring nearby. Over an hour seems like a waste to me.

Given that it is a Saturday, and one of the first shows...115 sounds good.
 
We like to be walking up as the line is moving in to the theatre so say 20 minutes ahead. I've never arrived earlier and always been fine with our seats.
 

We got there about 45 minutes early last time (Neil Patrick Harris as well) and we had great seats. We were center, front row of the middle section. Would have been perfect if the woman behind us hadn't decided she was a better singer than the choir.
 
Don't get there too early, you do not want to be sitting too close to the sage area. The venue is large, the entire presentation is wide. Sitting back towards the middle, front to back, is ideal. Enjoy.
