We have many ADRs on our upcoming 10-night trip in July. I am concerned about a few of them since they are more popular places. I will list the ADR time with the restaurants I am concerned about. Normally we arrive 20 minutes before our ADR time, but should we arrive earlier than that? What time would you arrive?

1. Chef Mickey's dinner 5:00 PM ADR
2. CRT dinner 5:15 PM ADR
3. Le Cellier dinner 5:30 PM ADR
4. 1900 Park Fare breakfast 9:25 AM ADR
5. Whispering Canyon Cafe dinner 6:10 PM ADR

I have 2 small children (ages 3 and 5) and I like to keep as close to their normal routine as possible on vacation. Normally at home when we go out to eat, we arrive at a restaurant no later than 6:30 PM or we have a reservation between 6 and 6:30. Thanks!
 
For the earlier adrs (5ish) arriving 15 mins before will be fine. There isn't a real crowd at that time.

The breakfast one I am not sure about since we don't usually have TS for bkfst.

WCC you still should be fine at 15-20 mins.
