We are planning to attend MVMCP and not using a ticket that day. Will they let us in to go for an early dinner at the Crystal Palace or should I make plans to eat there later.?

That's a tough one. It means you need to be in the park by at least 3 to make the reservation. That's early, even for early entry into the park on a MVMCP ticket. Hopefully someone can answer who has tried it. You definitely wouldn't be the first.
I think the earliest they will let you in with the party ticket is at 4pm. You would miss the ADR, I would book it for a later time. Maybe 4:10 at the earliest.
As the PP said, the MVMCP will (historically) allow you to enter MK at 4:00 pm. You will not be able to get into MK in time for a 3:30 pm ADR. I would look for an ADR no earlier than 4:15 pm so that you have time to get into the park, get your wristband, and make it to Crystal Palace.
