Ok so i'm not sure about this.

I know that when you make your adrs they tell you should be so many minutes before your adr at the restaurant, but i can't remember what they told me.

So with how much time of anticipation should i go to the restaurant?.

I odn't know if i'm explaining myself.

so let's say If my adr is for 2:30 at the crystal palace at what time should i get there.


I'm going late august if that has anything to do with this.


thank you everyone for your help in advance
 
I try and show up at least 30 min before our ADR time, and usually don't have much of a wait time.
 
I believe the reservation CM told me we should plan on checking in 10-15 min. before our reservation time. In May, we actually showed up 15-30 minutes early (depended on if we got to the location extra early.) We usually got seated early, too...unless we had the first seating at a restaurant that just opened at that time...like at the Calif Grille, we had ADR for 5:30, which is when they open for dinner. So there, we were there 20 min. early but were not actually seated until about 5:25.
 

They always say allow ample time . 15 to 20 min's I think is good.
 
We did CRT last week, they would not allow us to check-in more than 10 minutes early. We got there about 20 minutes early. So we headed over to the Tinkerbell store and walked around.
 
It depends on what you are doing before and after your meal. If you are in a hurry to get somewhere like Illumniations or Spectro Magic then show up 15-20 minutes early. No guarantee you will be seated early but of course the odds are better than if you show up exactly at your reservation time. If you have not particular plans afterwards and are enjoyed the rides at the park then show up 5 minutes early.
