Timing Fantasmic and Ohana dinner reservation

[Cando86]

We will be going to Hollywood Studios on a day that the park closes at 7pm with a 7pm Fantasmic showing. We'd like to have dinner at Ohana tonight due to the early park closing but are having a hard time figuring out when to make the reservation. I figured I'd allow for 45 minutes for Fantasmic plus crowd exiting and bus time... is 8:30 too early for a reservation?

TIA!

The show lasts a half hour, then exiting can take 15 minutes.
The buses are guaranteed to be backed up in loading.

So... later will be "safer."

But, Ohana is nearly always "backed-up" and behind with seatings, so you should be OK.

If you're driving yourself, then I'd say you'd be okay. But if you're depending on buses, I'd probably make that ADR at least 30 minutes later, if that's possible at Ohana (I don't know their hours).
