When we did this, we went down at 9:00 because that's when Disney said to come. But, people had already been waiting. So, I would say go earlier, as we were on the second bus. I think the first bus left at about 9:30 or so.

Just remember that gettin on a bus at 9:00 or 9:30 won't get you on the ship any earlier than 11:30-ish. You'll just spend more time sitting around inside the terminal. Why not wait in the comfort of the hotel room for a while longer?

The desk opens at 9, but people start lining up much earlier. We got down there before 9 and still had to wait for the 2nd bus b/c the first was full already

Yes, people arrive earlier. In my experience, when the CMs there show up to start setting up, they take note of who's already there, so that they are the first ones they let through, not someone who happens to walk up right as it opens.
We've been on the first bus twice (our red-eye flight typically arrives between 4-5 am, so we're already there waiting). Both times that first bus left at 9:10.
