We have a Mama Melrose ADR at 5:15, TSMM FP+ that begins and 6:30 and F! begins at 7:30. Think we will make it in time for seating? We've had front row spots, so we don't care if we sit back, up top.

This really depends on MM and if they're backed up. We've waited 30 min or more past our ADR. So, let's say you don't get seated until 5:45. An hour is the minimum time it will take to eat. Then walking back to TSM and riding in less than 30 min?? Even with your FP, that may not be enough time. If you do make it, you still only have 15 min to book it over to Sunset and the LONG walk to F!

I'd say you move that MM back to 4:30 or so or you drop either MM or TSMM.
 

No. We have eaten at MM probably 20 times and have not been seated on time once-and we travel at less busy times with no free dining. They are always backed up at least 20 minutes in my experience and usually a lot longer.
 
I was over ambitious when I made resis . Might try to bump MM a little earlier if a time becomes avaiable. I should know MM is sloooooowww as we have eaten there a lot.

I see a 7:25 FP+ is available for F!. Will they close off stand by line early if there is still seating room? Just thought a 7:25 FP seemed kind of last minute.

Don't trust the FP+ arrival times for Fantasmic!

If seeing a particular performance is IMPORTANT to you...
it is far better to arrive much too early, than to arrive one minute too late.

If seeing particular performance is just of passing interest...
you can enter much later and you might get lucky.
Many guests do.

You can also head to MM 30 minutes early and ask politely if you could be accommodated. The couple of times I arrived at an ADR early I was seated early.
 
I have eaten at MM once, and we got seated 30 minutes after my reservation time. For that reason, I won't eat there again. If my situation happens, you will have to decide between TSMM or Fantasmic. I haven't seen Toy Story having horrible lines since the new track has been added. Maybe consider stand by for TSMM earlier in the day and fastpass for Fantasmic instead? You can also change your Mama Melrose reservation to a Fantasmic Dining Package if you want to do that.

Unless that change also moves the reservation much earlier in the day, I don't think that would help in this situation.
