We had 7:45 ressies for CM last September. It was great. We had our picture taken right and away and were seated right after that. It was worth getting up early! We didn't feel rushed and the lines at the buffet were not crowded. We were in MK a few minutes after 9!
We had done the Tony's breakfast on what would have been our last full day of that vacation - September 11. We were in Tony's when we heard the early sketchy detials. Our ressies were for about 8:30 or 9. For that we actually had to wait for about 10 minutes to be seated. Tony's didn't seem crowded, but I just figured they weren't running the full amount of tables.
