What is the earliest MTD you can show up for? And/or reserve?

[MCruiser30]

Early dining is at 5:30 pm.  The website seems to say 6 - 9:30 is MTD.  But I am seeing people here who say if you show up at 5, 5:15 you can MTD right away.  This doesn't seem to make sense...

Real world experiences / knowledge appreciated.  : )

On my recent Voyager cruise I was very disappointed to discover that My Time Dining didn't start until 6:45. Because I didn't realise this I went to the MDR at 6 and (probably because I was D+) they let me in to one of the unused early dining tables.
