You really don't need to be locked into a specific time (unless you want to). We have eaten as early as 5:30pm and have come back to watch Wishes. You just need to show your reciept to the check in desk downstairs & they will let you back up to watch Wishes. We ususually arrive a little earlier and enjoy a drink out on the balcony before the show. No matter what you do, you will love it!
I have never heard this before(I have been to wdw too many times to count since we became dvc members in 1994). We have eaten at CG 2 times and have always been there during(or a bit before) Wishes. Wondering when this process began? Also wondering why others haven't mentioned this as it would eliminate some of the anxiety about timing?

I see this suggestion on my dining confirmation that they sent via email after I made my ADR.
Here's what it states under General Information:
"Guests who have dined prior in the evening may return to California Grill to view the fireworks. Guests will need to present their receipt from dinner to gain re-entry to the restaurant."
I think it is a great idea so that people don't have to really worry about when they dine, they can always finish up an early dinner and then watch the fireworks.
Hope this helps!
