We've never eaten deluxe so no advice here...but have fun!!! Sounds like a tasty trip.

Congrats - looks like some amazing ADRs. I've not been to all of them but have read the sushi and bison at CG are incredible and the lobster and almond crusted cheesecake at Narcoossee's. The only thing I see that is kind of "meh" is the Plaza for dinner on your last day. Are you trying for something like CRT or BOG considering you're in MK? You note you've been there before so maybe it's special for you, but it seems not up to snuff with the others you have booked for dinners.

Looks and sounds delicious! Happy Anniversary.

11/21
lunch: The Hollywood Brown Derby

Although they say this is a "horrible" choice to use for signature dining (when on the DDP), my wife and I love it. We've been to HBD for both of our last trips. We probably will choose a different signature in the future, but we loved it. We also chose the F! package both times.

Try the Grapefruit Cake and/or the Cobb Salad (comes in an appetizer portion too).

Congratulations. They look great. If I count correctly you still have one credit to use.
Have Fun

You're not making efficient use of deluxe dining. I'd consider changing your mind of "quick service dining some place" to a table service some place. You are using 14 credits of 15. Consider changing out Chefs for Monsieur Paul's to use up that last credit.

Why are you running all over the place? You have Kona (near MK) for lunch and Chefs (Epcot) for dinner. Why didn't you put Kona on the same day as Narcoossee's?

I'm NOT a fan of LeCellier. There are MUCH better signature choices. If you're looking for a better steak house nearby, consider Yachtsman, which is a 10 minute walk from Epcot's International Gateway, or The Boathouse at Disney Springs (Downtown Disney).

11/19
lunch: quick service some place
dinner: Le Cellier Steakhouse - Steak and Cheese Soup. If you are in love with Le Cellier great if not give Yachtsman a try. They have a better cut of meat.

11/20
lunch: Sanaa
dinner: California Grill

11/21
lunch: The Hollywood Brown Derby
dinner: Narcoossee's - Love the steak.

11/22
lunch: Kona Cafe
dinner: Chefs de France

11/23
lunch: Paradiso 37
dinner: The Plaza Restaurant - I LOVE their club sandwich. I know it doesn't sound like something you would normally get on vacation but man is it good. If that doesn't tickle your fancy give the burger a go.

Well, that quick service will be oop. It's our arrival day and we would like to get into the parks asap. We will have quick service in the park for lunch. We actually only have 12 credits per day. It's 3/night of stay x 4 nights is 12 dining credits.

Why are you running all over the place? You have Kona (near MK) for lunch and Chefs (Epcot) for dinner. Why didn't you put Kona on the same day as Narcoossee's?

I won't be running any place. As for why I didn't put Kona on the same day as Narcoossee's...well, that's why I posted my ADRs. I'm asking for advice. We have never been on the Deluxe plan and usually do regular dining which means only one table service. I would like to make the most of our time since we will not be there for our usual 7-10 days.

I'm NOT a fan of LeCellier. There are MUCH better signature choices. If you're looking for a better steak house nearby, consider Yachtsman, which is a 10 minute walk from Epcot's International Gateway, or The Boathouse at Disney Springs (Downtown Disney).

I've read good and bad reviews of LeCellier. We would like to try it for ourselves and decide, but thanks for the recommendations.

We only have 12 dining credits as we will only be there 4 nights. Of course, my ADRs have changed since my original post. Lol

We enjoyed The Plaza during our last trip. It's our last day and we don't want to leave the park! (We're going to squeeze every last drop of magic out of this trip!) We tried for BOG but there is NOTHING available...even at our 180 day mark. I'm still going to try though.

I'm hoping we agree with you on HBD. I don't see anything on the menu that has me too excited, but my husband wants to try it. Lol I gave in since it's his anniversary too!
