California Grill brunch or dinner? Both 2 TS credits

We'll be in the World in August for 14 nights with free DDP. I'm considering the new Cali Grill Sunday brunch....but then it just hit me that dinner will "cost" me the same - 2 credits. Thoughts?

We did the brunch last November and very much enjoyed it. We paid out of pocket and not sure if we would do it again due to the price. After tip/tax it was over $100 a person. All the food was very good and you get unlimited entrees with it and constant mimosa refills. I ate waaay too much.

For the 2 credits, what do you get with dinner? Regular or deluxe dining plan? It makes a difference, I think. Having done both and having to make the choice I would do brunch again. The one bonus was free valet parking so we left the car there and walked to MK.

I just have regular DDP - so only entree and dessert at dinner. That's why the unlimited brunch sounds appealing. And DDP credit value is better. Of course, tip will be higher since dinner will likely only end up being $60ish per person instead of $80 pp with the brunch. Which means my OOP is more with brunch than with dinner.

As for the extras for brunch...
-I would drink a couple of mimosas (cheap drunk haha!) and my DH will probably drink half of one.
- We won't have a car so the free valet perk won't apply for us.
- Not sure about the fireworks perk since I prefer watching from Main Street....but it will be fun seeing it from a different perspective, I'm sure.

Mostly interested in what other Dis'ers would choose and why

We thought it was pretty neat to look over the MK during the day. We have only eaten at CG after dark. Watching the fireworks from CG is pretty cool as well. They are right at eye level.
