For the kids, you want to use credits at buffet, all you care to eat places, and pay OOP at the a la carte.

For the adults, your TS credit is roughly worth $40, so you'll need to look at the menus and prices and see where that makes the most sense depending on what you want to order. For buffet prices, consult the sticky at the top of the restaurant forum. Depending on how many credits you are over, you could also split the adult payment at some of your a la carte places. The one ordering the more expensive entrée uses DDP and the other pays OOP and you split the dessert.

How many credits are you over by? Are any of them show packages?

What would you order at Brown Derby?

Knowing how many credits you're over by is key here, I think. But, I generally think that paying OOP for CRT is a wise choice, especially if you're not going there for dinner.

do you know about Brown Derby Lounge? My DH wanted so bad to fit BD in our plans but when I showed him the lounge we decided instead of using 2 ts each, we would just stop by for a rest and snack one day.
