Looks good to me. The only thing I might change is day 3, because you've got 3 large/heavy meals planned. Kona is a big breakfast, then steak for lunch... I'd be worried I wouldn't be hungry to enjoy Jiko, which would be a real shame.

We're using the DxDP also for just the two of us. Our plans look pretty much like yours. So long as you space out your meals, with all the walking around you should be hungry again. I think your plans look perfect!

Your plan looks great. We are using DxDP for our next trip w/o our teenagers. Like you, we are using lunch credits to--finally-try signature dining. I think that makes lots of sense. We like a sit down breakfast so we're doiing one very day and using snacks as needed for lunch. FYI, the Wave in the GF is fabulous. We really enjoyed it. One credit TS and a bit more adult than many WDW restaurants. Also a nice bar--again, a bit more adult. And quiet. Have a great time!

I don't see the times of the meal . That to me was the most important thing, besides location. Make sure you eat early for BF, 7-9 lunch 11:30 to 1 and dinner 5 t0 7... keep them spaced out, we did kinda the same, 2 credit dinners and used the snacks or 1 TS for breakfast or lunch... Don't eat too late, or over eat at a buffet, and once again keep them spaced out , and not to late for dinner this is most important it will make a ruff night and you will feel too full the next day for breakfast. ... A good example of a great food day was CS BF at pepper market 7:30am, we ate outside over looking the water. Snacks at 11 and 3, then dinner at Cal grill 6pm. We were able to trade in 1 TS for the cs at pepper market and 2 snacks , which we used for water during the day. don't know if they still do that... have fun ......

Since it is only you and your DH(not kids), you should plan/space your dinner ADR's much later. We have always use the Deluxe plan and have no problem using all the TS. We are not breakfast eaters, so we always have an early lunch between 11 to 12 noon.
