Looking for opinions on various options being considered...

We will be staying at CSR in July. My niece & her fiance, who live about an hour away, are coming to spend a day with us. We are going to spend the day at Blizzard Beach, then go back to our room to shower & change.

Now for the dinner part... my original plan was to go to DS for the evening & have dinner at Morimoto Asia. But now I am thinking of splurging and surprising everyone with an Illuminations cruise. If we do that, our 6:30 Morimoto ADR won't work, since we need to be at the Yacht Club dock at 7:45.

So now I'm debating a few options:
1. eat at Morimoto earlier. But how early would we need to eat in order to be at YC on time (keeping in mind 5 of us will need to shower & change after we leave BB, before going to dinner)? I don't want it to end up feeling like I overscheduled the day.
2. Eat at our resort - Rix Sports Bar & Grill or Maya Grill?
3. Eat somewhere at Yacht Club / Beach Club / Boardwalk. I'd love it if I could get an ADR at Beaches & Cream, but there's no availability at this point.

Also, if I splurge on the cruise, I'd like to not spend too much on dinner.

Any opinions as to the best approach?
 
Sorry - thought I was in the Restaurants Board, not the Dining plan board. I'll repost there...I would delete but I'm not sure how / if I can.
