made ADRs, what do you think

we added 4 nights at WDW to a 5 night cruise this coming June. We picked up the dining plan, so have 4 TS picks to use, but more than 4 meals planned. Which would you use the TS's on:

1. Narccoossee's (I know it counts as 2 TS's, but it is our favorite restaurant & DH and I usually both get surf and turf.)

2. 50's Prime time cafe (supper)

3. Crystal Palace (supper)

4. Teppan Edo (supper)

5. 1900 Park fare (breakfast buffet)

Also, does entire party have to use TS at same restaurant. DS will be 7 and this is the first time we had a dining plan for him. Can he share off our meals if we use dining plan?
Correct me if I am wrong: on dining plan for TS you get entree, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage... but no appetizer. Can you sub out an appetizer for one dessert and share both ? Some places I like the appetizers more than the dessert:
one more thing: we each get a CS (for either breakfast or lunch) and a snack also, how can you maximize a CS for breakfast (staying at GF so mostly will eat at Gasparilla's Grille)

Great lineup! Solid!

Your TS choices look great No subbing dessert for appies I'm not sure about sharing dining plan meals (no personal experience) but some on the boards say it's not a problem

I would pay OOP for Narcoossee's. We did that in Sept.

Last time we did a 3 night WDW & 4 night cruise combo and you couldn't add the dining plan so we had to pay for all meals. Soooooo, happy to have had the Disney reward Visa. Since we knew we'd be going for awhile, we charged everything and basically the rewards paid for all our meals. Again we have plenty of reward dollars saved up, so I am pretty sure they can cover on board expenses for the cruise (not planning any excursions in Nassau) and the few meals we will have to pay for. I do think that using 2 TS credits for Narcoossee's is worth it. Last I saw, the surf and turf was $58, and DS can get his own steak !! (as long as there is A1 available).
I am thinking about paying at the 50's Prime Time Cafe, that is our first night and DS might not eat well. For the other OOP, I am thinking breakfast at 1900 Park Fare might be the cheapest, but I'll have to check pricing !!
