Meals for 2 night trip... HELP

[DisneyRN51207]

We're checking into SSR Feb. 12th, checking out the 14th and lingering around WDW until about 5 or 6pm. Originally we were only planning on using DDP to see how it works for us with the changes before we commit to it for a longer Oct trip. We weren't planning on getting there until about 11pm (driving from SC when DH gets off work). Our meal plans were Dinner at Teppan Edo the 13th, Breakfast at Whispering Canyon the 14th (pay OOP), dinner at Crystal Palace and then head out on the 14th.

WELL, DH was lucky enough to switch a day at work with someone which allows us to leave 8 hours earlier meaning we will be having dinner in WDW. How we have too many TS meals that we'd like for the number of nights allotted. So.... do we
1) get the DDE card so we can see how it works to either use for the extra dinner and breakfast or pay for all meals. (DDE card could be used again in Oct.)
2) try the DlxDP use the TS credit for Whispering Canyon breakfast (not very good usage of TS credit anyway) and have a signature service meal the first night and book another breakfast. (a LOT of food!)

I'm not opposed to spending 300 bucks on food for 3 days, but I want to see what someone else would do. And gosh is is hard to pick just 2 or 3 places to eat!

You are staying at SSR????? The Turf Club at that resort has decent food, I must admit to having very good meals there.. It is my home resort and I was pleasantly surprised.
