More California Grill Questions

[PrincessDreams2]

I didn't want to hijack Supersmartguys thread, so here goes:

What does your 2 TS credits get you at California Grill? I noticed the menu says "first course" and "main course" and the sushi is totally separate. Is the sushi considered a main course?

Is is worth using 2 credits, or better just to pay for it? I am already going to pay for Cinderella's Royal table outright in order to save my TS credits.

It will be just DD4 and myself with the dining plan.

We used two credits each to eat at the CG for our wedding anniversary on May 28th. You only get a main course, a beverage and a dessert. DH ordered a side salad which we paid OOP. The food was very good and we had an Epcot view and were able to see the Epcot fireworks in the distance. We didn't stay for Wishes since it was at 10 PM and were done eating at 9.
I had the pork and DH had the beef:

If it's the standard DDP then you won't get the appetizer any more. Sushi used to be considered an appetizer. You'll get the main course, beverage, and a dessert. We enjoy CG and are going back this Sept. I don't know if you can get sushi as an entree.

I would pay for DD OOP and save her 2 TS at least. I've found that the 2TS for the kid's meals isn't really that good of a use of credits. But, we are 2 A and 1K. My DM and I share a few meals, and with the 2 TS we save from DD's 2 TS meal, we can have one more meal.
