Teppan Edo and Tokyo Dining are both great in my book
Day 2 -
Breakfast - Tusker House
Lunch - Flaming Tree BBQ
Dinner - Ohanas - ANYONE been, is it a good choice for dinner?
Ohana's is great for dinner as well
Day 3 - (Halloween Party Night)
Breakfast - Whispering Canyon Cafe
Lunch - San Angel Inn
Dinner - Tony's Town Square
IMO, the ony thing about San Angel is the Mexican food is a little odd in its flavor palette. Many people have commented it was not quite the "mexican food" they were expecting. Don't get me wrong, the food was OK, but not what we expected. Personally, we would much rather go to Rose & Crown or Chef de France
Day 4 -
Breakfast - Cinderella's Royal Table

Dinner - Le Cellier

Day 5 -

Lunch - ??
Dinner - Fantasmic Dinner & Show - Brown Derby.. Is it worth the 2 points?
It's pretty tough to get "equal value" out of any restaurant that takes 2 dining credits. That said, you are on the dlx plan so you may feel using 2 creds is no biggie. The Brow Derby is excellent, but for us we always want to maximize our value, so we would choose Mama Melrose for our Fantasmic package restaurant

You have picked some fantastic places to go. The only thing I would say isa your ressies have yo boouncing all over from park to park to resort (day 3 you go from VWL to Epcot to MK). Seems like a lot of travel time to me.

having done the deluxe a couple of times now, my #1 bit of advice is do NOT plan 3 meals every day. Plan 2 and maybe split a counter service lunch if you're having big breakfast buffet & big dinner. You can easily use up 3 meals a day by planning 1 credit TS and a 2 credit TS a day (whether it's signature restaurants or shows, there's plenty of 2 TS meals.) You can use those gazillion snacks to get some nibbles between the two big meals.

And the biggest tip I can give is plan at least 5 hours between your reservation times...even 6. So if you schedule an 8:05 breakfast, don't schedule lunch before 1:05, preferably 1:30 or 1:45 even. And then schedule dinner before 6:30 or 7:00 p.m. Even if you normally eat 3 meals a day at home, you do not eat this way, believe me! Large servings, apps & dessert at every meal...a lot of food. Fun to try, but a lot of food.

with the PP that three meals a day can be hard to stomach (forgive the pun). I know that when we have a breakfast and dinner, lunch is more like a snack and dinner does not always include appie and dessert. The other thing to consider is the amount of time you will be away from touring with travel to and from the restaurant and the time of the meal.

You might consider another two credit signature meal besides CRT with a breakfast or early lunch and a relaxing, nicer meal for dinner. That way you can hit the one credit places you want.

If I might suggest, there are several threads on the dining review sub thread that are from people using the deluxe plan. Those might be helpful.

I am on the deluxe plan as well and I have no signatures scheduled but with my 3 meals a day they are in the same parks or near the park that I am in for the day. For example,

Dec 12th Hollywood Studios

Breakfast- H&V
Dinner - Cape May

Dec 13th Magic Kingdom Evan's 5th Birthday

B-Chef Mickey's
L-Liberty Tree
D- Crystal Palace

Dec 14th Epcot Day
B-PSB
L-Teppan Edo
D-Lecelliar

Here is what I would do with what you have 2 cut down on travel time I am assuming that you are park HopN it seems that you may be doing 2 parks a day!

Day 1
L or B at CRT
Dinner- Teppan Edo

Day 2
B-Tusker House
L- Yak&Yeti TS
D Ohana is great make sure you dont eat 2 much b 4 dinner! If you are not Park HopN the best thing is 2 schedule all meals in the park or near the park.

Day 3
B- Whispering Cafe
L- Coral Reef
D- Tonys Town Square

Day 4
B-Crystal Palace
L-Plaza
D-Lecelliar

Day 5
B- Chef Mickeys
L-
D-Hollywood & Derby

I don't think that brown derby would be worth 2TS credits. We usually go to Mama Melrose for the fantasmic deal.

I would also consider doing Chefs de France for one of the open lunches we do the soup and sandwich combo and can eat a TS dinner later with out being to full.

i always encourage people to go to their local favorite eatery and order an appy, entree and dessert per person. that is waht dxdp is like.

Now how often do you want to do that? Not to mention the time with 3 adrs per day. Some can do it. many cannot

We have dxdp for just 2 nights in October. We will do boma bfast and jiko dinner. Sunday will be early tutto lunch and FF dinner.

Keep in mind you also have snack credits to use!

DXDP is a lot of food!
