Its me and my wife's late honeymoon, and we are on the deluxe dining plan. This is her first time in Disney, and I haven't been here in about 6 yrs. Just want to see if anyone can make any comments, suggestions or recommended adjustments. 5 nights also. 23-28 so I guess 15 credits.

Day 1 Arrive at 9:00am going to Epcot,
Lunch - Le Celleir
Dinner - Royal Banquet Hall

Day2 Magic Kingdom
Late Lunch - Castle, Royal Table
Dinner - Crystal Palace

Day 3 MGM studios
Lunch - Sci Fi
Dinner - Mama Melrose (not sure about this one, may switch to brown derby)

Day 4 animal kingdom / Epcot
Lunch - Tusker House (not sure about this one, may switch to yak and yeti)
Dinner - Garden Grill

Day 5
Lunch - TBD
Dinner - Narcooses
 
You need more meals. You get 3/day with deluxe, and you only have 2 double credit meals, so you're missing some.

Since you're probably not all that into characters, I won't recommend character breakfasts to you! Kona is awesome at breakfast, and you should have a few breakfasts. Because you should. Because you can. Turf club is a nice steakhouse, since you appear to like steakhouses!

I'd do hoop-de-doo for a night, just for the pure comic relief of it. Might as well, you've got the credits. I'd probably skip CP for it. Unless you're super into winnie the pooh. CP has a great breakfast.

The food at cinderella's table, IME, kinda sucks. The inside of the castle is gorgeous, and you get to see the pretty pretty princess. But you're going for the experience, not the food. And since I assume you don't have several pre-pubescent girls with you, Cinderella might not be that big a draw.

I'd probably replace garden grill as well, unless you love Chip and Dale. Or thanksgiving. Because GG is mostly Thanksgiving dinner with giant squirrels.
 
For your honeymoon, I don't think you could beat the atmosphere of the Coral Sea. I would consider that instead of Garden Grill. There are plenty of food choices there, you don't have to have seafood. Just a thought.

What about Victoria and Albert's too? Just for such a special occasion.

You have credits to burn, I would switch to Brown Derby, I wasn't wowed with MM.
 
I disagree with the pp--my guess is you are staying 4 nights and therefore have 12 meal credits.

For the missing lunch, I'd probably do Captain's Grille or Raglan Road.

Oh, and we love Mama Melrose's

Actually 5 nights.
July 23-28

We are saving some credits for when we need breakfast, but that is flexible since we figure we can get a big breakfast and just split it most mornings.
 
I wish you put what time you're planning to have these meals, i think that would be helpful.

Day 1 Arrive at 9:00am going to Epcot,
Lunch - Le Celleir
Dinner - Royal Banquet Hall
I don't see how you're going to be hungry to eat at the Royal Banquet Hall after having lunch at Le Celllier unless it's a super early lunch and a late dinner.
Day2 Magic Kingdom
Late Lunch - Castle, Royal Table
Dinner - Crystal Palace
Again, having a late lunch and then being hungry again for dinner? Probaly not. I don't know how you are though obviously, but i'm not a light eater and i couldn't do it. I would do the castle for breakfast (it's fantastic!!) and do California Grill for dinner. That's at the Contemporary right? I always hear it's sooooo great!
Day 3 MGM studios
Lunch - Sci Fi
Dinner - Mama Melrose (not sure about this one, may switch to brown derby)
We just at a burger/fries/shake when we went to Sci fi for a 1:30 lunch and I think i only had a banana for dinner. It's just really heavy food. If you go for lunch, make it super early and then a latish dinner.
Day 4 animal kingdom / Epcot
Lunch - Tusker House (not sure about this one, may switch to yak and yeti)
Dinner - Garden Grill
I'm sorry but i'm repeating myself....lunch and dinner is a lot. It doesn't seem like it on paper, but you'll see, it will be.

Day 5
Lunch - TBD
Dinner - Narcooses

I would throw in more 2 credit type meals: California Grill, Castle, Hoop Dee Do, etc.

If it were me, i'd have breakfast (1 credit, except castle day and it'd be 2 credits), then use snack credits mid day and then have a 2 credit dinner.
 
this would be what *I* would plan - I would be using the GF as my resort ( for resort meals)

Day 1 /Epcot:
Lunch - Le Celleir
Dinner -Coral Reef

Day 2/MK
breakfast- 1900 park fare
Lunch - crystal palace
Dinner - Royal table

day 3 /HS
breakfast - GF cafe
Lunch - brown derby
Dinner -hollywood & vine

day 4 / AK
breakfast - Kona Cafe
Lunch - tuskar house
Dinner ( AKL) Boma

Day 5/ Resort
No breakfast /in room
Lunch - Narcoossee's
Dinner - V&A chef table

Edited to add: I would also plan it so
all breakfast would be between 7am - 9am,
lunch between 11am - 1pm
Dinner between 7pm - 9pm.
that way we would never still "be full" from the previous meal - ( we are big eaters)
