Are there kids going with you? If not, I'd skip Hoop de doo / CRT and would also skip Spirit of Aloha in any case (not good food and a boring show.)

I would book Jiko or California Grill for Dec 8. You can book that day today if you are staying on property, by the way. I just made my Dec 8 ADRs.

Ok, I'll add my 2 cents! Are you staying on property? Do you have access to a car? What ages are your kids? These factors could influence your decisions too...
I think your ADR plans sound great, but definately a lot! I personally couldn't do DXDDP, not only is it a lot of food, but time too. You did state you wanted all-you-can-eat rather than all-you-can-ride, so you should have a great time with it. You definately have some great experiences ahead!

Planet Hollywood is ok for food but fun for the family. I'd prefer Rainforest or T-Rex, but they're not on the dining plan obviously. If you go with adequate expectations of this, you'll be fine.

Sig. Dining experience with your DH...hmm. My personal favorite is California Grill, GREAT food and service and you can enjoy Wished atop of the Contemporary which is a experience all by itself. But I wouldn't call it romantic. Pretty, nice, simple and elegant, but it is loud to me, even later, and lots of kids.
We haven't tried Narcoossee's but stayed at the GF literally right next to it and could smell it every evening and it made my mouth water! It is pretty there at night and would call it romantic.
A lot of people love Yachtsman's Steakhouse at the Yacht Club too.
Jikko is definately on my list, I love the AKL and I find it romantic and the menu looks appealing.
I would read the menus and see what appeals to you the most.

Got kids? I would switch 50's Prime Time with Sci-Fi. I just think kids love, love the Sci-Fi set up. Most unique and memorable, and I know the food gets mixed reviews, but can't go wrong with a burger, onion rings and a milkshake!

Mama Melrose is the only TS in DHS we haven't done yet, but for the Fantasmic package, probably the best you'll get and everyone I know that's done it has said it's worth it. Some love it, some like it and some say it's just eh, so you'll get somewhere in between!

CRT breakfast and HDDR get big from our family. CRT not so much for the food but for the experience and we've done HDDR twice and both times we've loved the food and the show.

This is where your plan gets chocked full of character breakfasts!!
Would you consider rearranging some of them for lunch? We prefer Crystal Palace for lunch.
They are all great and each have their own experience, but I would switch it up a little to get variety in meals.

You have Princess Storybook in Epcot for breakfast and then LeCellier for lunch if you can get it...I do think that would be way too much. You won't be hungry for LC and you definately want to enjoy it! I would try to get dinner to enjoy it, Les Chefs is good also.

I agree with Inkmahm on Spirit of Aloha IF you are going to do 'Ohana as well.
I think both are just too similar with the food and theme. We went 6 years ago, so can't comment on how the food is now, but back then we thought it was good! We only saw half the show, as it got cancelled into it due to rain so we didn't see the whole thing. My kids loved it though, the idea of a luau was awesome to them!

Oh, and unless you want to see the Boardwalk area, I would go with Chef Mickey's over Cape May. Chef Mickey's is just classic!

Good luck with your ADRs and planning!
You can get lots of opinions and feedback, but go with what you want to try! My only advise that trust me on, is not doing back to back TS meals, like breakfast and than lunch.
Have fun!
