RDP (DDP) Choices- Help?

[Moeluv4u7]

Okay we are decided on our Dining Plan - hence "RDP" Regular Dining Plan-
6 adult aged and 1 child...
Check in April 12th & check out April 16th So we have 4 nights...

I have
Narcoossee's- 2 TS- Grand Floridian
*Chef Mickey's- 1 TS- Contemporary- *Figured as a Character meal a great deal
Ohana's- 1 TS- Polynesian
Teppan Edo- 1 TS- Epcot

We will also be eating at T-Rex OOP on our arrival day for the kids & experience

& it has been very hard to break it down to these four since we are planning on seeing Fantasmic- no dining choice based on the show...
I really wanted to see HoopDeeDoo but that will wait...
I am very intrigued by Spirit of Aloha- that too, will have to wait...
many other restaurants we want to try but will have to wait until July...
Among them,
Raglan Road
Citrico's
Cape may
Marakesh and many others

Of those choices I have listed above as my final four, which one should I drop or change- (We will only have 4 TS credits to use and I have Narcoossee's which count as 2 TS) Oh! & unless someone can give me a very good reason to drop Narcoossee's I can't give up on either the surf n turf entree or the Maine Lobster...
I haven't seen any other menus with lobster - anyone?
Thx

So, am I correct that Chef Mickey's is 1 TS- I have not seen anything that says different...

we really liked our breakfast at Chef Mickey's (meaning we liked the food...but just 2 adults so we just waved at the characters. The kids sitting around us all enjoyed them, though.) Are you paying out of pocket for this, because with 4 nights you only have 4 table service credits, so with Narcoosee's in there, you really only get 3 sit-down/buffet restaurants.

Try the Tangierine Cafe using one of your counter service credits for lunch one day...it's the same type of food you'd get inside at the Marrakesh table service. WE really enjoyed the shwarma platter - gives a nice sampler of Moroccon food.

As for the Narcoosee's ressie...well, we've done a couple of 2 TS restaurants, and frankly we don't think they were worth the 2 TS credits. For that much $$ value, we thought they just really didn't deliver that much better a dinner than the one TS meals. And the time involved is just too much if you're on a short trip...figure at least 2 hours at a signature restaurant (not including wait time to be seated.) Not worth it - but that's Just our opinion, of course. Personally, if you want seafood, I would drop Narcoosee's and go for Coral Reef. If you want a good steak at 1 table service, go for The Wave at the Contemporary, or Kona Cafe at the Poly, or Grand Floridian Cafe.

Chef Mickey's isn't listed as 2 TS credits- Am I wrong? Is it 2TS and just not listed properly or am I not looking at the correct source?
I must change things again if that is the case- I would possibly still do Chef Mickey's but it then would definitely be OOP-
We would like to try Coral Reef but it is not an acceptable substitute for Narcoossee's because they don't have Lobster... or it is not on the menu... Anywhere else for lobster and steak (ribeye or filet mignon)?
Thx for any suggestions.

I am going to take catne's advice on Tangeriene Cafe for a CS - that seems like it will give us a taste of what may be to come at Marakesh in July-
However, I still need help on which of my four choices to let go and the CS meals will fall into place- no problem...
Anyone with any help or am I on my own- Are they all "not to miss" restaurants?
I would love some help- Thx!
