Should I pay for CRT and save my credits?

[DisneyDreams4P&B]

I am at my wits end, trying to plan this vacation has seemingly turned out to be similar to the Invasion of Normandy. In addition to trying to figure out when my family will be hungry and if there are any reservations at that time, I am now stuck with the decision of whether or not to use 2 TS credits to pay for our (don't know how I got em) Cinderella's Royal Table reservations on our last day (we will be going home that day) which would cost me @ 140.00 (with tax and tip included give or take a few dollars) and save the credits for during the week (thinking that the cost of 2 dinners would far outweigh the cost of the CRT. Or should I pay for dinner and possibly eat more counterservie than I would like, to save on the cost. If you are as confused as I am..nice to have you here!!

Any suggestions, help, or doctors willing to prescribe Prozac??

Thanks

(P.S. - This is factored on 2 adults and 2 children (ages 7 & 4)

I think that most people on the board say that CRT is not worth using 2 counter service credits on. I have a CRT breakfast reservation for just me and my DD and I'm planning to pay OP for it.

I think you would be better off making a couple of more table service ADRs and plan on paying for Cinderella's in cash. It just doesn't seem worth 2 credits to me. Also if something comes up and you miss one of your ADRs, you can still use your remaining credits to pay for half of your meals, 1 adult and 1 child. This helps to avoid being left with table credits you can't use.

We paid for CRT and booked 2 more ADR's. We decided it was a better option since CRT is only 40.70 per adult and the other restaurants are usually around 30.00 so it's better financially to do it that way.

2 different CM's even recommended we do that too while we were making our ADR's and making so many changes lol

We too have a breakfast reservation for CRT, and we are paying OOP for it (2 adults, 2 kids (8 & 9 yrs old). I would suggest paying for it yourself, from what I've heard also it is not worth spending 2 TS credits on, and you'll get more for your money (or lack of money - yay free dining!) if you pay for it yourself.

i agree, and am so frugal that i wouldn't do 2 credits for any meal... i would rather pay OP and save the full TSs for another time (could have a meal the night of your check in or the morning of your check out)

Thanks everyone for your help, I think we will pay OOP for it and add the credits back into our planning.

For us when we use our credits for 2 TS thingys, we use some of our snacks for lunch to make up for things and a cs for a dinner. we have rarely paid for anything OOP when using the DDP
