Upgrade to Deluxe or pay OOP

[pbmouseman]

OK, I've booked my ADR's for the week. Right now, this is what we have:

1/23 Spirit of Aloha (2 TS)
1/24 Kouzzina (1 TS)
1/25 Cinderella's Royal Table (Lunch) (2 TS)
California Grill (Dinner) (2 TS)
1/26 Rose & Crown Pub (1 TS)
1/27 Chef Mickey (Breakfast) (1 TS)
Artist Point (Dinner) (2 TS)
1/28 LeCellier (1 TS)
1/29 Nothing scheduled yet
1/30 Departure day

As you can see, we would need 12 TS credits per person to do this, and right now we only have 7 pp. To upgrade we'd go to 21 pp, but 7 of those would be used either at QSR's or at 1TS restaurants.

We're traveling with 4 adults and 4 kids (one at the adult rate for DDP purposes), so the cost to upgrade to the Deluxe plan would be a little over $1300. We probably won't do a restaurant for breakfast (other than Chef Mickey), so we're just looking at a need to pay for 5 credits worth of the TS credit restaurants out of pocket (not sure which ones), plus our Friday dinner and Saturday lunch. I could downgrade one of my signature restaurants (probably Artist point, as we want to see the fireworks from Cali Grill).

Any advice?

I am a deluxe dining fan. So I like to choose that but if I was going to pay OOP for the ones you listed I would choose CRT, Spirit of Aloha and Chef Mickeys.

In running the numbers, it seems like that's the best approach. That would cost a less than $900. And we'll still have 2 QSR credits to use on Friday and Saturday.
