For 2 adults, which one would be more cost effective to pay OOP since I have 1 to many ( I also have CRT dinner which Im definitely using DDP for and Yak & Yeti which Im using Landry birthday rewards for)

Jungle Navigation Co
Chef Mickey Breakfast
Cape May Buffet (dinner)
Coral Reef
50s Prime Time
Mama Melrose
Tonys
 
I would say either Skipper Canteen or 50's Prime Time. Look at the menus and pricing to figure out how you'll eat at each of those places to determine which one would be cheaper for you.

Chef Mickey's & Cape May are expensive.
 
Definitely use your dining plan for the buffets. For the table service I would check menus and decide. If there is a place that you would prefer apps and dessert, for instance, or you see something you want to share, do that OOP.
 
The BEST plan would be to choose two of the a la carte places and pay for one person OOP and one person with DDP. Whoever wants the expensive entree uses the plan, then you share the dessert. Depending on your appetites, you could easily just pay for an app to share and share the whole meal.
 

The buffets and character meals will generally always be more expensive. I know at 50s PT, in the past, we have been able to order a milkshake as our non-alcoholic beverage, and still get a dessert so that would probably be a good DDP option too. For the others, look at the menus and see if there's one that doesn't have a dessert that appeals to you or one that has a relatively inexpensive entrée you think you'd order.
 
I think the non-buffet meals are all going to be in the $20-30 range for an entree, depending on what you order. The buffets/character meals are going to be $40+.

Agree with using the DDP for the buffets.
After that, look at the menus and see what you probably would order and figure out which one will be cheapest.
In general 50's Primetime looks to be the cheapest as others said.
 
50’s primetime and Tony’s both are better oops as most meals there are on lower cost end by Disney standards. I would recommend the Plaza restaurant over Tony’s. Much better plus unlimited shakes.
