Hi Melinda,
Wow, you plan to eat at some of the best restaurants in Walt Disney World! The different dining plans can be a little confusing sometimes, but basically the difference between the Basic Dining Plan and the Deluxe Dining Plan is the amount of of Table Service Meals (sit down meals) that you receive.
The Basic Dining Plan gives you (per person per night of stay):
1-Table Service Meal
1-Quick Service Meal
1 Snack
The Deluxe Dining Plan gives you (per person per night of stay):
3-Table Service Meals
2 Snacks
So the Deluxe Dining Plan is a lot of food to eat especially for children because even the kids meals are very large. With the Deluxe Dining Plan you also need to plan your days around where you plan to eat and you need to leave extra time in your schedule to spend time enjoying the Table Service experience without feeling rushed.
It has been my experience that a Table Service Meal can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours! That being said, some of the restaurants that you mentioned require 2 Table Service Credits each. So for example, you could pay for breakfast, eat lunch at a 1 Credit Table Service restaurant and then dinner at a 2 Credit Table Service Restaurant like Cinderella's Royal Table. This would be a great use of the Deluxe Dinning Plan Credits and make it worth the extra expense of the plan. If you decide to eat a Table Service Meal for lunch and dinner, it is best to get the earliest time for your lunch so that there is lots of time between your lunch and dinner so you will be hungry for dinner.

I hope that you have some magical dining experiences at Walt Disney World on your next trip!
