Really don't want to dine alone!

[mwill]

Looking for a female Dinner partner 30 - 50 for dining only, "Dutch". No after dinner expectations! Epcot, October 17.

[DisneyBride'03]

So...if it wasnt "Dutch"....would there be after dinner expectations??? There is always "Wishes" if you have dinner at a MK area restaurant:)

[mwill]

only wishes are good conservations at dinner!

Sorry!

He should have went 40-60:rolleyes1
Much better group to choose from:stir: :stir:

30 - 60 is good. Probably more in common around 50, though. I don't believe i divulged if I were a him or her, though. Interesting that a DisneyBRIDE '03 is lurking on the "solo" traveler forumn!

:rolleyes1 You are correct..you did not divulge if you were a "him or her"...I guess I jsut assumed:idea: when you mentioned "after dinner expectations" you were a him....I dont think most "hers" would make that comment;)

Interesting? WHy is that? I am not even "lurking"...I am posting:thumbsup2

"Solo" should not be inferred as "Single"...marrieds can travel "solo"...
Hope you find someone for dinner:flower3:

Actually this is the Adult and Solo forum.

You aren't going to get a dinner companion with your attitude though.

[mwill]

I'm sorry. I was just trying to get a spark out of this thread. I really did not want to portray an attitude. I will be at the bistro Oct 17, 8 PM and will look for a dinner companion before then, unless I "chicken out".
I dine alone quite often when on business trips, always in a restaurant that has a sit-at bar that will serve dinner at the bar. Disney, being a very family oriented place, doesn't appear to have that same type of atmosphere for dining alone the way I fell comfortable with. I am a family person and sort of feel funny sitting by myself at a table alone, around other couples and families. I know i think to myself when we see someone sitting alone at dinner, what their story is and why they are there alone.

Well, I am dining alone at Narcoosees...its a great place..with a bar, not sure if you can eat at it though (?)...Dont feel funny..people only look or notice if you have a screaming toddler during dinner!! lol Never been to the Bistro so I am not sure how it is set up. I do hear servers are great though.
Wishing you a great dinner Sparky:)

Thanks,
I've been to G.F. maybe a dozen times, but have never been to Narcoosees. Always heard good reviews. Tried every other restaurant at G.F. though. All excellent! Sometimes we just sit in the lobby and listen to the piano player and the big time swing bands for hours during xmas holidays. G.F. is my favorite Disney hotel. I won't have time to enjoy the G.F. this time as I am on a very tight schedule. I will be flying overseas late the 17th.
Does anybody else know if there are any "sit down at the bar for dinner" restaurants anywhere in Disney?

[marsh0013]

i'm pretty sure you can sit down at the tune in lounge (50's prime time cafe) bar to eat. i saw many people doing it when i was there. don't know if you're looking for more upscale though.

Captain Jack's in DTD by the Rain Forest has a really nice but casual bar you could enjoy so does the Rain Forest. Most of the restaurants in DTD have sit and eat at bars now that I think about it. Most of the deluxe resorts also have bars you could eat at. California grill would be a nice relaxing atmoshpere to enjoy solo with a nice bar.
Have Fun!

California Grill and Jiko has bar type seating next to the open kitchen.
The Japanese Sushi/Tempura should be open by the 17th also which is a bar type setting.

I might have time to check out the Ca Grille, but I was there in June for drinks and the observation deck fireworks thing. Very expensive for when you eat there. I am planning on staying in Epcot for the evening, and really want to do the wine/food festival to the fullest extent possible. I might consider the Tempura instead of the Bistro. Is it like a BennyHanahs (excuse the spelling)?

There are two parts to the Japanese Restaurant: The teppanaki grill and the sushi/tempura side. Before the renovations the tempura side was a bar like set up where you could watch the chefs make sushi and tempura. The new set up might be set up a bit differently but it still should have somewhere where you can watch the sushi chefs at work. I'm planning on stopping by either the 15th or 17th to eat some sushi/tempura there.

If you do the food/wine festival booths right, you could easily make a nice meal out of the offerings there too.

If you are doing the Food and Wine festival I wouldn't even bother making dining reservations, there are just to many booths and to much food all around the World Showcase, and even if you sample just a few you will not have a whole lot of room left for an expensive dinner....just my opinion though.

Yes, i know what you are saying, been there and done that before. When i was down at the festival 10 yrs ago, the vendors seemed to close up around 5 - 6 PM. Is that so now? I will have back-up res. just in case.

[dahirsh]

The booths will be open until park close, and from what I've heard through evening extra magic hours too

[Wistful_Thinking]

Flying Fish at the Boardwalk has exactly the kind of bar you are looking for and great food to boot.

Not to worry, you can't dine alone! It's impossible. So your're off the hook. :thumbsup2

"Dining" is a social event and it takes more than one to do it. When you are alone, what you are doing is called "Eating". :)
