I'm so over this waiting game...these September dates and the F&W menus. My 30 days is 8/4 and if they still are not released by then I think we are going to pass. Disney sure knows how to show their appreciation to its loyal repeat customers. 

I think we will just skip them. No use paying to feel uncomfortable. I know many are very social and think it is no big deal, but I get nervous about it. ThanksAs posted on MDE:
"Communal seating is pre-assigned and Guests may be seated with other parties."
It's also the policy for the SW and JBJB dessert parties.
I know it shouldn’t be a big deal, but it is for me. I like people, honest, just worry because not all people have a nack for socializing.It really isn’t a big deal. If you don’t feel like making small talk, just focus on talking with whoever you’re with and I’m sure the other couple will do the same.

I often travel alone with my now 10 year old and I've found beveridges help![]()
I'm traveling alone with my soon to be 7 and 5 year olds, and I'm looking forward to the beveridges, too![]()
yes, I have found there is a nice comfort zone between being totally sober and "wait, are you really saying I have a child!?"

BWAHAHA!!! So funny! Lisa F, I'm a total lightweight, unfortunately, so I have zero comfort zone between sober and possibly losing track of my son! I shall have to pass on the delicious beveridges. More for all y'all!

Myself and my husband this trip.Just curious. How big is your party? Just you or two?
Yeah, trust me, I get it. Is your husband similar to you in that respect? If not, he can hog the conversation for both of you until the ice is broken. Or position your bodies in a way that blocks you from others. Just some thoughts. I know what your situation is like. I tend to view it like flying in an airplane next to another passenger. Hopefully they are not major talkers, but if you make it a point that you don't look toward them, then that may hopefully keep the atmosphere more to your liking...or you could just hang out with the nice CMs.Myself and my husband this trip.
He is definitely better at small talk than I am. I will think on it until the announcement and decide then if I want to endure it.Is your husband similar to you in that respect? If not, he can hog the conversation for both of you until the ice is broken.
Our table-mates in Feb had what I'd call a relatively high Disney experience level. Traveled there often, knew a lot about the parks, etc. I spent most of the time wondering if they were DISers.![]()
We socialize with strangers all the time at WDW. Monorail, waiting on the parade, waiting in line etc. I think it's interesting to see where people came from or if they are locals. We're just a friendly family![]()

We've stood at the stand up tables at F&W and have had strangers ask if they can join us to have a place to set their food. We never object and it's never been a bad experience. I guess we've been lucky to get good people.I don't mind when someone strikes a quick conversation with me and we go on our separate ways but something about sitting down with strangers to eat at a table just doesn't seem like fun to me.
Would that qualify as carbo loading?One table-mate was enjoying the adult refreshments available at the party in a manner in which perhaps one would not normally expect with a half marathon just 8 hours away.
