I know it isn't a counter service location, but you could do tea at the Garden view Lounge. It is very relaxing, and the food is great!
They also have lots of lounge/seating areas in the lobby that I think would be great to sit with a book, or even just take a monorail ride around the resorts.
I guess I got a little off topic, but the idea of time without kids just sounds great to me. After lots of "family time" following Hurricane Ike and a week off school I am just batty to be alone!
