OK, I have my schedule planned out and some ADRs made for my spur of the moment trip coming up in 3 weeks and I thought I'd see what folks think. It's just me solo at Saratoga Springs this trip, while my partner stays home with our diabetic cat. I arrive Sunday afternoon 9/23 and leave Friday afternoon 9/28.

9/23 dinner - Cosmic Ray's or Pecos Bill's (EMH night in MK)

9/24 breakfast - in room
lunch - Turf Club Grill at SSR @ 1pm
dinner - Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater @ 8:20pm (EMH night at Studios)

9/25 breakfast - in room
lunch - Rose & Crown @ 12:50 pm
dinner - Raglan Road @ 7:15 pm
PI for Adventurer's Club - KUNGALOOSH!

9/26 breakfast - Rainforest Cafè at AK @ 9 am
lunch - Flame Tree Barbeque around 1-ish
dinner - Jiko at AKL @ 8:20 pm after EMH at AK

9/27 breakfast - Artist's Palette at SSR
lunch - Liberty Tree Tavern @ 1pm
dinner - Tony's Town Square @ 8:15 pm (trying for a window table to watch SpectroMagic!)

9/28 breakfast at DD somewhere quick
lunch at Orlando airport

What does everyone think? Will I feel weird dining alone at Jiko or anywhere else on the list? I had tried for Boma, but it was booked solid, so did Jiko instead. Also tried for Mama Melrose's but couldn't get it or '50s Prime Time so wound up with Sci-Fi; I know I'll be seated in a car with strangers, so if it's you, say hi!!

Pecos Bill--LOVE it! My favorite in MK~
Sci-Fi-Great Atmosphere but not a lot of food choices
Flame Tree-Good Food and decent prices
Tony's Town Square-My least favorite restaurant is ALL of Disney! I hated it but hey you might like it!
Liberty Tree-Love it

OMG, I would LOVE to have a vacation alone! I think you will have a very fun and relaxing time. I can comment on the following:
Turf Club: excellent food, excellent service, great atmosphere. You can dine inside or outside. I recomend the roast beef or the salmon salad.
Sci-fi: Lot's of fun. I don't think you'll be uncomfortable being alone. Most disney people are pretty friendly. I had a pasta dish there that was very good.
Reglan road: Not for everyone but we loved it. It's a bit noisy as it is designed to be an Irish Pub. Great beer choices. Live entertainment. Salmon was awesome, DH had the shepards pie which he said was very good as well.
Jiko: All I can say is filet mignon! I am not a "steak person" I have to really be in the mood and I'm very picky about steak. This was so delicious. The atmosphere there is wonderful, classy.
Liberty tree: Lots of homestyle meals, old colonial atmosphere. Good food. The characters only come out for dinner though so you will not be able to hug chip and dale but I'm sure you'll like it anyway!
Have a geat vacation and enjoy all the good food!

I loved Cosmic Rays, we didn't like the Family Style meals preferring Buffets or ordering from the menu , but that was our preference, so Liberty Tree was not a favorite food wise.The atmosphere and service at Sci Fi were superb I did not like the pasta dish I had or the apple crumble type dessert but the others had steak and loved it , they had different desserts and liked them. However the oreo cookie milkshake was worth another visit just to have again.. absolutely delish!! The onion rings and dip are very good too!

Just an FYI: The family style meals are only served at dinner. During lunch you order what you want from the menu.

Thanks for that info; I wondered how they would do a family-style meal with a solo traveler! Didn't know if I'd be added to someone else's family, or have the whole thing to myself!

Thanks I don't think I checked as Dinner suited our schedule better!But as a solo character meals are not high on my list!!
