My First Ever Solo Trip... Where To Eat That's Not QS?

[PISCESANGEL]

I'll be there the same dates as well, also on my first solo trip!
I think it's great to hear that so many others are doing this, as I was feeling a little anxious about it at first.
Hope you have a great time!

I ate ate Boma solo in December, I find buffets work well. But as someone else said, eat where you want, who cares if you're dining alone?

I second Boma as a favorite for solo dining. I usually try to get an early reservation around the time they open. This improves the chance I can get a seat off to the side (and not sandwiched in between two other parties). The host who seated me last time was enormously considerate in picking the best place for me. Close to the buffet line and not situated among big families.

So I think a great place to eat solo is at biergarten in Epcot. Great atmosphere and you are seated at a table with other people so it's a great way to meet and chat with people from around the country. perfect place to be solo IMHO. They also have musicians that play and stuff. Lots of fun!

Biergarten is divisive among solo travelers. Some people love the communal aspect of meeting other people. Others find it awkward depending on who you get, especially if you're that one guy who is invading the dining table of a large family, and now you're intruding into their space. For me, it's a pass. But for you, it might be a favorite.
