Single Dining in EPCOT

[DISNEY1975]

I would start by entering your date and time into MDE and see what is available before you get excited over a restaurant you cant eat it. Its free dining period and most of the parks restaurants are already filled.

I agree that $20 is a bit high - However - I see many dishes in Mexico are almost double that... Hmm...

I agree. It's Disney World and a premium product made by real Italians.... I'll that over $10 chicken nuggets at DIS.

I'm slightly surprised that no one has mentioned Akershus in the unique department. I realize that between adding the Princess meet and purportedly Americanizing the menu, it's no longer as interesting for the adult diner with no kids. And perhaps the crowd is enough to disqualify it. But as near as I can tell, the appetizer buffet is still there, and remains uniquely Scandinavian.

As for Italian, my best advice is to move some place where you get better choices than Domino's.

lol... We do have a great local Sicilian pizza place... but no coal/wood fired pizzas.

Good point! Crowd calendars are giving it a 1, but free dining it doesn't matter!

Biergarten is often easy to get a walk up as a single. We have had single walk-ups placed at our table many times and have enjoyed the company. If you don't mind talking to strangers, I think it would be fun. Even if you got with some non-social families, then it wouldn't be much different than eating on your own, but chances are there will be someone at the table that has a conversation with you. It is our must do place every trip. We like the food and enjoy the band. The Bavarian Cheesecake is a must do dessert for us. If I was a single in WS, that is where I would go.

My DH has done a walk up as a single person to Teppan Edo before and is planning on doing it again on our upcoming trip (the girls and I will be at MNSSHP and he wants to hop over to Epcot to dine there and walk around WS), even though we have hibachi style restaurants near us, he still really likes Teppan Edo the best. The first time he did it (in January while the girls and I were at AK), I didn't think he would get in just like that, but then I realized that it would be easier for a single person to walk up and sit down because they always have single chairs opened at the tables. He said it was fun and he met some great people, who didn't mind that he joined their group. I also agree with Biergarten being another place that would be great to go as a solo traveler. My family really enjoys the food and entertainment there, it is a hit or miss though when it comes with who you sit with. The first time my DH and I dined there we were sat with a family who did not like the fact that 2 strangers where sitting with them (they made it obvious by the looks on their faces), but then the next couple times when we dined (with the kids in tow), we sat with some great people who were fun to be around. Good luck OP, and I hope you have a great trip.

I went solo to Spice Road Table and loved the food and the service. While I have not gone to Biergarten solo I would not hesitate to, I've never found the food dry and the beer and atmosphere are excellent!

Considering what is available now... Spice Road may be on the horizon.

Both San Angel Inn and La Hacienda are available... La Hacienda is on the water, but San Angel is inside the ride right?

Anybody have a preference?
