Solo dining tips please

[tjmw2727]

Ok solo disers,

I am doing my second "semi-solo" trip in early April and honestly I am dreading eating alone but don't want to do all CS or miss some great places. My sil is joining me for 2 of my 4 days so we will hit my favorites together but what to do the other two days.

I travel often for business mostly solo and even after years of having to I just don't like solo dining. Its a necessity during business trips and I grind it out but I am looking for alternatives for my WDW trip. Strangly enough I am more comfortable sitting at a bar to eat, with or without a "beverage" but I don't like solo at a table.
I know weird but true!

I am really looking forward to all other aspects of my solo portion of the trip btw - just not the dining.

I am trying to think of counter/bar service type places I can have a nice meal without sitting at a table alone. I have come up with some and would love your comments and suggestions on those I have missed.

So far I can see myself doing, Rose & Crown at the bar, Beaches & Cream at the counter and definately 50's Prime Time at the bar. Honestly that along with some CS would get me through but I wonder if there are some good places I am missing. I love the Concourse at CR and SIL and I are not doing that one. Is there a bar area serving the same food, esp the burger and soups?

Any comments and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You can try Mitsukoshi Teppanyaki where they seat eight people to a table. You would be placed with probably two groupings. Similarly you can try Biergarten, where they also have the tables set for large groups.

In both of these situations you will probably be seated with at least one or two groups, and unless you can't hold your own you should be bale to get involved in conversations.

This is especially true if you are very familiar with WDW and the others at the table are not; you can be an expert resource. I know I do this from time to time.

Thanks - I like the idea of biergarten especially if the show is on! Off to check the menu!

The Sci-Fi is great for a solo. (I am usually seated in the back of a car.)

I also like 'Ohana, as there's lots to see and lots of activity. I feel very comfortable there.

The Coral Reef is good, too--the aquarium is wonderful! Lots to see.

The CM's are great to me when I'm alone.
