Changing subject a bit: Royal Palm Club is great. Love Gayle and Laurette. They are the sweetest. But try floor 14 at CR sometime. 14 not 12. My DH likes CR 14th floor the best I like GF 4030 or 4021 the best. We always eat at great places when together. So I don't do when alone but I to think it is a great idea to do so alone if do not normally do so. I feel so safe in the Disney bubble alone. Not something I feel in many other places we travel. Here's to going it alone when we so desire at the most Magical Place on Earth!!!!! Pixi dust does exist .
DH said he won't go back until Club Level is open again. I like the rooms at CR better than GF because of their size and layout. But DH loves RPC so much that we took his entire family in Jan 2020 for his mom's 90th birthday. I LOVE 4401 - it's a bit of a walk at the very end of the hall but that theme park view with the monorail going by on the side is just wonderful.
As to eating alone at TS: DO IT! If you're uncomfortable at first, take a book or watch a YouTube on your phone to keep you company. Or just watch the people.
When my children were little and I never got to even go to the bathroom alone I began going out to lunch at least once week. It was such small act of self-care - away from co-workers and not having to be a "mom" - that I now see that solo dining as an opportunity to just treat myself with kindness. And it's so nice to order just what I want - which sometimes is simply an appetizer or dessert and coffee
