Solo table service dining

[peachiepie]

My solo trip is coming up in January and I'm starting to think about dining. I had been planning on sticking with quick service, but I'm now wondering about adding some table service.

Where do people recommend for table service solo dining?

If you feel awkward about it Sci-Fi is a nice one since it’s got the movie clips running. You’re placed in a car as a hitchhiker and promptly ignored by the rest of the car as the restaurant experience doesn’t lend itself to small talk.

If you want something to do I like to download a book onto my iPhone. Keeps me distracted from those around me while keeping my from scrolling social media/news.

TBF I'm not awkward about being on my own. I'd rather not be forced into a social interaction with group. I'm happy to dine alone, I'd prefer somewhere were people didn't feel they were forced to include me, or leave me feeling like is gatecrashed another group.

I eat solo pretty often at WDW since my travel companion is often done in at that point. I don't go anywhere where there's a group table (I gather Biergarten is like that) and I'm not usually into character meals but I love Tusker House, so I always have a meal there every trip, either with my travel companion (my sister) or by myself.

OP, you should just go to the TS restaurants that you like and avoid the places with group seating. I don't know where all those places are, but perhaps someone else will chime in and let you know. You might want to avoid '50s Prime Time, since there's interaction with the waitstaff, but you wouldn't be seated with anyone else at your table, if that's your main concern. You'd probably be seated with a group at Hoop De Doo as well, but that's another animal altogether.

And enjoy those single-rider lines! The one for RotR is always quite short.

The bars at Flying Fish and Steakhouse 71 are great for solos who want a good meal.

I personally also like Jungle Skipper Canteen, Jiko, Hollywood Brown Derby, and Wine Bar George.
