Hi Kathy!!! So excited to have you along! I am so bummed to hear that we'll just miss each other Hopping over to your PTR to join in on your fun! August will be here so fast!!!Hi Tracy!! So excited to have just "found" you again. I don't know what took me so long!! But I am sad because your August trip and mine come so close to overlapping...but your arrival day is my departure day!!! Such a bummer!! Maybe we can wave in passing lol. Anyway...excited to share in your trip planning!!
Here is my baby, her name is Anga and she’s 10 years old. Her middle name (yes, my cat has a middle name…) is Marie… so-named as her attitude is much like a certain Aristocat we all know and love…
Saturday, August 19 @ 7:05: Liberty Tree Tavern
with none other than @chunkymonkey and her DH! (this is the ADR I’m most excited about because of the company!!!)
Clearly I’m not concerned whatsoever about my Liberty Tree Tavern ADR as I’ll have the fabulous company of Su-Lynn and Steve!
I also just snagged a Le Cellier one yesterday so I’m fairly married to that idea as well because… cheddar cheese soup!
Also, what is your one cannot-live-without table service restaurant? (doesn't have to be on my current ADR list!) I have a good feeling I can guess on some of yours...
Oh, good idea about the patio setting! More opportunity for people watching perhaps, too?I really enjoyed eatiing (and drinking) at both the "lounges" of California Grill and (outside) Hollywood Brown Derby. Whenever I dine solo, I always prefer a patio setting.
the company is the most magical part!
YES!!!Hehe See comment above.
When I said I may know a few of your favorites... this is exactly what I was referring toI would have to say you need something at AK so I was gonna suggest Tiffins!
I know, doesn't it look heavenly!? I've actually never dined in Le Cellier but did get to experience the cheddar cheese soup at a F&W many years ago and it was love at first biteMmmm, the picture of the cheddar cheese soup makes me really want to go back to Le Cellier after a very long absence!
Ahh, yes, I do remember this from your TRI've never dined alone in WDW although when it was just youngest DS and I for a few days last Niv., it felt like Imwas alone at a couple meals since his face was in his IPod
I'm SO excited about this! I met them (along with Su-Lynn's sister) back in May 2015 on a chance encounter on BTMRR (they were only a few rows ahead of me!). I'll cover this happy coincidence in an upcoming update!So awesome you get to do a meal with Su-Lynn and Steve!
Exactly!! And if you time the one at Hollywood right, you can look across to the March of First order or one of the character dance parties!!More opportunity for people watching perhaps, too

I have so many thoughts on this!
Oh I'm so happy to hear that! 50s was really the only restaurant I was thinking I might feel awkward at, but my reservation is at an odd time (3 something) so I was thinking that'd help too maybe.I didn't feel awkward at either of them as the waitstaff was super friendly and my food came pretty fast.
Yeah, I can't imagine a world where I'd give this ADR up!Absolutely go to Le Cellier - the food there is DELICIOUS (and frankly, the tables are so close together that you'll be able to amuse yourself with others' conversations!
I'm so excited for the Fantasmic package! Mama Melrose's is probably the menu I'm least crazy about, but I feel that it'll be worth it for the luxury of the seating later!Having done the Fantasmic package in 2015, I don't think I can do without it now!
Good point! At this rate, this would be the ADR I might cancel, but if I could snag a table by the window...I've never been to Chefs de France, but I'm sure the restaurant would provide many people watching opportunities. Perhaps you could ask for a table with a window for more people watching ability?
I love this restaurant! I was there for a solo lunch in 2015 and I didn't feel awkward one bit!Near the top of my list is Be Our Guest
Good point - and I'm not sure I've been to the GF as an adult... time to fix that!It also gives you a chance to visit the Grand Floridian!
This is a great idea and I've heard fabulous things about this place!Another restaurant I really enjoyed in 2016 was Boma
I'm so glad you said this because I was toying with Via Napoli but I wasn't sure I'd want two Italian restaurants this trip since there are so many other cuisines to experience at Disney and I'm already committed to Mama Melrose's, but this place is definitely on my must-do list... but perhaps I'll wait to be sure I have a companion firstMy other usual "must-do" is Via Napoli, but I must admit that's the only restaurant where I ate solo and missed my usual dinner companion.
I seriously LOLed at this - so true though! But it's something I wouldn't necessarily put past me...It think the only thing that would be awkward is a character meal - you don't have anyone with you to take your picture!
Thanks! I'm pretty excited about themYour ADR plans sounds so nice!
Yay!!! I'm so excited about the package - I can't even remember the last time I saw Fantasmic and that's just unacceptable. This will guarantee I get there this trip!I've done the Fantasmic package (but at a different restaurant) and I loved the seating it provided!

one cannot-live-without table service restaurant?
Jackie!!! So great to have you here. I'm so happy to be back on the Dis, tooHi, Tracy!! I just happened to see you had commented on another TR I was reading!! Nice to see you back on the DIS
Raeven, so happy to see you here! I see you following a lot of others I follow, I'll have to hop over to yours now!I just got caught up and am following along! My favorites are Shulas and Homecomin'. But I've only eaten at Boma solo.
Yes!!! I fully approve!My dog has a full name, no judgement here. Mercury Legolas Newton Artemis Fido Scamander.
That would have been awesome! But hopefully you'll be able to connect with Su-Lynn and Steve!I'm so jealous and wish I could be there for this too!! But I will be meeting them too I hope a few days earlier!!
Yay!!!!!!!I am going to this one too!
You are so right! And so far, I haven't met a single Canadian I haven't liked! Yes, that goes for you, too @pkondzThis sounds delish no matter what the ambiance lol and the ambiance there is kinda dark so...who cares if you are solo!! And also Canadians are friendly
I love it here, too! I've only been for lunch and actually booked a breakfast ADR for this trip but ending up canceling it in favor of a place I haven't yet been. I do love it here!!!Definitely BOG - though I have yet to try it for dinner - can't wait to do that on this trip. But the atmosphere there is just perfect whether solo or not

Sunday, August 20 @ 3:45pm: Le Cellier
Monday, August 21 @ 3pm: 50’s Prime Time Café
Tuesday, August 22 @ 1:55pm: Mama Melrose’s
Wednesday, August 23 @ 1:50pm: Chefs de France
I am concerned that my ADR at 50’s Prime Time may prove to be a bit of the same if this trip works out to be another solo one (and it’s looking good… or bad… that that’ll be the case). @pkondz I'm relying on you since I’m nearly positive you’ve done this one solo!
If you’ve been to any of these places yourself, let me know what you think! What were your favorites?
What were your dear-God-do-not-eat-if-your-life-depended-on-its?
Would you go as a solo traveler?
Also, what is your one cannot-live-without table service restaurant?
