Hi, gordon! I've taken at least 6 solo trips, not counting the ones when I'm solo in the parks only (DH thinks WDW is purely a golf resort!). I tried to do sit-down resturaunts the first few trips, but could never feel comfortable sitting, dining alone. Then I returned to fast food places, but found that if I got up for any reason (rest room, straw, forgot a condiment, etc.), my place was often cleared when I returned! Once I made a trip to the ladies room, and when I returned, a CM had come along and thrown away my tray, along with my much anticipated dessert! So I returned to sit down and carried a little notebook so that I could jot notes on where I'd been, what I'd done, etc. like a trip report, while I ate. Boy, what an improvement! Now I actually look forward to sit down dining, paying for only 1 meal, so I find myself trying more sit down resturaunts. The only ride I ever felt a little foolish on was Cinderella's Carousel, but that was because I chose to try to haul myself up onto a very high horse and struggled. I also sometimes feel a little silly getting on Dumbo and Triceratop Spin, but it's pretty easy to just put those feelings out of my mind when the ride's going.
