I'll be at the Swan next year for a convention and it will be my first real trip back to WDW in over a decade! Might be joined by family/friends/conference attendees for a day or two of the trip but I anticipate a good amount of time exploring the parks (particularly Epcot/DHS) solo.
My goal is to avoid ADRs as much as possible and focus on the "single rider line" experience of dining/drinking via hitting up as many of the "sit at the bar" type places around the parks and resorts. I know that most of the hotel restaurants have bars and the MK restaurants have none but otherwise its a bit confusing as to where you can and can't just "show up" solo and have a reasonable chance of grabbing a bite on the spot at the better places?
For example, Space 220 Lounge would seem like a walk up opportunity but even that requires reservations (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/epcot/space-220-lounge). Is there a bar area there that's still considered walk up?
Anyone seen an updated, authoritative list on a post here or somewhere else? I've looked around but haven't seen anything specific to this kind of use case.
