I appreciate that there will be mixed opinions about this.
To cut a long story short I have noticed that on MDE as a widow and sometimes solo diner I sometimes seem to find that reservations are vastly different if I try to eat solo rather than as a table of two. Sometimes I cannot get a reservation at all as a solo. For example today searching for 23rd January Beaches and Cream has no availability for a solo, but could seat a two at 20.50.
Chef Art shows only 17.20 or 21.20 as a solo ( beginning and end of service ) as opposed to 18.50 or 19.50 for a two.
This has happened to me again and again to the point that I now mostly just eat offsite. However, when talking to my son about this he said that he felt that this was rather unfair. I completely appreciate that Disney want to fill their tables and maximise use and don't want a solo sitting at a table that could accommodate four people, however under the old system I would just turn up and just wait for next available and I could do that, but I can't now.
This has also happened at different times of the year, and not just busy periods. It is also fairly random whether it happens or not and is not consistent.
So I'm not sure what I feel about this situation. It is obviously the way that the IT has set up the app. Should I just continue to suck it up and eat offsite or email guest communications to let them know that as a solo traveller I shouldn't feel as if I'm being treated in an inferior way if that's what it is?
