Agreed. But it doesn't even come close to the result from the Leave a Legacy idea.

This is how the argument usually goes:
Side 1: I don't want to have to stand in line with all of my kids when my husband/wife/parents can take them to the table. It keeps the line less crowded and I don't have to deal with my cranky kids/old parents/large group.
Side 2: I was here first, got in line, waited for my food, and got my food. I don't want to walk around and see a bunch of tables full of people who got here after me with no food holding tables for people in line.
I think both sides have merit so no matter what Disney does half of the people will not like it. I am almost always solo so would slide into side 2 easier. At the same time though I am not afraid to stand and eat (if it is a sandwich), walk to an attraction and eat on the way, or just walk up to a table with another solo person and ask if I can share the table. That's why I say either way I can live with it. It's one of those things that just aren't a big enough deal for me to worry about.
Hi all I was just appalled when I heard of the new quick service seating arrangements. I'm single and have no children but a regular traveler to the parks and many other crowded locations around the world. Parents need the ability to keep their children safe in busy food areas. Last year, I had the pleasure of attending Washington D.C. on the 4th of July. I went to a McDonald's for a quick drink turned around and had a toddler run into me. I dropped my supper sized coke on the toddlers head. I was horrified and the mother screamed at the kid, it was just the worst McDonald's experience. My concern is for the kids they are excited, overly tired and not watching what they are doing in a busy area. Having them seated really makes the most sense.
Good luck to the familys', I promise to hold my coca-cola high from now on!

I never understood the "My kids are tired" reasoning for getting a table before your food. Aren't your kids tired in the lines for attractions? Aren't they tired walking around the parks? If they're that tired, take a break on a bench and then proceed to the restaurant.
