Originally Posted By AuroraRose not wanting to be squished next to a stranger while eating is not a personal space issue--its quite normal--i am a firm beleiver in the 3 foot rule : ) i hate when people i don't know invade my space. I was in line at the bank the other day, and someone was so close to me, i just shifted the weight from one foot to another and bumped into her--- and it annoyed me----we probably feel the same way about biergarten--I don't mind sharing a table, my issue arrises when theres room for two more people, and 6 try to squeeze in.

Originally Posted By BunnyCarolyn Ok, regarding the personal space issues...

I've never been dissapointed with the food in Disney but Alfredos was a total bomb! Not to mention I almost knocked over a bottle of olive oil on the other table with my rear... it was probably a six inch opening in between tables!!! Head on down to San Angel Inn or Wolfgang Pucks! Best food in the world!
