I never thought I'd say this, but character meals are great for solo diners. I finally got brave enough to try one this last solo trip. You've definitely got something "Disney-like" to watch while you eat. It's so much fun to watch the characters interact with the kids. And no one looks at you-they're too busy watching the characters. And the characters are very in-tune to your wishes. After the first time by, Minnie and Goofy would wave or kiss my hand as they went by. The bar/open kitchen area at Jiko's is another great place. Wherever you go, be sure to tell them when you check in that you're dining solo and want a seat near a view of something to make the time go by-I've gotten lots of window seats that way. It really helps!
