hmmmm.....it's probably as good as any breakfast solo.....
the buffet is very good, with a nice selection....and the servers are nice....
it's a very big place, so you might feel a bit overwhelmed...
that is, there aren't any little nooks and crannies....just a huge area (or maybe two huge areas, i didn't pay attention what was on the right when we walked in)....but it is a pretty place..

the second time we ate there we liked it a lot more than the first....the first time i really felt like i was being railroaded through....as if they were rushing me to eat fast, take pictures fast and get the hell out of there..

the second time felt more liesurely, but maybe because we were celebrating my mom's 78th birthday...

i guess it would be ok solo.....but it is a really big open place.....so if you prefer small and intimate, this isn't the place....

If you are solo at CP, leave something at your seat (something notable but not valuable) each time you head up to the buffet. That will prevent them from clearing your table and seating someone else there while you are away - LOL. I'm not saying it will happen, but it has, many times. Some people make a little sign for the table. Others leave a visible item. Anything will do as long as it isn't too small (If you left sunglasses they might think it was accidental).

I've eaten at CP solo many time, I'm a reader so I leave my book at the table when I go for a refill. Eyeore alway's stops over and the rest say hi----My only problem has been if the server isn't around or I can't find the attendent, I sometimes miss picture opportunities (A definite at Donald Breakfastasaurus at AK--I very rarely get a photo op Solo) But I keep going, the food is great and I love the atmosphere.
