I have not gone solo but did go with a party of two. I am planning on going by myself in May. They had smaller tables in the middle that looked towards the MK and we had reservations at 9 pm so we got to see/hear the fireworks. It was also less crowded at this time. I would suggest that when you get there ask them to give you less food in the bowls and if you want more get it. THere is a lot of food!!! Definetly worth it. I crave it all the time.
