I went solo for my birthday in June 2011... I even almost finished a trip report about it, lol. I would say if you have a loyalty card for any major hotel chain check out their Anaheim locations. Since my sister works for Starwood I was able to stay at the Sheraton Park Hotel for under $50 per night for 3 of my nights. I also found it easy to get a counter service meal mid-afternoon and it would carry me through to the end of the night since the portions are so large. Also look at the locations with interesting kids meals as the portion is often enough for an adult with a normal appetite. HTH
