Whispering Canyon as a Solo

I'm not sure it'd be right for me as a solo -- possibly if they put me in a back corner somewhere where I could just watch the shenanigans, but I wouldn't want to be front and center.

I wonder how the servers deal with solos!

Hmm...I didn't know there were shenanigans at Whispering Canyon.

I think they've stopped during lunch, but for breakfast and dinner, your server takes on an old west "character," and pretty much has fun at your expense throughout the meal. Throwing straws and napkins, making funny comments, etc -- it's a lot like the structure over at 50's Prime Time Cafe. All in fun!

There are also "horse races" for the kids on hobby horses....and sometimes the adults get scolded and have to ride their own hobby horse around the restaurant! Also, there's a trick to asking for ketchup -- let me know if you want the spoiler!

Usually, I order a zillion cokes during the meal so that my server eventually just brings out a bucket of coke for me with a really long straw! Then I get a "fastpass to the bathroom" at the end of the meal

Wow, that sounds awesome!

It can be a lot of fun. I'm not sure how good it would be solo. I can't decide if the interaction would be fun or annoying if I was there by myself.

Do you have any room to consider it in your itinerary, or are you all filled up now? I think it's a really good breakfast.

And if you've never seen the Wilderness Lodge it's a really nice resort to visit.

We will be visiting WL, but didn't have room for Whispering Canyon.

Yes indeed! Maybe we'll go for dessert after HDDR!?

Found a list of things to "enhance" your WC experience:

Wear
a Hat or T-Shirt from Universal or Sea World

Tell your server you spent the day at an attraction outside of WDW

Tell the server whose birthday or anniversary it is

Have your kids "egg him/her on"

Have one of the males in the group ask where the restrooms are

Claim your straw is not long enough

Chew gum

Ask the server where you can buy some chewing gum in WDW

Ask for ketchup -- but be ready for a little exercise and team building!

Order a soda for breakfast.

I think I've safely ordered a soda for breakfast. I've seen most of the results of the other ones.

LOL, I might just to be a goofball.

I bet they might come up with some unusual alternatives for you if they see you're intentionally putting them through their paces.

Sounds pretty fun either way!

You'll be plenty full of Strawberry Shortcake after HDDR!!! Though I've heard great things about the bottomless milkshakes at WC...

I think it depends on your personality. I could do it..I am much too reserved!

Dave and I went there once and I think our waitress kind of got the "we really just want to watch the show not be a part of it" vibe and she played around with us a little bit but mostly let us eat in peace while we watched everyone else. She did bring me a huge coke..which little did she know I really appreciated

I think it definitely depends on your personality. I don't think I'd like dining here very much, solo or otherwise. I've heard it can get quite loud because of all the shenanigans (ironic, given the name), and I don't like loud restaurants.
