Last minute trip had its ups and downs, but also magical moments. Loved, loved, loved the
MNSSHP -- hope to go again; like so much at WDW, can't do it all in one trip. It was a solo trip meeting up with family for part of the time. I love going solo, and it's so much less expensive. Stayed in an off-property timeshare, did my own food (only one meal at WDW and a couple of snacks), have an AP, so mostly just the cost of gas (and souvies from the outlets). I do make it a 2-day drive so also motel costs; most folks can drive from Asheville in one day, but that's too hard at my age). Next scheduled trip is during DGS' spring break, so much more complicated.
