So here's another complication: I submitted the email request for cancellation for my AP before the August 11 date, but it hasn't been processed yet - no refund yet and my expiration date still shows the extension. I also have two comp tickets from singing in Candlelight Processional last year that still expire at the end of this December, so I have those both assigned to my account.
However, since all the AP reservations are gone for the day/park that I want, MDE won't let me book reservations for that day, even though there are single-day-ticket spots available. It's not letting me pick which kind of reservation I want and it's only considering the AP, even though I also have those comp tickets assigned to myself. If I switch the comp ticket to a family member's name, it shows that I can make the reservation, but when it's on my account, the AP overrides it.
I guess I can just make another profile for myself that was never connected to my AP? It's just frustrating that my AP (which I even cancelled already!) is actually making it *harder* for me to get in the park if I decide to go.
