Just to be clear, there is nothing preventing an AP holder from staying on a room+ticket package. Some folks find the DDP to be such a great deal they are willing to buy 1-day tickets they don't need at the moment in order to get it.
If you stay on DVC points you don't need to add a ticket (at DVC resorts).
You also cannot use AP or FL Resident discounted rates with the DDP. Something to take into consideration. If you can get a discounted room, you maybe better off just paying for your meals or using DDE.
