We bought APs for the first time and I never really thought about reserving park days - our thinking was that the parks never close (hardly ever) due to capacity so what did it matter. I regret it now since I couldn't get MK booked for any of the AP days we will be there. So we'll try for the
DVC day and then 1pm bookings I guess. It does make me wonder if I really understand how to use APs...
