Not true. We have APs and we booked under the free dining last year and then again this year. We booked the package with one-day non-park-hopping tickets. Our APs expire late in December and we applied the cost of our one-day to the renewal price back in December. We'll be holding this year's passes until this December to apply to a 10-day pass. We're going to DL-Toyko and perhaps Hong Kong next year and won't need Orlando APs.
