Actually the days I go without a plan are usually my most enjoyable, because we just do what ever we feel like doing at that moment in time. I have enough planning in my life getting everything that is supposed to be done done, and getting kids where they are supposed to be etc.
Agreed. To clarify. People we used to go with didn't have a clue aobut what the options even were. They missed parades, Fantasmic, special eating choices. etc..because they didn't research enough to know they existed..it's the liitle things that make it so special. Some people don't even know about fast passes.
So..no..we are not commando planners and tourers, but we do realize if we really want to ride something we need to hustle there and not be all surprised and shocked when there is a huge line at Indy at noon. I guess the term is not so much 'plan' as be aware of how things work and what options there are.
One time when we went we discovered the Broadway cast of Beauty and the Beast was playing in LA. Naturally we saw it as a great chance to go, so invited our friends who went, loved it, and admitted that they never would have thought of it.
Also, back in the glorious days of early entry with a breakfast, they just figured, oh..you get breakfast and then do a ride. NO..you do rides and then do the breakfast. I will never forget when Indy opened riding the thing four times straight..just running through the que and hopping on over and over.
That kind of thing.
It is people who don't have a clue what Disney is about and then just wander into the park and don't even know what they are looking for that don't have a good time.
I could not stand to have my day regulated more than a couple ADRs.
They didn't like it and said it was crowded. Gee, really? 
Had they planned a bit or did even a little research before their trip, they would have seen less crowds and had a better time.
