I think it's a difference between the planners and the non planners. Even before FP+ or FP- (not to date myself but I've been to disney many times BEFORE fast pass existed) we always chose our parks well in advance. My father would make a calendar and print it out for all of us so we would know. He would base it on hours each park was open and where we were eating.
Wait maybe I was trained to do it this way.
I'll date myself even more... when I first started going to WDW, we didn't have to plan which park to go to because there was ONLY the Magic Kingdom!
And the only ADR we ever made was for King Stefan's Banquet Hall (former name of Cinderella's Royal Table). You couldn't get in there for dinner without a reservation and you had to plan that in advance by showing up at the restaurant THAT MORNING to make your dinner reservation for that night.
Ah, the good old days.
