Wow. This is so confusing. hahaha. So I just purchased a ticket for May 7 and was able to book AK even though the calendar is saying the only park with reservations that day was Epcot. I see what everyone means now. I've decided to leave my conference early and make my Disney day the 7th, which isn't ideal, but is ok. Then maybe the 8th I can explore Disney Springs or Universal or something. So, if May 8 is grayed out, there is no opportunity to buy a ticket that day and that won't change, correct?
Thanks everyone for being patient with my denseness. lol
