So, how does someone protect themselves against going during unblocked dates? Is that AP schedule posted somewhere?
Yes, the schedule links are in this post:So, how does someone protect themselves against going during unblocked dates? Is that AP schedule posted somewhere?

Hoping that the parks aren't too bad in early august. All the info out there seems to look like it will be ok.
I was there on August 28, 2008, which was mid-week. I was shocked at how empty it was. Honestly! It was my first visit since before the summer blockout dates, and I really expected it to be very crowded, but I wanted to bring my mother for her birthday and first visit.
Even one of the CMs said that they were expecting low crowds that day. We waited no more than 3 minutes to see Mickey in his house, mid-day - that's how empty it was.
I'm sure it will be different this August because of WOC, but just thought my experience might be helpful.
Also, here is a link to the SoCal Select blockout dates calendar: http://disneyland.disney.go.com/dis...nualPassholderSoCalSelectBlockoutCalendarPage
