Someone I know is it Disney right now and didn't book any FPs. They've been twice in the last few years but for some reason decided that they just didn't feel like dealing with that this time around. I don't understand... even if you don't end up using all of them or don't want to book all three a day in advance, why would you not book ANY?!
It imagine can be really fun to go and not have ANYTHING scheduled at all. Just do whatever you feel like in that moment.
I book our 3 in advance and we switch them often and sometimes just miss them because we don't like to have a lot on our schedule and we have little ones. DH and I have chosen to skip wasting time on thrill rides while our kids are little, so our trips in the near future will be very focused on them (currently 2.5 and 1yo). If you remove anything with a height restriction from the equation there aren't a whole lot of FP you really really NEED.
I actually find the idea of a trip with no FP really appealing - I'd take even more time to enjoy the things in the parks that we love that are not rides but sometimes get looked over (Tom Sawyer Island, Swiss Family Treehouse, Dapper Dans, railroad, etc.) A headliner-free trip actually sounds appealing to me and fun!
But ... we have been there many times and go every year or year and a half so it's not like I feel like I need to see everything every time. If it was a one and done trip or something I knew we wouldn't be doing for a while, I would not approach the parks the way I do.
