There was a larger choice when it came to food options that last year. And 95% of the Cast Members were what you expected from Disney people.
They did a much better job getting people into the park quickly...no long lines checking every bag.
What was poor? The selection of merchandise and the prices for what merchandise was there. Quality of the merchandise was not there IMO
Anyone else been lately?

I was there the same time as you (I went down on the 4th, came back on the 12th). It was pretty damn busy but unless you were lining up for the E-ticket rides it wasn't bad. (Things like Mine Train, Frozen, Flight of Passage, Rise of the Resistance, Runaway Railway, and Slinky Dog usually had 60+ minute lines.) The trick to this new FastPass-free era is to treat Disney like it used to be in the summer: go in at rope drop, ride a few things until around 11am, then leave the park until early evening. (We didn't buy that stupid-ass Genie crap.) Every day we'd go off-property for lunch, or we'd do an escape room (we did four over the course of the week), and one day we trekked out to a big cat sanctuary. We never did get on Mine Train or Frozen, but we did Flight of Passage twice. We also did Soarin' three times, Toy Story four times, Haunted Mansion twice, and almost everything else once (Rise, Railway, Slinky, Peter Pan, Splash, Big Thunder, Test Track).
