I'm a local AP - pre Covid we might not even plan a park day until I would pull at FP for Slinky or FOP at the drop times, then we would head over. I knew how to play the game and we always road TIer 1 rides multiple times per day on FP. During the no FP time, we have been dozens of times, and found that despite reports and the cries from posters about how bad it is, that wait times are very reasonable. We went to DHS a couple of Sunday's ago and the crowd that day was smaller to us than at any other time during the entire pandemic. Rope drop wait at MMRR was walk on, RnRC next was less than 10 minutes. MFSR was 31 minutes. Star Tours was 18 minutes, our boarding group for RotR was called at 1:00. We left right after. With no FP, the lines actually move. I have no problem with bringing FP back, but I think the pictures and reports represent a significant minority. If you haven't been to the parks during this time, stating what is working and not may be misleading.
