Recently back from a 5-night trip. Writing my experiences since reading these helped me. We're an adult couple with no kids. We don't like lines or crowds and were masters of the FastPass and travel in the off-season in the before times.
Friday (Oct 2) - Disney Springs - Got into our room at Pop! around 7pm. Had received the text with the room number around 3pm and it was easy to just park and go. The guard at the gate also confirmed our room, so if we had missed the text no biggie. Quick bus to Disney Springs, which wasn't as crowded as feared. Reservation at City Works. Good service. Good food. Lots of windows open to keep the airflow up. Felt pretty safe, but that 10pm close time is a killer for night owls like us. On a normal Friday night we would have closed down Raglan Road or Edison. Instead, we went back to the resort and opened a bottle of wine in our room.
Saturday (Oct 3) - Animal Kingdom - We're not rope drop people, so we got there around 11am. Walked on the Safari. Saw the wait times for the other rides and decided to just enjoy the animals. There was an hour wait at Nomad's, but worth it. Bar seating is again available. Reservation for lunch at Yak & Yeti went well, though I felt the food wasn't as good as usual. This would be a theme for the week. Mask and safety wise it was a good day. Most people following the rules and other than Pandora there was plenty of space to spread out. Dinner at Disney Springs was disappointing. We had reservations at Enzo's Hideaway - a favorite - and our server was quite unhappy. She was clear that she didn't usually serve there and that she knew nothing about the menu, which was itself quite limited, with many of the usual drinks gone. When we asked if a favorite drink was available, she wouldn't even ask the bartender and snapped at us "it's not on the menu because we probably don't have the ingredients". Not a vacation killer, but still not the usual pixie dust. We didn't linger and finished the night at Wine Bar George where service was exceptional as always.
Sunday - Tuesday (Oct 4-6) - Epcot - Food and Wine is our reason for a yearly fall stay for the past many, many years. It's definitely not the same this year, but we knew that going in. The first day we made the mistake of trying to catch the Skyliner to Epcot early (for us) and were stuck in a nearly hour-long line at CBR. Most of the people seemed to be headed to HS, so this was a complete waste of time. Crowds weren't bad early (for Sunday), but by 3pm or so it was crowded enough to feel a bit unsafe and we headed out. Day 2 we took an Uber to the park after seeing how long the line already was at Pop! Day 3 we just waited until noon or so and the line wasn't awful.
I was happy to enjoy Tutto Gusto and very pleased it (and Weinkeller) were open. You have to enter Tutto Gusto from Tutto Italia and I don't think a lot of people knew it was even open. From a safety point, I felt the weekdays at F&W were fine with minimal nose peekers or chin-on-mask folks. Even on the weekend, the usual rowdy crowds weren't that prevalent. CMs were roaming with reminders to socially distance and wear your mask. The park has plenty of space to spread out and honestly the smaller amount of booths made it pretty easy to hit all the kiosks we wanted in only partial days. Had dinner the last night at Rose & Crown and got to enjoy the park to ourselves on the way out. The Skyliner at night was cool.
Wednesday (Oct 7) - Magic Kingdom - The worst. The absolute worst park experience we had all week. As usual we arrived well after opening, around 10am. It was a zoo, even on a Wednesday, with so many people not wearing their masks properly or at all. The reduced number of places to eat meant lines and crowds for the places open and those lines, and the long lines for rides, meant crowding in the paths. It was extremely hard to socially distance and many folks weren't even trying. We waited 45 minutes for Haunted Mansion wedged between a family that had their masks off eating and drinking the whole time and a family that constantly edged up just behind us, ignoring all distance markings. Lots of CMs, but they didn't seem to be enforcing the rules much that we saw. Not a criticism, but an observation that made us feel far less safe. Ended up back at the resort ordering Uber Eats after only a few hours.
TL;DR - I wouldn't do this trip again. Food and Wine was our main driver and it's understandably quite different with no demonstrations or tastings, and maybe half the usual booths. The lack of FastPass and limited offerings didn't make this trip a good value and at points we didn't feel safe. Thus we spent a lot more time in our room and at the resort than we usually would have. We'll return when it's safe to do so and more things are open.
