CROWDS - Moderate; everyone was well behaved too.
RESORTS & RESTAURANTS - I like to try places I've not tried before. I spent a night at Port Orleans Riverside in a royal room, and the decorations made me feel like a princess! I ate at their food court and had the meatloaf. I've rarely met a meatloaf I didn't like, and it was great, at fast-food prices. At the MK I stopped at the Jungle Navigation Restaurant. I know the wait staff isn't always "on stage," but I didn't see or hear anything amusing while I was there, and the food was just meh. I tried the highly recommended cobb salad at the Brown Derby, and it was slimy and way too wet, and cost $30!
RIDES - I rode Tron for the first time. It went too fast to see anything, but the walk in and out of there makes it worthwhile. I had a LL for Guardians, but cancelled it, because I was afraid it would make me sick. Now of course I wish I had ridden it. I was disappointed in Soarin'. I forgot how short it was, and the one at the Mall of America is WAY better (without the long wait.) I was also disappointed in the new Country Bears routine with the generic Disney tunes you can hear anywhere. I miss the bears singing about their heartbreak from love gone wrong.
MAGIC BANDS - I took 10 old magic bands with me, and they all still worked!
FLAVORED POPCORN - I was hoping they had re-opened some of the places that used to sell caramel or cheese popcorn, but still not a thing. I did get my maple popcorn at Canada. It's $7.00 now.
TRANSPORTATION - Pretty regular and usually not crowded. A few times I was the only one on the bus.
FACE ON THE PHONE TIME - I didn't need much, as I was there several days and by myself. I placed 2 mobile orders. Did you know Pizzafari has a side salad for under $5? The other was at Woody's Lunch Box, and the guests ordering in person got their food before I did...
CAST MEMBERS - Everyone I asked assured me that working there was still magical. They chatted with me a lot, since I was alone, and rewarded me with treats. I was able to ride Toy Story Mania several extra times without going back in line, for asking CMs about their own high score.
BOUNCE BACK WDW ROOMS - There is limited inventory for this, and nothing that worked for me. Don't count on it working for you.
