We recently returned from our trip Home and I wanted to report in case anyone had any questions. We were there from 3/6 - 3/13 and stayed at the Riviera. Overall this was our best trip yet, even with the restrictions and the limited experiences.
I wasn't sure what to expect with crowds but we were pleasantly surprised how not crowded it was. Crowds did start to pick up towards the end of the week and I saw all the parks were completely booked. Mask compliance was around 95%. We saw a few noses here and there, but CMs usually asked nicely for them to pull it up. The biggest offense were guests walking and eating/drinking. It didn't terribly bother me because we were quickly walking by them, but it was annoying since we couldn't do it and yet others were. Also, my 3 year old fell asleep in the stroller and I guess he wiggled his mask off, he was covered by the canopy but a CM bent down to get a bag and noticed his mask was off and asked that I put it back on. We also encountered some unfriendly CMs, more than normal, but we tried to give them grace, it's been a tough year for everyone.
We visited the parks in the following order Epcot (3/6), MK, HS, Epcot, DS, MK and AK. We rope dropped them every morning (arriving an hour or so before official opening). We had the most success at HS, MK and AK doing this (makes sense). We were some of the first in HS and were done with Toy Story Land before the park even officially opened. Slinky was a walk-on and by the time we were talking out the line was all the way out of Toy Story Land. AK opened later than other parks (6:30 for a 7am opening) but we rode FOP with rider swap (the other parent would do Na'vi while waiting) and then we headed to Safari and had probably our best safari yet. The animals had just been let out and were running around everywhere. Everest didn't start running until 9am for whatever reason but we headed that direction. The line was back to Nemo but took maybe 20 minutes. In MK we headed to Frontierland on our first day and Tommorowland on our second MK day. We saved Mine Train for the evenings and that seemed to work for us. Most other Fantasyland rides were 10 minutes or less (with the exception of Peter Pan, Small World and Carousel) and we rode those multiple times.
We would stay in each park for 4ish hours before returning to the resort. Crowds were be heavy and wait times soared during this time. Then we would go back 2-3 hours before park closing. We hopped in line for several rides right before closing and experienced short waits. Our longest waits were for ToT (60 minutes, but the ride went down for a short time during that), and 60 for a bus after MK one evening.
For the most part people followed the social distancing guidelines. We encountered a few families that seemed to not pay attention to the markings but thankfully we weren't around them too long. Leaving rides was the worst when it came to social distancing but you're really just around those people for 30sec to a minute max. The Mexico area in Epcot was insane and I refused to walk through there. It was just shoulder to shoulder people some times.
For the Skyliner to HS we chose to walk to CBR instead of take the Skyliner from Riviera and have to get in the back of the line. I am glad we did because the Riviera line wasn't even running yet when we got on the Skyliner at CBR to head to HS. We wouldn't have been nearly successful that morning if we were that much later. Wait times are inflated, lines look long but generally move quickly. MMRR was posted at 60 and it took us 40 and we were constantly walking.
I am sure I am missing information so if you have any questions I am happy to answer. Again we had a great trip. I definitely recommend rope dropping and returning in the evening if you want to avoid crowds and the longest waits.
