Based on my own very subjective experiences with visiting multiple times during the pandemic, I think the current "problem" is that WDW is back to normal enough that we expect to experience normal... but it's actually still abnormal enough that it doesn't meet expectations. Masks and physical distancing are basically gone and capacity is up, but attractions/restaurants/resorts/etc. are still closed and staffing continues to be an issue. To me, the earlier visits when nothing was remotely normal were actually easier because I had NO expectations of normal. But last week, I felt frustration build as the overall congestion made it feel like pre-pandemic times, even though things really aren't back to normal. Does that make sense?
The positives to me were still there: I really, truly did not wait more than 25 minutes for any attraction (which isn't to say all wait times were 25 mins or less all day, every day - I just didn't ride anything when it had a long wait time; I opted to ride at lower wait times), and many were walk-on, which was really nice. Evenings were still relatively quiet compared to previous years, which at a peak-crowd time of year was also really nice. Plenty of space at the uncrowded pools, easy Mobile Ordering with no lines, tables available at every QS, the return of fireworks... there was a lot to enjoy, IMO.
