We were there in July, and again in November, and we absolutely noticed an increase in the amount of Spanish we heard spoken around us when we were there last month. Enough so that we commented to each other that there must be a lot more travelers coming from central and south America now.
We were surprised too last weekend at the amount. We also noticed outgoing flights to Puerto Rico when we were at MCO flying Spirit.
As for the parks hitting capacity, I believe some did Thanksgiving week too. While it was crowded, I have seen it worse during normal times but my DH did comment that he felt there was no way it was capped at 35%, until we got to talking how there are no shows, character meets, etc. to eat people up out of the walkways. We missed some of the shows, especially Monsters in MK.
I thought our trip went good and we had a nice time (except the concerns of some eating in line I posted about earlier) but I recently found out my DS was talking with my Mom telling her about the trip, and he told her he was having fun but it wasn't the same and he really missed the character meets and wished things were back to normal, that it was just too different. That really surprised me to hear he felt that way.
