If you're talking about Free dining, you are 100% spot on.
Is free dining on now? Yikes! Is it on all summer?

Fast passes in the morning are for return times in evening! I will never do summer ever again, did I say that already??!

South American Tour Groups In July each year, large groups of teenagers from Brazil and Argentina descend on Walt Disney World for their winter break. Some of the groups do a lot of chanting, singing, clapping and shouting. The sheer size of the groups (up to 100 kids in a single group) can make navigating around them difficult. There have been complaints of tour group leaders taking over the FASTPASS machines first thing in the morning with dozens of tickets in hand, and thus grabbing all of the early return times. The South American tour groups also visit Disney World in January, which is summer vacation in Brazil, but those tend to include more family-oriented groups that do not cause as many issues.

Maybe they are coming early could be the issue with the fasspasses for you .

I think people don't realize that compared to the last 3 years, the economy has rebounded for many, and those who deprived themselves of Disney vacations to make ends meet are now back with a vengeance!

Here now. It's our last day actually. We arrived on June 3rd and crowds didn't really get bad until the 10th but it was still manageable. We used TP and we were able to do everything we wanted multiple times. We met about 50 characters during our 12 day stay and never waited more than 30 minutes for one. As for the rain and heat both were expected. We made RD and used early EMH. We were back to the resort after lunch for resting and swimming.
This is interesting to read. We went for a few days in June about 9 years ago. There were crowds, as I recall, but it didn't seem outrageous. We had only a toddler at that point, so we were thrilled with the "arrive early, leave mid-day for nap/pool/lunch, and return for evening." It couldn't have gone better. We missed the hottest part of the day, the busiest part of the day, and didn't waste time waiting in line for and eating food. And it kept the kids (and parents) from getting cranky.
But I'm surprised to hear that it is so crowded today even at rope drop. I don't think we were there quite that early, but very soon after opening, and it seemed like we had the park to ourselves. I have pictures of us on Main Street and in front of the castle with nobody else in the photo. So I know it started to get crowded later, but we were able to skip that. But it sounds like today even at the open it is bad.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the new fastpass system. I don't know much about it to know if there is any reason it would, I'm just trying to figure out why it would be so crazy that you can't even get fast passes at rope drop.
We'll stick to mid-September trips...
