I spend half my money on WDW, and waste the rest.

I visited in May and December 2021 and did not find the crowds to be any larger than past visits.
Nevertheless, many have said things are more crowded in the last couple of months (March & April.) Meanwhile Disney is also restricting access with Park Pass showing no availability for literally weeks during spring break period.
So, do believe it's true that:
1) the parks are more crowded than before the pandemic, AND
2) even more guests are still being turned away
Is there THAT much demand for the WDW product, in spite of inflation, Genie+, Chapek, politics, high crowds, etc.?
Hard to say. Many have suggested expiring points, cancelled vacations finally happening etc.
I sometimes wonder on restaurants being open, but a lot of empty areas/tables. Some people eater attractions not open yet, parades/Fantasmic grabbed a lot of people.
What about parks hours? Even AK was getting to be a 11PM park, but I haven't looked into it overall.
Wonder if the fly overs have noticed how full parking lots are. That seems like a way to judge capacity to some degree anyway. I don't feel like DHS or EPCOT or MK lots have been nearly as full as the old days when we have parked-but small sample.
