Yep. It'll seem pretty much like any other CRS launch to the ISS except the capsule is different and has a dummy inside. When it actually gets to ISS, it will DOCK on its own rather than BERTH like Dragon 1 does (where the Canadarm grabs it and guides it into the port).
For what it's worth, the dummy's name is a "Stargal" and is named...
Also, LC-39a is looking damn sexy with its new cladding and crew access arm.

I really can't get over how much cooler the pad looks. I know that shit doesn't matter, but I can't deny that SpaceX's preference for making shit look neat is a nice bonus. Compare the before:
