I saw this posted on FB today. Obviously take it with a grain of salt since it’s not coming from Disney directly

A few issues I see with all of this are-
1. Everyone keeps referring to a vaccine but you cannot force anyone to get vaccinated. How many millions of people skip a flu vaccine? How many people refuse to get their kids vaccinated?
2. Social distancing cannot be done at DL. There is not enough room period. Think of the bag check lines, the esplanade in the morning, the tight queue lines. There is not enough space for that amount of people to stay 6 ft apart even at half capacity. That being said I 100% think parades and nighttime entertainment will be cancelled as that is one thing that can be controlled.
3. How profitable would the parks be running at half capacity? Lower ticket sales, lower food sales, lower souvenir sales with about the same overhead costs as a normal day....
4. If they did open at half capacity how do they figure out who gets in and who doesn’t? A lottery? I can’t see people spending hundreds or thousands with no guarantee of getting in. Based on how terrible the shopDisney.com site is I doubt they could do an online reservation system, it would be WAY to overloaded.
I agree with the PP that mask etc are just for show. Additional sanitation of attractions, queues, and public areas should be top priority as should the availability of hand washing and/or hand sanitizer stations throughout. I’m not a germaphobe but am more conscientious about using sanitizer when leave a store and washing my hands right when I get home. This would carry over to my behavior once things start reopening.
Also I saw a comment and federal regulations about social distancing etc. I’m pretty these are not federal mandates but done at the state level otherwise each state would be following the same rules. So WDW May open sooner since FL seems to be more relaxed on their rules than CA is.
