Policies and procedures usually get improved after a major incident.
Each store would need to have a policy, but the district as a whole would need some way to mitigate the crowds lining up to get into said stores/ 1/4th capacity restaurants.
The Johns Hopkins website is a bit behind...there are approximately 1400 more confirmed cases and nearly 100 more deaths in MA as of today.
Can Disney even make the restaurants reduce their capacity? If they are owned by an outside vendor I’m not sure they can. There’s capacity limits for fire codes but this would be different, or at least I think it would. Whole new ballgame with this situation.
I think each vendor signs a contract adhering to Disney standards. Wording can be added for vendors to re-sign.
Reduced capacity may put them out of business when all is said and done if they can't make their numbers. And food pick-up only will have the same problems as in a theme park - crowds still need to go somewhere to eat their food and there's only so much space. Every time I've enjoyed the "poutine" (I've tried, i've really tried), I end up having to eat against a wall because every other table and low wall space is taken - just like most food I eat at Epcot's festivals is enjoyed on top of a festive trashcan (but that's another post).
It would be a nice way to do it if it were possible, but it isn't. Remember the tests aren't 100% accurate. Just imagine the lawsuits if it turns out some guests weren't detected because the test was a false negative and then you get a spike of guests getting sick, even if the mortality rate turns out to be .5% you would most likely get some deaths every year from people that got exposed by a false negative, that would be very expensive to cover. Most likely the lawyers would never allow Disney to do what you are suggesting because of the litigation they would be exposed to since the test would give people an expectation of a virus free park.
As someone that's had the nasty nose swab, I can attest that they hurt like h**l. It brought a tear to my eye and I can only imagine that every kid under 10 would be crying like they had just been given a shot at a doctor's office.... Not a great way to start a magical vacation.
Standards are one thing but I don’t know if they have the legal authority to limit capacity or dictate table configuration.
That’s a possibility. If RCID as a government entity mandates it that may be the way around it legally.

Amazing with all your concerns you still CHOOSE to go. Enjoy your next visit, we know we will!

Imagine the wait for the Millennium Falcon with flight crews of one!
Sadly it'll keep rising for a good couple of weeks in the US.Yeah. Deaths across the US today are by far the highest they've ever been. New cases are down from yesterday and the peak on Saturday, though the day isn't over yet.
