DHS's problem is the boarding groups create a rush for everyone to be there at the same time in the morning.

They'd be better off running the BG lottery with everyone who has a reservation the night before and then those with later groups won't rush rope drop. Or... use FP+ for it (and no standby).

The good thing they are doing is letting people into the park early, and letting rides early. I showed up at 9:30 and never felt like I was in a crowded spot, except maybe mickey and Minnie entrance area. We went straight to tower of terror and rode that, and then were able to very luckily get the first boarding group at 10.

Also there are 3 times for boarding groups. 10am, 1pm, and 4pm.

No Rhyme nor reason to barrier walls at Hollywood studios I think they might have had the maintenance students decide where to put them

There actually is a “rhyme and reason.” The barriers are installed where guests would be potentially stopped too close to one another, not just walking by each other. Notice there are no please stand here markers on the right side of your bottom pictures. The intent is that you would keep moving through this space and not be stopped next to anyone.

Makes more sense now, thanks.

I’m still surprised about the RnRC queue though. The photos from earlier definitely show people stopped far too close to each other in that switchback.

of course, always on. Except in our hotel room, in our car, or sitting down to eat or drink.
We made it through the queue for RoR in about 7 minutes. Was moving really fast and then it seemed to break down inside for a while as there were maintenance CMs in there

Sure, there's room. But what about the festival booths?
They were actively managing distancing at the booths today and were adapting processes throughout the day. For example, at the start of the day they were taking reciepts to see your order (one person taking reciepts then touching food). Later they started asking us to hold it up so they could see and mark.
All booths have large queues and seem ready.

A receipt that is handed to you by a cm?

So regular counter service is all mobile only but the festival booths are still requiring you to handle paper receipts?

Same as previous years. You are handed a receipt when you purchase food, then walk to the kitchen. At first, we were handing the reciepts to the cm, who then marked it and handed us the food. That seemed like a bad idea. They seem to have changed and later in the day we were asked to hold it up so they could see and mark.

Best-laid plans. Here's hoping.

If you want to ignore the double standard that is your choice. :)

I think the difference (although slim) is that the cast member handing you the receipt is not handling food. The cast member handling food does not touch your receipt and has no physical contact/exchange with the guest. When I was there they were using a tray to pass the food over to the guest with no contact.
