You can rotate the openings of the parks for WDW. Two/Three Parks open a day, maybe all four on a Saturday. Definitely possible.
Parks could be open like DAK did for many years. Opening and closing like banker hours , 9am-5pm.

If you’re spending a week and you want to go to DAK you go to DAK the day(s) it’s open. I hope I didn’t just hurt your mind with that crazy thought!

They better be stocking up on Ibuprofin then!
They can’t open some DVC resorts and not others for more than few days without creating major problems for themselves. I can see a scenario where the DVCs are open but there is no transportation. People have to use their own car.
Anyway, If “why is my resort not open like theirs!” were the complaint du jour, that would mean we’re a lot closer to normal than we are now.
I could see this, though I'm not sure people will want to pay full price with such limitations.

Shorter operating hours could lead to more crowding.

Not that there is ever a good time, but this is really bad timing for several projects.... mostly Epcot and Magic Kingdom. At least not too much is torn up at MK.
I’m just gonna take a wild guess that even Tron is iffy right now....

I don't know if limitations are being applied. If you can only do one park a day, then that doesn't apply. Even a park hopper, you can go to the other two parks that are open that day. I don't see that being a big hurdle personally.
If you mean full price with limited experiences in the parks, then yeah, I could see them scaling back the prices with discounts.

That would lead to overcrowding, though.

Well that’s why operations would adjust schedules according to demand...
So you mean open with no social distancing rules, but still only certain parks on certain days?

It wouldn’t be permanent. Just part of the initial ramp up. Potentially a few weeks/months

I don't know how the parks open with social distancing in place. Eventually, we have to get to a point where people have to act with their own brains instead of being told exactly what to do. My idea would be certain parks on certain days only.
I agree, and that's where the problem lies.
20K guests between all the parks doesn't justify the operation. Just doesn't.

Long term, no. But as a way to restart operations, absolutely. They can’t just go from everything closed to everything opened. There will need to be a methodical ramp up process.
There's an interesting discussion about this subject going on here:
Opening WDW with Social Distancing
This thread created for the narrow topic of discussing opening WDW with social distancing still in force since it keeps coming up in the Big Thread… WDW and Social Distancing People have been arguing whether it is possible that WDW can open and still maintain social distancing. Of course WDW...
Posting it before @MisterPenguin comes waving his flipper.
that’s my guess as well. Assuming this really is the plan, I expect a quick ramp-up of other resort areas.
something like:
Day 1: MK resorts and MK only.
Day 7: additional resorts and DHS and AK
Day 14: all resorts open
Day 28: Epcot open.
point being you can’t get every resort and restaurant fully staffed, supplied and ready to go, on day 1.
