Question about the resort experience, especially heading into the summer months... Are the pools open? Socially distanced lap swimming only?
Because hanging at the pool is pretty much the whole point of a resort hotel in Florida in July.

People will not be allowed to congregate like that.
What other options are there when there are thousands of guests in the park? That's not realistic.

If the water parks would be closed, I can't imagine the pools would be open either.

Can you even operate an omnimover under those circumstances?

I’m unaware of any suggestion that it spreads in water. Socially-distant swimming could work. Thank goodness they already have gates to regulate capacity.

I'm imagining a car wash style apparatus that just sprays the Doombuggies as they glide through, coming out soaking wet on the other side.
Been to the parks many times during the rainy / lighting summer season. Ponchos or not herd of guests will crowd into above areas mentioned. That is a fact. A cast member will not be able to control that. Wearing a poncho or not in the open area during frequent lighting strikes? That's an accident or death waiting to happen.
Great question, but I don't have info on that or Shades of Green.
The are tons of people who view Disney World as their paradise. The pricing is what I'm interested to see how they handle. I've got no info there.
I'll let you know if I find out.

No monorails?
Sounds like a good time to finish that walkway to MK from Grand Floridian.

I think there is going to be a rather steep learning curve as society adapts to the new normal. People will get used to not congregating ANYWHERE. Those who would rather avoid that should delay to next summer.
No plans for that on rides, but I do know they've been trying to figure out the logistics of "fogging" trams.
If you have any pointers to share if herds of guests are going to crowd into the bathrooms, dining areas, gifts shops, attractions during the frequent lighting / rains during the summer, please share your tips where to seek safe shelter if it was you and your family since you advised people can't congregate ANYWHERE.

Same things they’ll do during a pop-up thunderstorm when waiting to enter a capacity-controlled Wal-Mart or Publix.
Still doesn't answer the question but we will be seeking shelter when lighting strikes. Safety first!

You think they’ll let people into Publix?
You’ll need to find a covered place where you aren’t up someone’s butt. That’s why MK won’t have 50,000 people.
I don’t doubt they are kicking this plan around, it seems like it was dreamed up by a bunch of managers and lawyers.
I just don’t see how they find the sweet spot that people are going to assume the risk, accept the severe lack of features, and pay enough that Disney can make a profit, I just don’t.

Easier said than done.
