Which theatre-attraction would you not want Disney to close?

Finding Nemo gets my vote. We were in awe the first time we sat through it and remain so at every repeat performance we've seen. I enjoy many of the others listed but its about the performers and how the show is carried out. FotLK comes in as a close second.

Well lets look at the reality of the what social distancing would entail. You have a sticker on the ground and then 6 feet to the north 6 feet to the south, 6 to the east and 6 to the west... in essence you are standing all alone in the center of a 12 foot by 12 foot box... People would normally be standing in a way that took up 2 to 3 cubic feet per person... So generally that 12 by 12 box your person is standing in would have had at least 48 people in it all elbow to elbow just as they would be if they decided to jump on an elevator.

The area you have at the TTC is about 78,000 square feet and that include the space used for flowers, ticketing booths an everything else, but we'll just assume you could still use that space... 78,000 sounds like a lot until you divide by the 144 square feet each person now needs. That 78000 area is only big enough for 542 people if they all stand in their little social distance areas and that's if all the security has been moved around so that that is your new check point. If you use the normal area at the MK then you have a lot less space to deal with as that area is only about 4800 square feet until you are on the sidewalk area leading from the monorail stations and other loading/unloading areas... so there you would have enough space for a little over 30 people. Starting to see the problem yet?

But let's say Disney decides to expand the TTC area and use half the parking lots too... well now your problem will be the ferries. Remember you can't have people crammed on those the way they normally are you need 144 square feet boxes of safety for every guest. well a ferry's useable floor space is 4800 square feet so you can safely transport 33 people on each boat from one side to the other... normally it takes 600 per trip so you've now cut the capacity by over 95%. One trip would have taken 10 minutes to drop off 600 people now it will require 19 rides and since it takes that empty ferry 10 minutes to return to pick up the next load the full cost in time is 20 minutes... so your 600th passenger is no longer there 10 minutes after they arrive at the ferry dock, now they have to take 6 hours until they finally get to the entrance of MK.

The reality is social distancing cannot be used at Disney if you want Disney to have any guests. It is just never going to work.

They can always just make a walking path/a drive path and have trams go from the parking lot to the entrance, and open up busses. Lots of options my dude.

Those trams have a current occupancy of 210 people per tram... of course that's standard seating if you implement social distancing that capacity would drop to about 40 per tram. They have a max speed of 14mph, when you factor in the distance from the TCC to the MK gate you would at best get 160 people to the gate per hour per tram. Now if you assumed they used half their parking lot trams for the new service you would get 2240 people per hour. The previous method of ferries assuming 2 running with 600 people per run would have gotten 2400 people to the gate in 40 minutes. So you still haven't even managed to achieve the same capacity using half your fleet of trams that you had with the ferries... that doesn't even start to factor in the loss of capacity you suffer from having to run the monorails with a much lighter load because again you can't have people elbow to elbow with standing anymore before that's way too close using those new social distancing rules. In the end you simply cannot run an amusement park if you follow those social distancing rules. It isn't possible. When Disney opens it will be as it always was and social distancing will not be included because it simply can't be done. Sure you could spread out people in a few areas, but if you don't spread them out all the time in all areas then why bother at all... besides everyone that flew down to Orlando to begin with has already been exposed on the plane and at the airport.

I bet you didn't even consider that we could just use teleportation machines to get everyone to the front entrance.

Use your imagination bro. Didn't Figment teach you anything? o-o
