How are they going to manage visitor numbers?

Yes their system is a bit confusing, Federal-State-County, all having a say and influence.

The State guidelines are probably the most relevant, and reads to me like we get a relatively normal Theme Park experience by the time we are allowed back.

Social distancing and sanitary protocols being followed in a theme park, even at reduced capacity. I'm trying to understand how this could possibly work.
How would food service work? Restrooms? Handrails? Lines for rides?
Without fairly strict protocols, how does Disney mitigate the possibility of becoming a teeming petrie dish?
I want them to succeed in this, but it boggles the mind a bit.

They will do what they do now to limit entry to the parks. When they have decided that the number of visitors has reached capacity for safety purposes in any park they will stop anybody else entering which is what they do at Christmas. It won't matter if you are on site, a Florida resident or have any other kind of pass, when its full its full.

Before Covid-19 closure they had a phased capacity system in place for busy periods beginning with first refusing entry to one day ticket holders, as detailed here 😊:

At Shanghai you need to apply the day before for a barcode. Irrelevant of what pass you have. You need this before park entry. A little like a lottery. But it seems to be working.

This seems like a good plan but I would be annoyed not to get in after I have paid for 2 rooms at PBH. Might be worth looking at cancelling that night?

Onsite visitors only I reckon with then pre booked visitors off site after.

If people can go and capacity is limited long term, could make a DVC contract more valuable OP. Rental rates could rise also for DVC bookings.

What do you think they will do with transportation to the parks?
Will they lift the parking fees to encourage people to use there own cars ?
