I didn't think that their capacity was this high but I read an article stating MK average daily visit is 60k, I always thought that it's capacity was 25k, but to use that higher number makes that 30k & 45k- that's still a lot of people! & whilst they continually discuss queues, they don't really discuss where every one is when they are not queuing, if you think about the retail outlets- they're not really designed for social distancing.

Based on the yearly attendance to MK from the TEA report, MK's average daily attendance is around 55k. Therefore, I'd assume normal attendance varies from around 40k to 70k.
I thought that the absolute maximum capacity at MK was 100k? That's also what Google seems to say (but opinion varies). I thought they usually started restricting numbers from about 75k (again, a bit of a guess). If it was based on the absolute maximum then 50% of this would be 50k - this is only slightly less than the average. If it was based on the 'normal' 55k, then 50% of this is around 27k - which is a quiet day at MK. As you say, whichever number you use it's still a lot of people. It will be difficult to spatially distance* guests. (* I prefer the phrase "spatial distance" to "social distance")

You are completely correct and I pointed this out last week. The 50% of capacity concept is good PR as it will fool some people. However if it’s 50% of a number that is reached only a handful of times over the year and normal is about 60%-70% capacity it’s really not that much of a reduction.

Capacity includes cast members, so it wouldn't not apply to just guests, but to anyone in the park.

Yes, there’s clearly quite a large range between average and maximum attendance. But Disney know what’s at stake and I’m sure they wouldn’t want to end up with the safety and PR nightmare of not being able to deliver on the social distancing and safety precautions they will put in place for opening.
I would expect capacity to be at the lower end to start so they would for example do 50% of average attendance rather than maximum. As much as having less people in the park lowers their profit, I’d expect they’d rather be precautionary to start with and gradually increase when they know they can keep everyone safe. I’m sure they’d rather that than have a PR disaster which would hurt their business for even longer.

As international visitors most likely won't be encouraged/allowed(?) back until Reopen Florida Phase 3, I don't expect capacity concerns to be an issue.

We will have to wait and see what the Governor of Florida says, at the moment it's looking likely the parks will not open until phase 3 at the earliest with a 25% capacity and if they are put into phase 4 it could possibly be months before they re open. Not what the parks wanted to hear i'm sure.

Which plan are you referencing?
The reopen Florida guidelines that the gov announced only has 3 phases, and phase 3 allows the parks to reopen as normal with limited social distance measures. Obviously the parks can implement anything they like within the guidelines: flgov/wp-content/upl...e%20Report.pdf |

Yes and I read in another thread on here that Orange County are letting Disney and Universal basically manage this themselves within these guidelines, stating that they know their businesses.
