a start date for them personally? Because the open date is confirmed correct?

Confirmed open date is correct. Haven’t heard if they’ll be working that day or not.

way longer of a day than I expected them to have, at least initially.
It's too bad they can't designate a parking garage just for people with dining reservations some how. so that people shopping dont take over all the spots and cause issues for people coming from farther away for dinner.

And I just read that basically everything opens at 11, sho thats weird

Does it really matter when they open or close really? The more they are open, the more money the shops make. The better chance they will survive and not be a youtubers "abandoned Disney" video

Maybe their thinking is the longer their open, the more spread out the crowds will be

Based on when malls reopened up here, there were lines before opening time. Maybe the early "open" time allows for people to get there and file in for their temperature checks before a lunch reservation. (And our malls only had a handful of stores open, most locations are still closed due to corporate policies)

If they want to spread out the crowds, they need to open all four parks when WDW reopens. Some time ago on these boards, there was talk of opening just MK, and definitely keeping Epcot closed. That wouldn't help social distancing at all, would it?

I guess they didn't allow anyone but the bigger news outlets to record today, all the videos I've seen have been B-Roll
All of it very similar to what we saw from Citywalk. I think the big 3 are all trying to use the same guidelines and procedures, which makes sense

Seems safer that way from a PR perspective - they can just point to their neighbor and toss out the ol' 'everyone is doing it'.

It also makes sense since since people visit 2 or 3 of the major parks during a vacation, so they know the procedures from one to the other

that's a good question, and I don't know.
I know you don't have to "friend" me to watch but I think you still need to have an account, I think
