There are some situations where keeping 6' apart is just not possible. Jake, you ID'd a couple - getting a mobility device strapped down on a bus when the guest is not able to transfer [as
@gap2368 noted, if you CAN get the device into place yourself and transfer to the designated bus seats that helps tremendously, though there are some tight quarters on the bus and there may be points one still comes within 6 ft], and the same when loading an accessible ride vehicle. There are other situations where the issue will arise. Table service - the server is going to come within 6 feet to serve you [unless they get into using robots like I've seensome news reports of some places experimenting with overseas but I don't see that happening here anytime soon]. Some of the attractions at the water parks. I'm sure there are others.
So for those higher risk situations this is where Disney will look to understanding what is known about the virus [there are factors that contribute to the risk, such as duration of possible exposure, what protective measures are in place, etc] and what measures can be put in place to protect their employees and their guests.
I would imagine that there will be some activities that they will decide, at least at first, are too much of a risk, so they won't be available at all. Others they will modify how they are done to make them less of a risk. Others they will modify the clothing/equipment their employees wear [we already see this in requiring masks, there are also probably roles where they are requiring gloves that they did not before, and there are probably other things that are not as obvious, whether a requirement or strongly encouraged]. Or a mix of various things all at once.
Unfortunately, until people start reporting back on their experiences we won't get a good idea what things are actually going to be like. So for the OP's original questions those won't be known until the parks start to open.
One thing I am interested in is what they do with the buses in a more general sense. Here in my city the city buses are still running, though on a modified schedule because ridership is down something like 90%. Some things they have done with the buses:
- All buses have gone to rear door loading only unless you require the front door due to mobility reasons
- (this has the side effect that people who pay cash get to ride for free since the cash fare boxes are at the front, though fare cards can still be tapped at the back doors; this has also cut fare revenue even more)
- the front seats upto past the disability seating are blocked off with tape crossed across the aisle so you can't walk forward; this gives the driver quite a few feet of buffer from any passengers and is intended to protect the driver; those with disabilities who load through the front can sit in the front area
- passengers are encouraged to physically distance on the bus; this is possible on most runs as there are not a lot of riders and sometimes it is you and the driver and that is it; when volume allows passengers seem to be good about distancing
- the city is looking into longer term solutions than taping the aisle, such as plexiglass barriers for the drivers, etc. still TBD.
