17. I can't even imagine how Disney can function under social distancing rules

Not at anything like their previous capacity.

Looking back at their entry procedures it was a germ spreading disaster. Every person entering had to put their fingers down on fingerprint readers. A single infection could expose thousands of people behind them. They could conceivably fix that with a different kind of ID tech I suppose.

But they just put too many people into their parks to keep them apart. The way they do waiting lines also is a germ spreading disaster. Thousands of people in a cramped space winding back and forth all touching the same handrails. There has been some talk of using electronic ticketing to schedule times for people to show up. But they already do that to set appointments to wait in line. The last time I was there, the appointments were already full for some attractions before the place even opened. Even then, you have to wait in a crowded line.

In order to make it work with social distancing, I am guessing you might be able to accommodate 1/3 of the people. Maybe half with a lot of changes but no where near the crowds they used to do. Even then, it will be a crap shoot.
