I wish I could explain this one but "Go Left". Maybe it's just how the brain works but I've used this practice for years and it's amazing how many times I will wlak up to Hollywood studios and see 10 families already lined up at the Mickey Readers, but go all the way to the left and be one of the first 3 or 4.

The first example you will find is right at the turnstiles at park opening time. The lines on the left-hand side are almost always half as long as those found on the right. After entering the Magic Kingdom, you will see that a huge majority of the guests head to the right after hitting the hub. Granted, many of them are going to the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train or to meet Anna and Elsa, but this concept has held true many years before those attractions opened. Unless you specifically need to get to Fantasyland or Tomorrowland at that time, I highly suggest making the left turn toward Adventureland.

Not surprising. North Americans are conditioned to defer towards the right. It's how we drive in cars and how we walk when we congregate in large groups (airports, sporting events, concerts, etc.). I'm sure the folks at Disney were aware of this trait since the 1950s.

I hear the recommendations all of the time to "go left" once in side the parks....honestly, we've never gone to the right to start the day. We've ALWAYS gone to Adventureland first.

I think the explanation of the people going to the right is probably more than likely a mad rush to get to Space Mountain so they have minimal wait moreso than it is an ingrained habit to go to the right.
