Disneyland will increase attendance, drop mask requirements for vaccinated visitors, discontinue physical distancing and continue advance reservations as the state ends most COVID-19 health and safety measures.

Disney Parks Chief Medical Officer Pamela Hymel outlined the changes coming to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure once pandemic restrictions end in a letter issued to employees on Monday, June 14

The full reopening of the California economy on Tuesday, June 15 after a 15-month pandemic hibernation will allow theme parks in the state to return to full capacity and end most COVID-19 health and safety measures.

Disneyland will no longer require masks for fully vaccinated visitors starting on Tuesday. Unvaccinated Disneyland visitors are expected to continue to wear a mask — except while dining.

1. Just in time for the Delta mutation that seems to be

killing vaccinated people with comorbidities.

Great.

We'll be back where we started in no time, only this time fewer will comply.

9. And it's a Hotspot for kids who aren't vaccinated

13. To be fair....

Disney World in Florida has been operating without all the restrictions for a bit, though they require masks etc. And they've not been a hotbed of contagion. I think that the business is doing everything right in order to maintain safety for the public and the employees. Lots is outdoors. The lines have been social distanced, but levels of the virus in Claifornia are low enough to take those restrictions away.

This is a positive thing.

Disneyland has had WAY more restrictions than Disney World. THey're in a good place now. Let them ease up.

2. lets go eat with the unvaccinated - sounds fun!

[Beaverhausen]

3. Dang- we are going next week

We thought it would still be limited capacity. Oh well...at least we are all vaccinated.

4. What could go wrong with that? Let us count the many ways...

5. Catnip for resident doomers and those with virus induced Stockholm syndrome.

7. I think Bill Maher said it best

Some don't seem to want this pandemic to ever end.

[BannonsLiver]

8. I agree with Bill on that one

We have people on the forum who clearly fit that bill. You can practically feel the wishful thinking about the delta variant.

[Dorian Gray]

14. yes

[beaglelover]

17. Absolutely!! But what about the CHILDREN!!! Ugh.

[Johonny]

12. CAL OSHA being one of them

Granted until they can vaccinate younger kids it's not really certain how over it is.

15. I'm definitely not that person!

I've already been to stadiums and restaurants, and I've got several concerts already lined up. Though I do see this kind of thing here and everywhere on the internet. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Even my brother, who is an ER doctor, has said that he thinks the worst of this is behind us. So I would like to think that.

18. Got tickets to the Rams versus Tampa Bay at the new SoFi stadium in September!

Can't wait!!!

[Initech]

19. Oh man I want to see the new stadium very badly!

I was supposed to go see Motley Crue there last year but that show's getting moved back to 2022.

I might have to make an excuse and go to a Rams or Chargers game in November! I was also thinking of taking a trip to Vegas and hitting up the new Raiders stadium.

[beaglelover]

20. Me too, it's the main reason I got the tickets. Plus we're Tom Brady fans. Don't hate me.

LOL!

[Initech]

21. OK I won't!

[Scrivener7]

10. I remember when there were DUers who were calling me a ghoul and a resident doomer

when I disagreed with the conventional wisdom and said the virus would kill lots more than 60,000.

Most of us live and some of us learn.

6. I'm guessing that . . .

epidemiologists live for this sort of thing.

Outbreaks in unvaccinated states.

Outbreaks in the vicinity of theme parks, and then follow the spread when visitors head home.

Outbreaks associated with sporting events.

This ain't over, by a long shot.

[MichMan]

22. Epidemiologists are hoping more people catch diseases?

[TheBlackAdder]

11. Just in time for July 4th family super-spreaders. Hi Mom, You have a will? 'cause you now have VID.

[beaglelover]

16. This is fantastic news!!!

Freedom reigns again in the wonderful Golden state of California!

Looking forward to a cardio workout later this afternoon at the gym MASK FREE!!!!

Also hoping I'm one of the $1.5 million vaccination lottery winners!!!!

23. I sure hope the CDC is right. In one of my groups, a girl posted that her fully vaccinated parents

both tested positive and have symptomatic Covid infections. She is also fully vaccinated and lives with them. She doesn't have any symptoms herself yet. She is supposed to sing at a large indoor church event tonight. She didn't know if she should stay home in case she is positive too. I told her that the CDC guidelines say if she is fully vaccinated and exposed to people with Covid, she doesn't need to quarantine if she doesn't have any symptoms. So she is going to go to the event and hope for the best.
