From Deadline:

“California Health and Human Services Director Dr. Mark Ghaly briefed reporters Friday on specifics of the state’s long-planned June 15 reopening.

“Capacity limitations are no longer going to be part” of the state’s plan, he said. “We will not have capacity restrictions.”

On physical distancing, Ghaly said simply, “None.”

On masking, he said, “We will follow the CDC guidance on masking.”

The HHS director then expounded. “There will be some guidance…specific to the various settings,” he said. “We know that it will be shifting over the next few months.”

...“For outdoor activities,” what Ghaly called “mega outdoor events” with attendance of more than10,000, he announced, “We are recommending that those operators have a system to verify vaccination or verify.” Operators of those events can also “give that person an option to come into the event and wear a mask.”

...For indoor events such as concerts and sporting events, he said, “We are requiring, not recommending, the vaccine verification/negative test. There is an option to have it be by self-attestation.” Ghaly then said there will be a forthcoming California Department of Public Health posting on that.”

...Ghaly also said that there will be no restrictions on travel from various other parts of the country — are you listening, Disneyland?

He said there may be some restrictions on travel from various hard-hit parts of the globe, however.”

Basically sounds like back to normal.

The state is allowing Disney to have full capacity, packed in as tight as before, without masks, from any state. The only “requirement” is that they add a little tick mark when purchasing tickets asking if you’ve been vaccinated, yes or no. End of story, no need to check.

This could speak very well to late summer (August maybe) and fall activities being largely back to normal (parades, fireworks, Halloween party, etc).

That's my hope, for sure. The data looks really good in Orange County, and it'll be really interesting to see what numbers are like in July. After 14 months of doomy thoughts, it's hard to not keep thinking "maybe we're jumping the gun?". Here's hoping for the best.

Like so many others here, I cannot wait to travel (from out of state) to Disneyland. My personal preference is to not wear a mask all day (my nose really does not get along with masks), so we're waiting for it to be safe enough to travel without any restrictions before booking any trips.
