...how long will it be before Disney allows contact with the characters again, I.E children to hug them?
Yes, Disneyland is mask free for guests but not staff. And California really isn't fully open because so many places still require masks and social distancing.
Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do that thing.... Most businesses CAN go without masks or social distancing now, but a lot of them are choosing to keep those restrictions in place for the time being ...
I work for a corporation with 64 locations, only two of them in California. Mask mandate will be reviewed again July 12th, until then nationwide we still have to wear masks in the office and in any public setting.Yes, it's sort of tentative right now. Most businesses CAN go without masks or social distancing now, but a lot of them are choosing to keep those restrictions in place for the time being. I think each one is waiting for the other to blink on this matter and nobody wants to set precedent by being one of the first, kind of like a mexican standoff.
I'm just waiting for my workplace, Nordstrom Warehouse in Glen Helen, to finally lift their mask restriction so I can breathe freely while I work in Picking.
I'm holding my breath here in Illinois for same reason, basically full opening about a week ago.let's hope this reopening doesn't trigger a spike in covid cases.

Yep It will be up to the unions.I think that’ll be the very last thing to return. And I’m sure it’ll have to be worked out with the unions.

If it's one thing that has stuck with my husband and I it's space. We're much more aware of space around us and I think people are more than willing to hug their friends and family but strangers is still a bit iffy at the moment. Even with my husband's company they aren't really back to handshaking yet and they are doing billion-dollar deals without it. I think for Disney while they may allow the characters to come out more than before as time goes on and giving the guests more of that hybrid interaction they want they'll be weighing closely that very close very constant very repeated contact with the global population that a meet and greet hug has. I think you're totally right about the unionsI think that’ll be the very last thing to return. And I’m sure it’ll have to be worked out with the unions.
The virus will likely be around in some form for a very long time. I do not believe that children will be widely vaccinated any time in the near future.I think bringing characters back to hug one unvaccinated child after another is probably not a prudent thing. Once a large percentage of children are vaccinated, or the virus is eradicated the hugging characters could be back.
Government buildings..although I'm not seeing 100% compliance except airports. Most wearing mask aren't covering their noses. Rumor has it those mandates will be gone by SeptemberWhere? Besides transportation (airports, buses, trains) and medical offices. Where else is still requiring masks?

The public library and some other local businesses have asked that you continue to wear a mask .
