  California has announced many of their COVID-19 restrictions are ending tomorrow - Tuesday, June 15th 2021. Disneyland has also made an adjustment to their mask policy. Disneyland now says that vaccinated guests will no longer be required to wear masks at the resort including inside restaurants and attractions. Social distancing will no longer be enforced either. As for verification, Disney says they will not be checking vaccination status, but will instead be taking guests at their word. Children, and those who are not vaccinated will still be asked to wear a mask. These changes go into effect tomorrow at the Disneyland Resort - and we’ll keep an eye on this story.
