• Haunted Mansion riders told to fend for themselves during Disneyland ride breakdown (ocregister.com) — Visitors on Anaheim’s Haunted Mansion were told over the intercom to climb out of their ride vehicles and find the nearest exit after a small electrical malfunction stopped the attraction on May 27. Video shows guests unlatching clamshell doors and walking through show scenes, prompting former cast members and fans to question why standard, staff-led evacuation procedures weren’t followed, though Disneyland reports everyone exited safely. 
• Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties Honored at Health Care Communicators of Southern California ‘Finest Awards' (sb-american.com) — Anaheim-based Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties just picked up four marketing awards from the Health Care Communicators of Southern California, spotlighting campaigns aimed at Latinx and LGBTQIA+ communities.
