Summary
July is here! Which means the summer travel season is officially in full swing. It also brings those pesky mosquitoes that we all hate. But, did you know, there are hardly any at Disneyland? In this episode, Dr. Niket Sonpal will discuss how Disneyland keeps its property mosquito-free.
The 4th of July is a time for celebration, but it's also a time to be safe. Fireworks can be dangerous and they are the leading cause of injuries during the summer months. We hope you have a safe and happy 4th of July!
