Returning theme park fans were not ready for an update to one of Disneyland s key attractions, after visitors to the newly opened Snow White s Enchanted Wish found the experience triggering .
Last weekend, Disneyland opened its Mickey Mouse-emblazoned gates for the first time in over 13 months.
Piers Morgan has slammed cancel culture and wokeness on social media once again.
Recently, two journalists explained how they found
Snow White s Enchanted Wish problematic because at the end of the ride the Prince kisses Snow White while she s asleep.
They questioned why a non-consensual kiss was included in the children s attraction. Haven t we already agreed that consent in early Disney movies is a major issue? That teaching kids that kissing, when it hasn t been established if both parties are willing to engage, is not OK? It s hard to understand why the Disneyland of 2021 would choose to add a scene with such old-fashioned ideas of what a man is allowed to do to a woman, they wrote in the SF Gate.

WINTER HAVEN HOSPITAL
Winter Haven Hospital s Bostick Structural Heart Team completed its first MitraClip procedure. The MitraClip repairs a condition called mitral regurgitation. When the mitral valve fails to close completely, it can cause blood to flow backward through the heart. Left untreated, mitral regurgitation can lead to serious complications, including heart failure. This approach helps patients avoid open-heart procedures, meaning they can recover and resume their normal lives sooner. Offering such services is a direct benefit of the expansion of Winter Haven Hospital s cardiac program, especially the addition of the hybrid catheterization lab.
