• The Final COVID Rule Is Dead: Disneyland Restores Total Park-Hopping Freedom This Tuesday (disneytips.com) — If you’re heading to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim this week, Tuesday’s a big deal: the last major COVID-era rule disappears as all-day, anytime park-hopping returns between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. You’ll still need a starting park reservation, but you can ignore it on arrival, freely crisscrossing the short plaza as long as overall park capacity allows. 
• 72-year-old Mexican chain El Torito has closed over 150 restaurants (miamiherald.com) — A long-running Mexican restaurant chain, El Torito, has shrunk from nearly 200 locations to about two dozen, with its Anaheim restaurant temporarily closed since a 2024 fire. The article explains how rising costs, cautious diners, and intense competition are pressuring Mexican chains nationwide, leading to closures and even bankruptcies for several familiar brands.
• Election 2026: Here's who is winning in Orange County's congressional races (ocregister.com) — Anaheim voters now know who’s advancing in the key 46th Congressional District race that includes their city, with Democrat Lou Correa and Republican David Pan headed for a November rematch. The article also breaks down primary outcomes and remaining uncertainties across all Orange County–linked House districts, highlighting how local communities could shape control of Congress this fall.
