(Family Features) With school out for summer, children will be away from teachers and coaches who might be trained in first aid and CPR, making it crucial for parents and summer caregivers to brush up on safety tips and life-saving skills. No matter where your summer plans take you, make sure you’re equipped with the knowledge and tools you need for safe, fun days in the sun. Keep a First Aid Kit on Hand Having basic first aid supplies handy lets you take care of minor boo-boos so the summer play can carry on. Plan to include cleansers, wound dressings, bandages and tape; antibiotic ointment; scissors and tweezers; bug bite treatment; and over-the-counter medications such as pain relievers and antihistamines for allergic reactions. Learn CPR Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any age. Summer activities like swimming, boating and other watersports can lead to drowning or serious injuries, but so can outdoor play and sporting events in extreme heat. In fact, more than 23,000 children experience cardiac arrest outside of the hospital each year, according to the American Heart Association, approximately 40% of which are related to sports. Immediate CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) use can double or even triple someone’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. For teens and adults, Hands-Only CPR could save their life. For infants and children, CPR with breaths is recommended. Studies show children as young as 9 years old can learn and retain CPR skills. This summer, there are many learning options available to families, including online CPR courses, local in-person Heartsaver courses, CPR Anytime Training Kits and CPR kiosks, available in public places and airports across the country. Know the Signs of Heat Exhaustion Even when it doesn’t seem extreme, heat and humidity can take a toll. On one end of the heat stress spectrum are heat cramps, which may ease if you take a break, drink water and cool off. More serious heat exhaustion may occur when the body’s temperature rises to 100-102 F and can include an inability to maintain physical activity, dizziness, nausea, dehydration and rapid heart rate. Try to cool down and drink water, but if symptoms worsen or vomiting occurs, seek medical help. Heat stroke may cause death or permanent disability. It is characterized by a body temperature of 104-106 F or higher, heat exhaustion symptoms, trouble walking and neurological difficulties such as slurred speech or confusion. Be Smart Around Water Drowning can happen quickly and silently. Every day, an average of 10 people of all ages die in the United States from accidental, non-boating related drowning. Always swim with a friend and keep watch, especially where water isn’t clear and underwater obstacles may be present. When boating, always wear a life jacket. At home, install fencing at least 4 feet high around pools and remove toys from the pool when it’s not in use so children aren’t tempted to play without supervision. Bike Safely Taking some safety precautions can make bike rides even more enjoyable. Before heading out, check all riders’ bikes to ensure everything is in good operating condition, including brakes, tires, chains and gears. Always wear a helmet and consider guards to protect your knees, elbows and hands in the event of a fall. Avoid riding at night, when you’re less visible to drivers, and wear bright colors that make you stand out. Drive with traffic (not against it) and follow the same rules as a car when it comes to street signs and intersections. Remain alert at all times and avoid distractions such as music that can prevent you from hearing warning sounds such as a car horn.

The internet loves a good rumor, but here’s what’s really happening with Disney’s future plans

If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, you might have stumbled across some eye-catching headlines claiming Disneyland is packing up and heading to Nevada. Before you start panicking about your next family vacation plans, let’s break down what’s actually happening – and what’s pure internet fiction.

The Latest Rumor Mill

Recent weeks have seen a fresh wave of claims that Disneyland is relocating to Las Vegas, with some sources even suggesting specific timelines like “starting at the end of October.” These stories have been spreading like wildfire across TikTok and other social platforms, racking up millions of views and causing genuine confusion among Disney fans.

But here’s the truth: Disneyland is absolutely not moving anywhere.

Where These Rumors Come From

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this type of misinformation. Back in 2020, a satirical website called “Uncle Walt’s Insider” published a completely fictional story claiming Disneyland would move to Texas. That piece was pure satire – meant to be humorous, not factual – but it fooled enough people that major fact-checking organizations like Snopes had to step in to debunk it.

The current Nevada rumors follow a similar pattern, often originating from satirical or entertainment-focused social media accounts that blur the line between comedy and news reporting.

The Real Story: Disney Production vs. Theme Parks

Here’s where things get interesting – and where some legitimate confusion might arise. While Disneyland the theme park isn’t going anywhere, Disney has been exploring opportunities to expand their film and television production operations in Nevada.

The Silver State has been actively courting entertainment companies with attractive tax incentives, and there have been discussions about Disney potentially establishing production studios or filming operations there. But that’s a completely different conversation from relocating Disneyland itself.

As one Reddit user perfectly summarized: “For those that didn’t read the article, they are talking about filming… Sony and Disney are looking to open production studios in Southern Nevada.”

What’s Actually Happening at Disneyland

Instead of moving, Disneyland is doing the exact opposite – it’s expanding right where it is. The DisneylandForward project, which received unanimous approval from Anaheim city officials, represents a massive multi-decade expansion plan that will bring:

New attractions and experiences

Additional hotels and dining options

Enhanced shopping areas

Improved parking infrastructure

More entertainment venues

This isn’t a company preparing to relocate – it’s a company doubling down on its Anaheim home with billions of dollars in long-term investments.

How to Spot These Rumors

When you see headlines about major theme park relocations, here are some red flags to watch for:

Check the source: Satirical websites and entertainment accounts often create fictional content for engagement

Look for official statements: Major business decisions like this would involve official Disney announcements, not just social media buzz

Consider the logistics: Moving an entire theme park would be one of the largest business relocations in history – it wouldn’t happen quietly

Follow the money: Disney’s recent investments in Anaheim expansion show their commitment to staying put

The Bottom Line: Disneyland is not moving to Nevada

Your Disneyland vacation plans are safe. The Happiest Place on Earth isn’t going anywhere – it’s just getting bigger and better right where Walt Disney originally envisioned it in sunny Southern California.

While Disney may explore new production opportunities in Nevada or other states, that’s about making movies and TV shows, not about relocating the iconic theme park that millions visit each year.

So the next time you see one of these relocation rumors pop up in your social media feed, you’ll know exactly what to think: it’s just another case of internet fiction masquerading as fact.
