Guidelines Released for Reopening Disney World, but Will They Work?

Two children watch the fireworks display as it explodes over Cinderella's Castle at Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, May 7, 2008. The complex is reportedly the most visited and largest recreational resort in the world, containing four theme parks, two water parks, twenty-three themed hotels, and numerous shopping, dining, entertainment and recreation venues.

Candice Patton in Marathon/The Flash episode
The Mirror Iris storyline on The CW's The Flash has finally semi-concluded, and it delivered one of the best WestAllen moments in a long time. But it also used Iris West-Allen, and actress Candice Patton, better than the last few years of the show overall, which is a testament to Eric Wallace, the new showrunner, and his desire to put the women of The Flash first.
