Over the past decade, more than 150 moms, dads, and grandparents have served on the Disney Parks Moms Panel.

With parents of twins and those with special needs children to single working moms, bilingual mavens and members of the LGBT community, the 2017 Panel is inclusive of every type of parent or guardian looking to plan a magical Disney getaway.

Originating in 2008 as a simple question-and-answer forum with only 12 members focused on the Walt Disney World Resort, the Disney Parks Moms Panel has evolved into a global multilingual resource used by millions and backed by a passionate and varied group of frequent Disney travelers eager to share their expertise with likeminded families. Today, these everyday moms and dads possess exemplary knowledge of not only the Walt Disney World Resort, but also other memorable Disney vacation escapes and offerings, including the Disneyland Resort, Disney Vacation Club, Disney Cruise Line, runDisney, and the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

“The success of the Disney Parks Moms Panel is wholly measured by the satisfaction of our guests and their families, which is what makes the annual selection process so important for us,” said Leanne O’Regan, Director of Content Relations for Disney Parks. “We are so grateful to the thousands of inspiring Disney advocates who apply each year, including our dynamic new group for 2017. With their continued support, we can deliver on our promise to help visitors around the world tailor unforgettable Disney vacations for years to come.”

In September 2016, thousands of parents around the world vied for a spot on the Disney Parks Moms Panel and the chance to share their Disney travel experiences with others. Following the selection process, an impressive group of 12 dedicated and thoughtful moms and dads – composed of a litigation lawyer, high school English teacher, engineer, registered nurse, and more – were chosen to usher in the tenth year of the Disney Parks Moms Panel. The 2017 Disney Parks Moms Panelists joins 19 other Disney-savvy travelers ready to help families plan and create magical vacation memories.

Discovery en Español: A World Of Adventure For The New Year

January 10, 2017

MIAMI, Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Discovery en Español welcomes the new year with adrenaline-filled premieres on its popular programming block ‘Jueves de Aventura,’ highlighting the original production DESAFÍO X 2: MÉXICO, where two survival experts from Colombia and México, will test their skills in inhospitable territories of Chiapas, Veracruz and Puebla.

Together, they have to avoid danger, predators, and find food, water and shelter. However, conflicts are not only limited to wilderness, and each man’s survival skills might not always match those of his partner, so combining techniques and living together could become the greatest of challenges for both men.

Twelve winners from previous seasons return to overcome a 40-day challenge in what could be one of the most difficult experiences of their lives.

Ask Six Simple Questions to Select the Right Auto Repair Shop

January 10, 2017

BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The non-profit Car Care Council recommends asking six simple questions to help identify the right auto repair shop to properly care for one of your most valuable assets, your car.

Does the business employ ASE-certified technicians? Credentials and affiliations are indicators of professionalism and the management’s commitment to training and education.
Is the shop and customer waiting area clean and organized? Cleanliness and organization are signs of a well-run business.
Are customers greeted and treated in a friendly and respectful manner? Many auto repair businesses excel in the area of customer service and satisfaction. A simple phone call to the shop to inquire about their services can give you a glimpse of how they treat customers.
Does the business provide a written estimate? The business should complete a written estimate and request your signature prior to starting any repairs on your car.
Does the business offer a warranty? Most auto repair businesses offer a warranty on parts and labor and the warranty is usually in writing or posted in the waiting area.
Does the business have a list of satisfied customers or references that it is willing to give you? Satisfied customers and recommendations from family, friends and neighbors are helpful in finding a good shop. Many auto repair facilities also have company websites that are worth checking out as they often include testimonials and additional information about the business.

“A vehicle is a major purchase for most people, so it makes sense to take the time to select an auto repair facility that will take the best care of that investment,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Being an informed auto care consumer means not only learning about your vehicle and its service needs, but also the facility that will make the repairs.”

The Car Care Council video entitled “Auto Service and Repair: What to Expect” provides valuable information on such topics as what to expect at the shop and covers the real truth about consumer rights and the manufacturer’s warranty.

The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.

Energy Independence Tome “Cut the Cord” Now Available as Audio Book and Free on Website in Spanish

January 10, 2017

PALM DESERT, California, Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — “Cut the Cord: How to Achieve Energy Independence by Joining the Solar-Powered Microgrid Revolution,” is now available on Amazon as an audio book. In addition, author Vincent Battaglia, MBA, founder of Renova Energy Corportation, is making available a free, downloadable copy in Spanish on the website CutTheCordBook.com.

Photo – http://mma.prnewswire.com/media/454795/Battaglia_Stack.jpg

“This information is so relevant for so many people right now,” explained Battaglia. “We want to make sure that as many people as possible can access it and use it to educate themselves as to their options related to solar and advanced energy storage.”

The global market for grid-connected residential photovoltaic (PV) solar installations coupled with energy storage is predicted to grow tenfold to reach more than 900 megawatts (MW) in 2018, up from just 90 MW in 2014, according to new analysis from IHS Technology.

This expansion is being driven by the increasing attractiveness of residential solar systems for self-consumption, as well as by energy savings and increasing interest from homeowners in becoming more independent of the electricity grid.

On Amazon, the book sells for $14.99 with the Kindle version priced at $9.99. The “Cut the Cord” website prices it at $9.99 with 10 copies available at a discounted rate of $7.50 each for use by universities as a class resource.

Battaglia founded Renova Solar in 2006 in Southern California and serves as CEO for the $30 million company that was the first in the country to be accredited by NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) and was named the SunPower Residential National Dealer of the Year in 2015. He is also the founder of Mycrogrid, a company focused on providing storage solutions for residential and commercial applications. Battaglia also serves as the Executive Director of the Electric Ratepayers Alliance, a national non-profit dedicated to ensuring access and high standards in the solar industry on behalf of consumers.
