The Radio Television Digital News Association recently recognized ABC News and ABC News Radio with five Edward R. Murrow Awards for reporting on several news stories in the last year.

World News with Diane Sawyer was honored with a Murrow Award for Best Newscast for its special one-hour edition of World News from Newtown United Methodist Church following the shooting tragedy in Newtown last December. The broadcast featured Sawyer's interview with Kaitlyn Roig, a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary.

The 40th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards and the Daytime Entertainment Creative Arts Emmy Awards were recently presented, and the Disney/ABC Television Group walked away with nearly a dozen awards.

It's been a little more than a week since the registration for runDisney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend opened, and the events are quickly filling up.

Registration opened at noon on June 11 for all Princess Half Marathon events, and within a few hours the new-for-2014 Glass Slipper Challenge was sold out. As of press time, the Enchanted 10K was at 99 percent capacity while the Princess Half Marathon was at 65 percent capacity.

The last piece of track has been laid in place at the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train coaster in New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom.

The coaster, which is set to open in 2014, is an, indoor-and-outdoor coaster with cars that sway from side-to-side. It takes guests on a journey through the mine where the Seven Dwarfs spent their days digging for gems, and will feature music and characters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
