But first, today's weather:

Clouds giving way to some sun. High: 65 Low: 49.

Here are the top stories in Orange County today:

1. You can now visit Disney parks at a lower price—but you have to act quickly. Disneyland is offering SoCal residents a limited time special on "a three-day, one-park-per-day weekday ticket for $219 per person." That comes out to $73 dollars per day per person. The regular price is $249 per person for a three-day ticket. (Orange County Patch)
2. The new Michelin Guide is coming out soon, and an Orange County restaurant is on the list of "Bib Gourmands"! Michelin praises Ramen & Tsukemen TAO in Buena Park for its "wondrous steaming bowls," and its "soul-stirring comfort food made with passion and dedication." The full list will be featured in the Michelin Star Revelation event on Monday, Dec. 5 and on Michelin's website and app. (KTLA Los Angeles)
3. The Santa Ana police department has lost a beloved police dog to cancer. Aslan served the Santa Ana Police Department "for six faithful years," working with SAPD Corporal S. Martinez. As "the only certified firearm detection K-9 at the police department," Aslan was credited with finding and seizing 10,000 rounds of ammo, guns and body armor from a home in Santa Ana. The police department offered sincere condolences to Corporal Martinez, and added, "Rest in peace, Aslan. Your K-9 partners will take it from here." ( Orange County Patch)
