Visit Disneyland Resort: MagicBand+

  Not too many people had  MagicBand+  at Disneyland Resort, from what I noticed, but that didn't stop us from getting them.   You can use the MagicBand+ to scan into the entry gates or scan your Lightning Lane passes.  No need to take out your phone and open up the Disneyland app or your photos app for a screenshot of your admission ticket or Lightning Lane pass.  It's easy to sync the MagicBand+ to everyone in your party through the Disneyland app. It's rechargeable, and one full charge is supposed to last 1-3 days, but we'd charge them at the end of each night. Another fun thing about the MagicBand+ is that it'll blink and flash in all sorts of colors depending on where you are, whether at certain rides or shows.  You can also use to link PhotoPass photos and other experiences. It's totally not a necessary thing to have, but it's a nice-to-have for the convenience.   One thing I did read prior to getting them is that they have a tende...

Visit Anaheim: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park Eats

In addition to dining at the Plaza Inn for the Minnie & Friends Breakfast in the Park, we ate at a few other places at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. 

Here are just a few of them:

Flo's V8 Cafe (Disney California Adventure Park):

Kids Turkey Sandwich with Fruits and Veggies
Toddler Mac 'n Cheese with Fruits and Veggies


Village Haus Restaurant (Disneyland Park):

Kids Pizza Meal
Pepperoni Pizza
BLT Flatbread Pizza
The Lucky Fortune Cookery (Disney California Adventure Park):

Mandarin Orange Chicken Kids Meal

Spicy Korean Beef
Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill (Disney California Adventure Park):

Chicken Burrito
Pacific Wharf Cafe (Disney California Adventure Park):

Sugar Cookie


My favorite of all the meals was the BLT Flatbread Pizza from Village Haus.  It was a generous portion (I only ate 1/3 of it) and it was really good.

Village Haus was also my favorite spot to eat at Disneyland during this trip - primarily because it was empty and air conditioned (it was 100 degrees so it really was nice to dine in air conditioning!).

At Flo's V8 Cafe, I really like how they serve lots of fruits with the kids meals.

DH and I also liked how we finally found places that serve items other than pizza, burgers, and chicken fingers.  The Lucky Fortune Cookery was his favorite place to dine at, and the Chicken Burrito from the Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill was pretty huge.

Of course, prices are on the high side, but overall the food was good almost every where we went, and thank goodness we have Annual Passports, which meant discounts at just about anywhere we dined!
