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 California: BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse - Torrance

Our second night in Torrance we decided to once again go to Del Amo Fashion Center for dinner - specifically BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse

We dined at a different BJ's location once before and LOVED the deep dish pizza so we were once again looking forward to the pizza.

DH and I started off with the Avocado Egg Rolls. I thought it was okay - it was a little mushier than I had expected, and I thought the sweet tamarind sauce was a little too sweet for me. DH, however, really liked the egg rolls.

DH ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza, which we actually ended up sharing.  It was really, really good (DH said it was his favorite meal of the entire trip).

 DS2 had the Kids Chicken Tenders.
 DS1 had the Kids Mac 'n' Cheese.
I actually ordered a Roasted Turkey Cobb Sandwich with Wedge Fries - but I didn't eat it at all since DH and I shared the pizza (we did eat the sandwich for lunch the next day and it was very good).
Since we had signed up for BJ's Premier Rewards, we received a coupon via email for a free Mini Pizookie (pizza cookie) or a Handcrafted Soda, and we ended up getting the Pizookie (original Chocolate Chip with Vanilla Ice Cream).  It was actually a lot bigger than I had expected, and it tasted as good as it looked.
The service was a bit slow that day (the guests at a table next to us were there way before we were and for some reason their order kept getting delayed and the manager kept coming by to apologize to them), but our server was friendly and the food was DELICIOUS!

BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse is still one of our faves to dine at while on the mainland!
