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.

Visit California: Torrance Marriott South Bay

Our family recently stayed at the Torrance Marriott South Bay, where DH had some business to do.

We stayed in a Double Bed Room ($249/night AAA rate).

The room was basic, but nice.



The property itself overall is really nice.  I like how they offer flavored water at the lobby entrance, and even fresh fruit.



Everyone on the staff we encountered was super friendly, especially Paul, the concierge.  He even gave our boys a fun Nickelodeon bag filled with all kinds of goodies.



The hotel is right across the street from the Del Amo Fashion Center, so it's easy access lots of great stores and restaurants.  Of course you can also dine right on the property or at other places nearby.

Parking is $15/night ($17 valet) in a detached parking structure.

Although it was a quick stay, it was a very nice one.

Here are more photos of our room and the property:
