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.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore Says It’s OK to Touch a Jellyfish in Latest Exhibit, Opening May 12

Visitors in Baltimore can expect a new hands-on exploratory experience at the National Aquarium’s latest exhibit Living Seashore starting May 12. 
As one of only a few exhibits in the country to allow direct interaction with jellyfish, the Living Seashore exhibit will take guests on a journey beyond the crashing waves and sandy beaches and into the ever-changing Mid-Atlantic seashore to explore the variety of marine life all within arm’s reach.
The interactive exhibit features two touch pools where visitors will be greeted by the National Aquarium’s interpreters and invited to touch a variety of animals, including  Atlantic stingrays, horseshoe crabs and of course moon jellies. The exhibit also brings the beach’s hidden treasures to eye level, where guests will discover, touch and learn about hermit crabs, shell fragments and egg cases on the discovery wall. Guests will also have the opportunity to look for clues on a digital multi-touch table, learning about objects that wash up on the beach.
The $5.5 million exhibit was built as part of a continued effort to promote conservation, in this case focusing on the animals and plants that share the beach with us humans.  Guests will also have the opportunity to pledge to protect aquatic treasures and similar habitats on the digital “Shore Hero Conservation Station.”  This exhibit follows the addition of Blacktip Reef, a $12.5 million Indo-Pacific reef exhibit that opened about two years ago and the first and largest of several major renovations to come at the National Aquarium.
