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.

Adventure Canada Announces 2017 Arctic/Maritime Season

Just in time for the summer sailing season, Adventure Canada is proud to announce the launch of a new brochure, highlighting expeditions to the Canadian Arctic, East Coast and Greenland, headlined by the company’s fabled Northwest Passage departures. Chock-full of superb images from a talented roster of award-winning photographers, the Expeditions 2016 & 2017 brochure is the leading Arctic and Maritime expedition company’s most beautiful yet.

To embrace Canada’s 150th Anniversary in 2017, Adventure Canada has created a sailing season which celebrates its specialty: Canada’s most remote, pristine, and wild places.

2017 Expedition Season
Building on the impending 2016 season, the 198-passenger Ocean Endeavour will once again start its summer journey in Quebec City in 2017. The season begins with the Mighty Saint Lawrence voyage, one of National Geographic Traveller’s 50 Trips of a Lifetime. Next is the Sable Island expedition, the only travel itinerary featuring the mysterious 42-kilometre sand island off the coast of Nova Scotia. The Ocean Endeavour will then circumnavigate Newfoundland before sailing north up the coast of Labrador to Greenland. Explorations of the Inuit hamlets of Baffin Island and coastal Greenland follow, as with sailing to Nunavut’s northernmost National Parks and wildlife havens—all hallmarks of Adventure Canada’s programming. The season finishes with two sailings of the company’s Canadian Signature Experience, The Northwest Passage.

Adventure Canada strives to create exceptional partnerships with the most prestigious and important organizations in the travel, wildlife, cultural, and environmental fields. Their newest partner is WWF-Canada, joining the likes of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Explorer’s Club, Nikon Canada, the Royal Ontario Museum, and The Walrus Foundation.

To kick start this exciting season, Adventure Canada is offering an Early Booking Discount to reward those guests who want to jump on board right away. Until September 30, 2016, guests who book a 2017 Ocean Endeavour expedition with Adventure Canada will receive a 15% reduction in the cost of their berth.
