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.

Find Your Park in Baltimore in Honor of NPS’ Centennial Anniversary

In honor of the National Park Service’s 100th birthday, Baltimore’s parks and historic trails are celebrating the national Find Your Park campaign (www.findyourpark.com) with special events and activities through September.

Since its 1729 founding, Baltimore has played a key role in creating the American identity and is home to 70 neighborhoods that are designated as historic districts and more than 56,000 buildings listed in 52 National Register historic districts (a number only surpassed by New York City).

The most well-known of these is Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, a star-shaped fort near the Inner Harbor. Fort McHenry is the only site to carry the “national monument and historic shrine” title and played a critical role in the War of 1812, when it was successfully defended from attack by the British Navy. That battle also inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner” which originally was going to be called “Defence of Fort M'Henry.” This summer, visitors can tour the fort and enjoy ranger talks and living history demonstrations as part of the "Fort! Flag! Freedom!"

For a look at Baltimore’s top parks including Patterson Park, Druid Hill Park, the Inner Harbor’s West Shore and the historic trails and byways that pass through the city, visit http://baltimore.org/article/explore-park-near-you-baltimore and http://baltimore.org/article/find-your-park-baltimore.
