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 Park Centennial in 2016: From $0 to $49K Per Person

Did you know that you can legally get into every national park for free during the National Park Service Birthday August 25-28? Some people prefer to pitch a tent behind a pick-up truck at the Furnace Creek Resort RV Park and Campground in Death Valley National Park for $18, but then there are those eight lucky people who will take off on a private jet tour of the majestic U.S. national parks for $49,000 per person, double occupancy. This trip also includes private balloons, steam trains, fast cars and access to experiences that would make Ansel Adams jealous.

Visitors to the national parks have many ways to experience "the parks," as we all like to call them, but never before, and maybe never again, will there be the trip like Privel (PrivelExperiences.com) is offering at $49K per person.

The Majestic American West: Park to Park Journey, Sept. 18-29, is the first customized itinerary from Privel (pronounced Pri-VELL, combining “private” and “travel”), the newest luxury brand in the portfolio of Xanterra Parks & Resorts. The 12-day private VIP tour – personally curated by Dan Austin, President of Xanterra’s Austin Adventures – departs from Las Vegas and stops at eight legendary, iconic national parks, including Death Valley, Yosemite, Crater Lake, Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Zion and the Grand Canyon.

Privel is a Xanterra Parks & Resorts brand. Call 888-598-0070 for more information or visit PrivelExperiences.com.
