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. It's totally not a necessary thing to have, but it's a nice-to-have for the convenience.   One thing I did read prior to getting them is that they have a tende...

Visit Big Island: Sweet Indulgence Hawaii

On the way to Mauna Lani one morning, we knew we had to get some food ahead of time since there may not be a chance to eat until late at night.  I researched to find what would be open for breakfast options, and found Sweet Indulgence Hawaii, which offered both sweet and savories.
Braised Short Rib Banh Mi

Bacon and Eggs Sandwich
The sandwiches were huge and stuffed!  The short rib was so tender, and I loved the pickled veggies. 

The Bacon and Eggs Sandwich included tender braised pork belly and a delightful sweet chili aioli.  Both sandwiches were made with housemade ciabatta.

Quiche
We picked up some quiche for our teammates - they looked so delish!

Lilikoi Crunch Cake, Lilikoi Cheesecake, Caramel Mac Nut Cheesecake
And let's not forget the desserts!  I loved they had so many varieties of cheesecake.  They are my weakness.

The cheesecake was creamy and rich, just the way I like it.

But surprisingly, it was the Lilikoi Crunch Cake that really won me over.

I wasn't planning on getting it because I'm not much of a crunch cake (or cake in general) fan, but my friend insisted.

I'm so glad he did, because it was the best crunch cake I ever had (and he enjoyed it was well).  The cake was so moist, and the lilikoi was just so pleasant without being overpowering.

Chef Leah was so sweet and gave us some homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, and it paired perfectly with the crunch cake. 

I am excited to try more cheesecake flavors, and I definitely will be order the Lilikoi Crunch Cake again!
