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.

Visit Hong Kong: Central Mid-Level Escalators

The Central Mid-Level Escalators are the world's largest outdoor covered escalator system in the world.  It runs for nearly 1/2 a mile!  

From 6am - 10am, the escalator goes down, primarily for the commuters.


From 1030am to midnight, the escalator goes up.  

We decided to take the escalators up to the top.  

Along the way we saw numerous attractions, restaurants, and shops that you could stop at, but we simply just kept going until the escalators ended.

There are adjacent steps for when you need to go in the opposite direction of the escalators, or simply for those who prefer to take the stairs.  

There are several stops along the way in which you can check out the views from landings between escalators.  


We did not want to walk all the way back down once we got to the top, so we ended up taking a mini bus back to a train station to get back to our hotel. 





The escalators provide more convenient transport options for those who live along the path that the escalator traverses.  

We saw many residents with their carts full of groceries, visitors finding spots to eat, and the occasional influencer blocking pedestrians as they took photos.

The Central Mid-Level Escalators have become a tourist attraction over recent years, but visitors should be respectful, as they are in the middle of a neighborhood where people live and work.
