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 Portland: Cafe Rowan

I love brunch, and I was excited to try Portland brunch spot Cafe Rowan.

I am #TeamSavory when it comes to brunch, so I ordered the The Rowan.
The Rowan

The Rowan consisted of a fried egg, pepper bacon, smoked cheddar, and housemade blueberry jam.   

I didn't know how I would feel about the blueberry jam on a savory sandwich, but I liked the contrasting touch of sweetness.  It was a great, satisfying sandwich!  
Bananas Foster French Toast

There is only one sweet on the menu, and I wasn't planning on ordering the Bananas Foster French Toast until I saw the server walk it to another table. 

It was really delicious. The brioche was nice and soft. I thought the miso flavor was faint in the miso caramel sauce, but I really loved the bananas and the cinnamon sugar walnut crumble.

I'm not a coffee drinker so the coffee maple syrup was too strong for my liking, but overall it was so yummy.
The Morty

My friend had The Morty - a special of the day. 

If you love brunch as much as I do, give Cafe Rowan a try!
