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: Wan Chai Wet Market

I think it's important to visit local grocers, markets, farms, and other operations whenever and wherever we travel to learn more about heritage and culture.  While in Hong Kong, we took the kids to the Wan Chai Wet Market, where they got to see a lot of food stalls they wouldn't typically see back home.

We saw all sorts of seafoods, meats, animal parts, and more. 

It was important to me to show the kids what people in other countries cook and eat, and to keep an open mind and not look at the foods negatively just because it's different from what we see, and they were all very intrigued by what they saw.

We thought it was really interesting to see such huge abalone and crabs, and all sorts of fish and seafoods that we don't see in Hawaii.  

It was also neat to watch the stall owners cut up the meats and to see the various parts they sell - parts that are commonly discarded elsewhere.



It's always an educational adventure when visiting markets while we travel!
