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 Maui: Momona Bakery and Coffee Shop

I've been wanting to stop at Momona Bakery and Coffee Shop for some time now, but my Maui trips were always too short!  I finally got a chance to try it on our most recent visit.  

Located in the former Sip Me building, the place was packed when we arrived around 11am on a Friday.  The line was long, and I saw people getting dropped off via shuttle vans with luggage in tow.  I heard some people in line say they've never seen it that busy before, so it could have been an anomaly.

In any case, we waited patiently in line and ordered: 

Chocolate-Covered Alfajores
The Alfajores is a sandwich-filled cookie.  They had several varieties, and my son took the last chocolate-covered one. 
Cinnamon Roll

Pastry Cream Medialuna

Nutella Medialuna

Medialuna's are a type of Argentinian croissant.  They were enormous and came with all sorts of fillings!

Brownie

I'm not much of a pastry person, and if we didn't have plans to go to lunch after, I would have ordered the cheesecake, but I ended up with a Brownie.

It was more dense than cakey (which I was happy about), and quite fudgy.  I could only finish less than half because it was just so chocolaty and rich (and I savored the remaining for dessert later that evening).

Everyone else devoured their treats!

Momona also offers savory sandwiches, so you can have lunch there too!

Definitely check out Momona Bakery and Coffee Shop for a sweet fix!
