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: El Bondi

We wanted to pick up a late lunch / early dinner for the airport on Halloween day, but to our surprise, most places closed early for Halloween!  

So after searching online for what could be open, we found the El Bondi food truck, which specializes in empanadas.

They offer meat-filled and veggie-filled empanadas.

We ended up getting a 3-pack (a single is $7, but the more you buy, the less per empanada it is).  We got Pepperoni, Mushroom, and Spinach.

I unfortunately didn't take decent photos of the filling (I was too hungry and just dug in), but they were all very delicious!  The crust was the perfect texture, and still held up even though we ate them about an hour later.  

Pepperoni and mozzarella is a classic combo that can't go wrong.  The Mushroom empanada was filled with white mushrooms, green onion, whipping cream, olive oil, salt, pepper, and mozzarella.

The Spinach turned out to be my fave, surprisingly.  It was also filled with onions, red bell peppers, hard boiled eggs, Parmesan, mozzarella, white cream sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano.  

The peppers and the eggs really made the empanada in my opinion.  

The empanadas were so filling and satisfying.

El Bondi turned out to be a great find!
