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.

Visit Hilo: Van Vietnamese Cuisine

I've passed by Van Vietnamese Cuisine many times and finally decided to try it after seeing how some people mentioned in an FB group that they have great Bahn Mis.

Grilled Chicken Bahn Mi

I wasn't expecting the chicken to be shredded, but the sandwich was tasty, and I too loved the bread.
