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 Utah: Antelope Island State Park

We arrived in Salt Lake City at 530am, and we were looking for something to do since we had several hours to kill before check-in.

We decided upon Antelope Island, since it involved driving through scenic views and not needing to leave our vehicle (since it was cold and we had our carry-ons with us).
It's an enormous park that takes you along the Great Salt Lake with snow-capped mountains in view.

As one would guess, antelopes can be found on the island, but we didn't see any.  

We did, however, see another animal that Antelope Island is popular for - bison!  


There are bison signs all throughout Antelope Island, but we saw most of them near the Bison Corral.  

We made sure to stay a very safe distance away, always in the car, as when the bison are aggravated or threatened, they could charge, and can run as fast as 40mph!  

There are lots of trails throughout Antelope Island, but it was way too cold for us to explore any of them.  There are also picnic areas and campsites.  



It was a great place to explore, even if only by car.  The scenery was just beautiful, and seeing the bison was pretty neat!  

Note: There is an admission fee per vehicle.
