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 Salt Lake City: Nickelmania

Nickelmania is an arcade chain in Utah.  It costs $2.50 to enter (everyone must pay the admission fee, regardless if they play video games or not, and if you have to leave for whatever reason, you must also pay the fee again), and you get a reloadable game card.

Games are in multiples of nickels, and even just $5 can really stretch far!  
There are all sorts of games - baseketball, skeeball, pinball, vintage arcade games, racing games, and so much more!

If you play any games that offer tickets, any tickets will be automatically loaded to our game card. 

You can redeem your tickets for typical arcade prizes, like candies, costume jewelry, and toy cars.  And of course there are bigger and better prizes the more tickets you have.

Nickelmania was a fun way to spend a few hours!
