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 Salt Lake City: Red Iguana

While in Utah, I discovered that thousands of Mexicans arrived in Utah in the early 1900s to work in the mines, which led to an abundance of great Mexican restaurants.

Red Iguana is one of them.

The first time we tried to go there, we made the mistake of going the same night as a Utah Jazz game, so it was packed.

We didn't want to wait for the 35-45 minutes we were quoted, so we returned the next day, at the recommendation of the employee, who said it shouldn't be too crowded.

We returned early afternoon, thinking it was an off-peak time, but we were wrong!  It was very crowded, but thankfully no wait.

And we were lucky to get seated, because we were told that parties larger than 5 need to make reservations, which we did not have.  Fortunately, the employee gathered seats around a little table to squeeze us in - we were grateful!

We were immediately given some Chips & Salsa that were so addicting.  The salsa was smooth with a little spice.  We loved it and got seconds (complimentary!)

Shrimp Quesadilla

The Shrimp Quesadilla was an appetizer, but it was huge, like a meal in itself!  
Beef Burrito

Enmoladas
I opted to order the Enmoladas, made with their signature mole.  Enmoladas are described on the menu as: Three corn tortillas folded into triangles, filled with refried beans, topped with mole negro, sprinkled with a queso fresco and cotija blend, then topped with pickled red onions.

It was my first time having enmoladas, and it was delicious.  There was a little sweetness from the mole, and I loved the smoky beans and pickled red onions.  
Tacos de Pollo

Red Iguana
The Red Iguana is a combo plate consisting of a cheese enchilada, a beef taco, beef flauta, chile relleno, and a beef tostada.  It also came with rice and beans on the side.  It was a huge plate and perfect if you can't decide what to order and / or want to try a bunch of popular items.   
Chili Verde Chimichanga

The food was fantastic and the service was great.  Highly recommend Red Iguana when visiting Salt Lake City!
