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 Utah: Bonneville Salt Flats

The Bonneville Salt Flats are the remains of Lake Bonneville.  Spanning 30,000 acres, the salt flats are quite a sight!
There is an area at the Bonneville Salt Flats used for official racing events, and you can drive on the salt flats, but we did not chance it with our rental car.  
It's a super cool place to visit, and you should come prepared with eyewear and sunscreen, as the sunlight reflecting off the salt can really be intense.  
If you touch the salt, be sure to go to a nearby restroom to wash your hands, as we saw lots of animal scat at the salt flats.  I've seen some sites that talked about licking the salt, but I wouldn't recommend it - people are walking all over it, and of course so are the animals.  

The Bonneville Salt Flats are about a 90-minute drive from Salt Lake City. 

It's a definitely a neat place to visit!
