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 California: Tommy & Atticus

Besides "ice cream near me," "cookies near me" is my other popular Google search term.  While in the SoCal area, Tommy and Atticus was a search result that popped up in my quest for cookies, so we paid a visit.

It's in a strip mall so it's easy to overlook, but the bakery was bustling!

They specialize in bread, but had so many amazing treats, and I was set on the cookie.

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie

Kouign Amann filled with Vanilla Cream and Raspberries

Citrus Morning Bun

Potato Tile

The Potato Tile was amazing as well - with potatoes, garlic and shallot bechamel, white cheddar, and fontina.

I love savory pastries, and this was absolutely delish!
Chocolate Croissant

All the baked goods were thoroughly enjoyed.

Highly recommend if you're in the area!
