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 Kona: Kona Sea Salt

Kona Sea Salt offers tours for those interested in the salt-making process.  As part of Naʻau, we got an abbreviated tour with Melanie, Chief Salt Maker, who graciously spent time explaining the process as well as the history of the salt farm.
 
We started the tour with a refreshing glass of water and some of their Magnesium Drops, which we learned was produced during the salt-making process.
The location of the farm allows Kona Sea Salt to access nutrient-rich sea water 2200 feet deep.  
It was very interesting to learn how different salt crystals were produced during the drying process, how long it takes, as well as the production of nigari (what is used to make tofu).


The heat was intense, so if you have an umbrella (or even a neck fan), it's highly recommended!

Kona Sea Salt offers all sorts of salts and magnesium products in their store or online.

We didn't have time for a salt tasting or a foot soak, but hopefully next time!
