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: Umekes Fish Market Bar & Grill

I recently went to Umekes Fish Market Bar & Grill for the first time.
Caesar
There is an Ahi Caesar on the menu, but my co-worker asked to sub the ahi for poke, and they allowed it for an extra charge (he chose Da Avo poke).  He enjoyed the poke!

Poke Nachos
The Poke Nachos consisted of won ton chips, seaweed salad, unagi sauce, lomi salmon, garlic aioli, and your choice of poke (pictured is Kanaka poke - ogo, Hawaiian chili pepper, onions, shoyu, & oyster sauce).

Our team member really liked the poke.
Crispy Pork Belly
I really liked the Crispy Pork Belly and the accompanying Bug Juice.  

Lolo for Kulolo
The Lolo for Kulolo consisted of panko crusted Kulolo, deep fried and served with your choice of ice cream (we opted for Haupia).  

The lau lau dishes on the menu were sold out for the day, so it seems like those are the popular items.

Portions were huge and prices reasonable!
