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: Temple Square

We did a brief walk through Temple Square one morning while in Utah.  The Temple Square is home to all things related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons).  The Temple itself is currently undergoing renovations, but there was still a lot to see.  

There are gardens, reflecting pools, galleries, restaurants, and more spanning 5 blocks. 





We got there quite early as we had plans later in the morning, so some places were still closed, but we did get to learn a little more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while exploring the area and all the outdoor exhibits and statues.

One of the highlights was the Tabernacle, where the renowned Tabernacle Choir performs.  The day we visited they were no performances going on, unfortunately, but we could still visit inside and listen as they demonstrated the acoustics and played the organ - even dropping a pin that could be heard from the back of the hall. 

Parking is plentiful, and there are restrooms on site (the nicest restroom building I've ever seen!).
