The Latest From LEGOLAND®: Spooktacular Fun at Brick-or-Treat 2016!

img_4868-copy

Halloween is just around the corner, and this is your last weekend to get in on all of the festivities at LEGOLAND® California!  We went last weekend, and it’s amazing how they transform LEGOLAND® into the hauntingly happiest place to be!  To really turn up the fun, come in costume, like Dominic did!

If you want to attend Brick-or-Treat, you’ll have to purchase tickets at the park because pre-book online tickets have sold out.  If you can’t make it out, my husband and I captured lots of pictures of our spooktacular night.  Cheers and Happy Halloween!

I think my bracelet matches the decor, no?

So, I had to post this picture because I failed so miserably the first time we rode NINJAGO The Ride, putting up only 3,000 points (post here)!  Now I can safely say that I redeemed myself at 129,550 points, securing the 3rd best score of the entire day!

Being a LEGOLAND® blogger affords me some cool perks, like being one of the first to find out the latest and greatest on what’s up next at LEGOLAND® California!  I attended a press conference last month along with my sister, Rholnna, as my photographer.

The Latest From LEGOLAND®: NINJAGO World & NINJAGO The Ride Now Open!

Ninjago World 5

Ninjago World 3

Today, NINJAGO World and NINJAGO The Ride are open at LEGOLAND®!  As a LEGOLAND® blogger, I’ve got some exclusive pictures of when Dominic, my sister and I attended the media preview last week, including the press preview video (you may see some familiar faces).  Before you become a master of Spinjitzu, you can hone your skills at Zane’s Temple Build, Kai’s Spinners, Cole’s Rock Climb, Jay’s Lightning Drill and present all of what you learned on NINJAGO The Ride!  NINJAGO The Ride is a 4D experience, allowing you to take direct action in the ride to determine the outcome.  Please enjoy the pictures and I hope you get out to LEGOLAND® to visit NINJAGO World and try out NINJAGO The Ride!

We definitely had a lot of fun on NINJAGO The Ride, but we didn’t quite grasp the concept (it was quite overwhelming to experience the whole 4D thing).  We figured it out in the end, and we vow to return and better our scores!

Ninjago World 12

Trying to master Kai’s Spinners, with 10 News in the background…no pressure!

Brad Perry Ninjago World

Look who else we got to see from the local news world:  Brad Perry from KUSI’s Good Morning San Diego!  We watch him and the whole crew every morning!

Ninjago World 15 Dominic with Kai at the end of our day.  Although it started off a bit wet, the sun eventually came out and we had a great time!

I’m an Official Legoland Blogger!

Legolander_logo_2016_FINAL-03

It’s always great to start off the week with some wonderful news:  I’ve just become an official Legoland blogger!  I posted the badge last week, but I thought I would share the news as a post because there will definitely be an increase of Lego and Legoland posts due to my involvement with them.  I’m pretty sure my family would agree that this is awesome news since we are avid collectors and builders of the famous interlocking brick system.  We are literally a hop, skip and a car ride away from the family theme park in Carlsbad, so stay tuned as I share all of the wonderful events and happenings at Legoland!
