LEGOLAND California Celebrates 20th LEGO Tree Lighting Ceremony

And the countdown begins for Christmas!

Last week, Josh Peck and starof Hallmark Channel’s ‘Countdown to Christmas’ new original movie, “Inventing the Christmas Prince, helped Santa pull the switch to light the LEGO Christmas tree during the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony officially kicking off Holidays at LEGOLAND California!

This year marks LEGOLAND’S 20th LEGO tree lighting anniversary and were thrilled to launch the season with the family!

Disclosure: Thank you LEGOLAND California for hosting us. All opinions are my own.

At the ceremony, LEGOLAND California Resort donated $10,000 on Peck’s behalf to MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach.

Hallmark Channel donated $10,000 on Mowry-Housley’s behalf to Make-A-Wish. Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital is a non-profit, pediatric and maternity teaching hospital in Long Beach that treats more than 8,000 children each year, delivers more than 5,500 babies and has become a regional pediatric destination for more than 84,000 children who need specialized care in outpatient specialty and satellite centers. Make-A-Wish is a non-profit organization that grants life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. A wish can be that spark that helps these children believe that anything is possible and gives them strength to fight harder against their illnesses. LEGOLAND and Mowry-Housley have both been longtime supporters of Make-A-Wish

We LOVE LEGOLAND this time of the year. There is just so much to do!

Your favorite holiday characters, Santa and the Toy Soldier, are back along with the Gingerbread Man! They’re ready for holiday hugs, pictures, and selfies.
Head over to Fun Town where there’s a 30-foot, fully decorated, LEGO® Christmas tree with over 400 LEGO ornaments. And as the day winds down, the tree gets a-twinklin to holiday tunes at the Holiday Light Show featuring falling “snow”.
Need more pictures? Hop on a sleigh with a life-size LEGO Santa that’s pulled by his trusted reindeer. Along with the holiday fun, food and live music, there are more than 60 rides, shows and attractions at LEGOLAND California Resort.
Check out our delightfully dazzling holiday shows, Santa approved of course, throughout the park all season long! Also, why not try some holly jolly themed food and drinks too?
Combine the two for an unforgettable holiday experience!
There is so much to do, you’ll want to spend the night at one of the two LEGOLAND Hotels located right at the main entrance.

What a joyful way to enjoy the holiday season! We enjoyed the park rides, holiday decorations, entertainment, and created amazing memories with the family. You should too! Get your tickets here.

LEGOLAND Opens Duplo Playtown

Written By: Clarissa Camacho

My adorable nephew whispered in my ear, “I’m so excited. ” Off we went to Legoland, California. Jack sang the lyrics to “Catchy song” from the LEGO movie 2, while his brother jammed out next to him in the car on our drive up. As we arrived, their little faces lit up. Almost immediately, they ran to Duplo Playground. The updated play area is bright, colorful , and the perfect place where toddlers can let their imaginations roam free.

DUPLO®Playtown includes more than ten whimsical playhouses that feature hands-on activities, slides and interactive elements that encourage kids to use their imagination and creativity while playing. Children can explore a barn, fire station, grocery store, hospital and maze complete with an interactive scarecrow.

The rides were meant for parents (or tias) to bond with their little loves, which made the experience even more memorable.

Kid Power Towers stands tall in the middle of DUPLO®Playtown – kids and parents alike can ride to the top of one of three towers to get an incredible view of the entire Park and enjoy a thrilling “free-fall” down to the bottom.

The boys and I pretended to be nurses, train conductors, gardeners, and artists. They lived in their own little worlds- and it was lovely. As I took pictures of them, I realized I would have to bring them to Legoland more often, because they offered so many toddler friendly stuff things to do! And the memories? Priceless–

The new area is a great option for families with toddlers and the perfect place to let younger children play and experience their first theme park ride on the LEGOLAND®Express Train Ride.

Your little ones will love the new and improved Duplo playground!

LEGOLAND Deep Sea Adventure Is Now Officially Open!

It’s official… LEGO City: Deep Sea Adventure is now open at LEGOLAND California!

My little boy wiggled in his seat in the car and said, “MOM are we we there yet?!” This was millionth time he had asked in five minutes on our way to LEGOLAND in Carlsbad, California. Could I blame him for his excitement? After all, he was going to be one of the first to ride LEGOLAND’S amazing new submarine ride!

Champagne bottles were bursting with streamers and the crowd of media and special guests cheered as the submarines were christened for LEGO^® City: Deep Sea Adventure submarine ride at LEGOLAND^® California Resort. The interactive features more than 2,000 sea animals including several species of sharks, rays and other tropical fish amid new LEGO^® models all themed around a ship’s sunken treasure!

Andrew loves animals, anything Legos, and has always had an extensive collection of ocean toys. Making this ride, on the very top of his bucket list as soon as we read about it. We pulled up in the Legoland parking lot. “We’re here chicken nugget!” He paused for a moment, the excitement turning into a little dance.” Before I could blink, he was already en route to the ride with his little cousin. I ran to catch up to them, Andrew of course, already in the front of the line.

Thank you LEGOLAND for inviting my family to your new Deep Sea Ride Adventures celebration. All opinions are my own.

The boys screamed when we boarded the submarines! Stingrays, sharks and jaw dropping- tropical fish surrounded the side of the pothole. My entire family was quiet, we were all in awe with the wondrous animals in front of us. Little lego teams were showcased in the tour, identifying gems pearls, gold coins and more!

Guests can reach one of three levels during each ride: Junior, Senior and Master Explorer. Let’s just say….by the end of the day, Andrew wasn’t the only one who was a Master Explorer. That’s Queen Bee Latina Master Explorer to you!

This interactive treasure hunt, was so much fun!

Andrew his little cousin were in heaven, and I too couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the beauty of the sea creatures. “Mom, I want to be a scuba diver explorer one day.” he announced with a small grin.

The Apple fries are a MUST every time we hit the theme park!

Thank you LEGOLAND for hosting our family. We had a spectacular time!

After our wonderful sea voyage at LEGOLAND, we made our way to the water park to cool off!

LEGOLAND CASTLE HOTEL OFFICIALLY OPENING APRIL 27th

Hear ye Hear ye! The countdown has begun…

Last month, LEGOLAND California officially announced that they will be opening their new CASTLE Hotel on April 27th! I took a hard hat tour to get a closer look at the new resort, and let me tell yah this place is going to be INCREDIBLE!

Thank you LEGOLAND for inviting me to get a sneak peak of the LEGOLAND Castle Hotel resort. All opinions are my own.

During the hard hat tour, we got a first look at the 250-deluxe-themed room Hotel as we walked through the Grand Hall, Dragon’s Den Restaurant, Royal Courtyard and got a sneak peek of the three room themes…

As a little girl I dreamt of majestic castles, and distant lands… And now there is a such a place. My inner child was screaming for joy as we made our way through the new hotel!

If you are looking for some “royal treatment” this resort is perfect for you and your family! It is no surprise that the new hotel is already booking up.

The themed rooms look like they are straight out of a storybook!

Knights and Dragons Room

Royal Princess Room

Magic Wizard Room

Ultimate Kid’s Quarters

This separate kids’ area will have LEGO building tables and a scavenger hunt in every room!

The rooms are grand, interactive, colorful, and fun!

Each room will also have a LEGO model to go along with the theme of the room. This LEGO Dragon was unbelievable! 2,100 LEGO models are made out of more than three million LEGO bricks that will be featured inside the rooms and throughout the Hotel.

My family loves to eat, and the dinning options at the new resort are AMAZING!

Inside Dragon’s Den restaurant, the head chef shared insight to the new dining options available at LEGOLAND California Resort’s only full-service sit down restaurant.

The Dragon’s Den restaurant will include an open kitchen for guests to watch chefs preparing their food, LEGO models, entertainers and locally-sourced food creating a unique dining experience that I know my kids will love!

A delicious breakfast will be included with each guest’s stay and includes made-to-order items along with a buffet.

We sampled the fresh delicious food and it was sooo good!

The Jester’s Bar Play Area

I love that the new hotel has several play areas and unique amenities for families and kids!

The Royal Courtyard outside was designed to immerse children in a fairy tale of their own creation with a DUPLO play area for the younger kids, larger play structures for the older kids, giant movie screen for nighttime movies, a stage for live plays and shows, a gradual incline pool and hot tub. The pool bar and grill will offer smoothies, sandwiches and salads prepared fresh to order.
