LEGO NINJAGO Movie - A Must See In Theaters September 22nd #LegoNinjagoMovie

Best Time Ever! Thank You W.B. Pictures and LEGOLAND CA for Inviting us Down for the LEGO NINJAGO Movie Junket. SP

 

LEGO NINJAGO Movie is brilliantly done.

 



 

From the cast that plays each defining character to the master builder seen in us all, LEGO NINJAGO Movie is now one of our top favs ever.

 

 

Since this was my first movie junket I wanted to really express how grateful I am to have attended with my kiddos. It is not always easy to travel alone with the kids and with Autism on hand but I have to give a MAJOR HUGE shout out to those who hosted us.

 

Everything was really well done, kid friendly and I felt comfortable being with out my husband knowing the event was all about families!



Where do I begin when everything was awesome!?

 

We checked into the LEGOLAND Hotel for the first time ever.

 



 

My kids were so impressed with the interior I am sure we could have just stayed there the whole time.

 



 

But... then they saw all the NINJAGO happenings! We met up with some new friends too and introduced the kids and everyone hit it off. It was almost like they knew Lego Friends are great friends.

Ninjago World Opens May 5th at Legoland California - #NinjagoWorld

Ninjago World Opens at +legolandcalifornia on May 5th!

 Put your Ninja Skills to the Test!

Get in on the action on May 5th when Ninjago Word officially opens!

We were able to preview Ninjago World and the Ninjago Ride late last week. 

Ninjago World is right next to the first aid building when you walk in, to the right side of Legoland Park. 

The Kick off opening ceremony event was amazing! With smoke, fire, lighting, Ninja action and confetti blasting through the air, everyone was in awe!

So cool... a Sensei introduced the four main ninja the area is created around: Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane, and they each entered the Asian themed courtyard representing each of their elements: fire, lightning, earth and ice.

From the drums to the Ninja's showing off their skills, the energy was what brought it all to life. Everyone was so excited to be part of and introduce us to Ninjago World! 

Preview of LEGO® NINJAGO® World at LEGOLAND® California Resort LIVE Tomorrow With Autism Tips

LEGO® NINJAGO® World at LEGOLAND® California Resort Opens May 5th!

Follow along tomorrow as we get a preview of it all live from Legoland!

We will be live from LEGO® NINJAGO® World at LEGOLAND® California Resort tomorrow starting around 10am. 

We are super excited to be invited to the preview and press day. I heard that we will be able to see everything that Ninjago World has to offer from the specialty eats, shopping and of course the ride in 4D! 

There are so many things coming to Legoland Ca. Here are a few other hot list updates to keep an eye out for in the next year to come...

* Expansion of the Hotel - More rooms in what I hear will be a NEW BUILDING completely! (about 250 plus rooms will be added)

* More themes - with the Hotel expansion there will be a few more themes added into the mix. This will give a much more broad choice for the kids on girly, boy, or unisex themes. 

* Announcement of Season Activity Dates. Special boo treats and fireworks included. 

A helpful Disabilities Tip (we used this last visit to Legoland Ca for my son with Autism) - 

* The Disability Assistance Pass is much like Disneyland's system. Super easy, super efficient and totally helps plan out the day since you get a return time for the next ride of choice. So... get a time for a ride, see some sights like Mini Figure Land and then go on your ride at assigned time. Want to ride more? Do the same thing all day long so that you can enjoy everything in the parks with your disabled family member too!

* All day can get overwhelming for one with Disabilities. I like knowing that the First Aid office is super friendly and willing to help all situations. There is everything that you may need for bumps and bruises and also to calm down let your sensory sensitivities take a break and be a bit more on the quiet side for a moment. 

* When in doubt or need some help - Just ask. I have run into issues or situation where I have needed first aid, a little stroller help, someone to open door for me not to lose a child... the team members at Legoland CA are amazing and wiling to help with it all. 

* Break time - A few good spots for a sensory break or even just to get away from it all for a moment. 

          ** Heart Lake City Horse Stables - brush pony hair, build, make things to the horses, look in mirrors... sensory heaven. 

          ** Next to the Granny's Apple Fries stand there is a walk way and it is usually empty expect for a few kids in the stand alone big block lego play spot. Quiet and there are benches there to take a seat too. 

* Sensory Water Play - Another good way to let your little one let lose is to have them run around and play in the water area that is next to Heart Lake City. There is a splash pad area with water play hoses and water that comes up from the ground. Good way to cool off or let your over stimulated little one just get wild and wet! Separate from the Water Park that is an option too, you can add that to your daily ticket for the day as well. 

* Dietary Restrictions - Legoland CA does have a variety of healthier options, foods, snacks and juices .. .but... if your have a kiddo like mine that only eats 6 or 7 things total it can be tough anyways. I love that you can bring in your own snacks and food and for someone that needs to do that for their Autistic kid, that's amazingly great!

We can not wait to head out to Legoland CA tomorrow so please follow along as we bring the New Ninjago World LIVE to you!

Check back after and catch up on our recap and review of all the fun you will have at Legoland Ca in Ninjago World after May 5th when it opens to all!

Behind the Scene Hard Hat Tour of #NinjagoWorld - Opens May 5th!

Ninjago World Opens on May 5th! 

Get all the details NOW though since we were given a behind the scenes tour of the hard  hat construction area that will soon host the newest ride with the most cutting edge player participation technology!

PC LegolandCa

 Are you excited yet?! I was so thrilled to be able to walk the dirt and hear the details of all the ins and outs form the master builders and creators themselves. They are even more excited to bring us this new area in +legolandcalifornia that I could not stop smiling as I listened to, and then saw, their blood sweat and hard work be brought to life!

So here is what happened on our hard hat tour...

* Behind the scene tour of the ride itself on the track

* Short clip of the 4D action that each rider will face off with 

* Learned about the Triotech Technology that will make it possible to use just your hands to actually play the game with your movements!

* Will have an Asian Street food Inspired menu, It is delish and on point for the taste and flavors!

Here is some info from the press release that I want to make sure you all get to read!

Wearing a hard hat and standing on dirt as construction workers pound hammers in the background, LEGOLAND® California Resort’s General Manager Peter Ronchetti stood in front of media declaring May 5, 2016 as the opening date for LEGO® NINJAGO® World. “Years in the making, this one-acre new land features NINJAGO® The Ride which uses cutting-edge technology never used in any other theme park in North America,” said Ronchetti. He continued, “Knowing how popular NINJAGO is among our young guests, I’m excited to see them interact and engage as they train to be ninjas.”

NINJAGO The Ride enables guests to demonstrate their ninja skills by simply using their hands instead of a hand-held device. The Maestro hand gesture technology is manufactured by Triotech, the world leader in media based interactive attractions, and enables guests to throw fire balls, shock waves, ice and lightning to defeat villains. Riders collect points for their training and battle efforts throughout the ride and scores are displayed when their quest is completed. Effects such as heat, smoke and wind are incorporated throughout the adventure, giving guests the ultimate interactive 4D experience.

LEGOLAND California Resort’s Project Manager Chris Brzezicki demonstrated how the ride vehicles will glide through the ride prior to leading media along the vehicles’ route. “Every detail is designed to enhance the guest experience and immerse them into the adventure,” said Brzezicki. When referring to the theming, he stated, “The intent is to blur the line between the real physical theming and the virtual animated projection.”

Before guests board NINJAGO The Ride, they will have the opportunity to train like a ninja in four other attractions throughout NINJAGO World: Zane’s Temple Build, Kai’s Spinners, Cole’s Rock Climb and Jay’s Lightning Drill. All are designed to test guests balance, agility and speed. A new retail outlet, Wu’s Warehouse and dining option, Ninja Kitchen, featuring a special twist on Asian street food with Banh Mi sandwiches, are also new additions.

Several of the 22 new LEGO models going into NINJAGO World were also revealed today including Master Wu, ninjas Jay, Lloyd and Kai plus swords of the four elements. Other models include guardian dragons, a monastery and a 500 pound model of ninjas Nya and Zane created out of 73,600 LEGO bricks that took four Model Builders 550 hours to build. The model depicts Nya (ninja of water) hurling water at Zane (ninja of ice) who turns the water to ice in midair as part of their training.
