Opening early spring 2019, THE LEGO MOVIE WORLD, created in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, will feature three family-friendly marquee attractions, inspired by the characters and themes of the worldwide blockbuster THE LEGO MOVIE and THE LEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part.

  • THE LEGO MOVIE Masters of Flight: Hop aboard Emmet’s Triple Decker Flying Couch!

Lamplight Lounge Sports Updated Sign

 

Lamplight Lounge Sports Updated Sign

Lamplight Lounge, located in Disney’s California Adventure park, is sporting a new updated sign. Pictured above on the left, is the new version. The sign now sports a solid background with other small changes. Which version do you prefer? I am partial the older version myself.

Lamplight Lounge serves California casual gastro pub-cuisine and signature cocktails. The theme is that of an old factory warehouse with brick walls and vintage architectural elements. The vibe is fun and artsy. You will find Pixar artwork scattered throughout from knickknacks, napkin sketches, and other mementos left behind by the filmmakers. Advanced reservations are highly recommended.

Pixar Pier and Lamplight Lounge are the places to be. Do you have any upcoming trips planned? If you could be anywhere at Disney now where would it be? Let me help you plan your next trip to any Disney location your heart desires.
