Casey’s Corner Hot Dog of the Month – Teriyaki Hot Diggity Dog!

Casey's Corner Hot Dog of the Month - Teriyaki Hot Diggity Dog!

Casey’s Corner has released its hot dog of the month- Teriyaki Hot Diggity Dog! It’s an all-beef hot dog topped with roasted pineapple and onions, teriyaki drizzle, and green onion served with french fries.

Casey's Corner Hot Dog of the Month - Teriyaki Hot Diggity Dog!

We were able to try the hot dog and here is what we thought of it: The sweetness of the pineapple offsets the saltiness of the teriyaki. Onions are not roasted but almost raw. The flavors complimented each other well!

This incredibly moving and heartfelt family film heads to Digital January 30 and 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (plus Blu-ray and Digital), Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital), DVD, and On Demand February 13 from Lionsgate.

The film stars Academy Award® winner Julia Roberts, Academy Award® nominee Owen Wilson, Golden Globe® nominee Mandy Patinkin, and Jacob Tremblay.

“Wonder” follows the inspiring story of the Pullman family, whose youngest child, Auggie, is a boy born with facial differences.

Palacio. The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray also features Dolby Vision high dynamic range (HDR), growing Lionsgate’s library of titles featuring both Dolby Vision and Dolby TrueHD. Dolby Vision transforms the TV experience in the home by delivering greater brightness and contrast, as well as a fuller palette of rich colors. The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray versions feature Dolby TrueHD, which provides the most authentic lossless audio experience available for the home theater. Together Dolby Vision and Dolby TrueHD allow consumers to experience both cutting-edge imaging and lossless audio sound technology for an immersive entertainment experience.

Timed to the book’s sixth anniversary, and to Valentine’s Day, Wonder will be available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD for the suggested retail price of $42.99, $39.99, and $29.95, respectively.

LEGOLAND Beach Retreat

Show business legends are invited to visit LEGOLAND® Beach Retreat, where summer vacation lasts all year long, as part of the glitz and glamour of the 75th Annual Golden Globe® Awards, presented yesterday evening from Beverly Hills, Calif., by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Celebrating the 75th Annual Golden Globe® Award nominees, Secret Room Events and Orlando, Florida-based So Fruitty have partnered to offer a complimentary stay at LEGOLAND Florida Resort’s all-new accommodations at the place #BuiltForKids.

The fun begins almost immediately, thanks to a drive-through check-in process that will take you from your car to your cove in minutes.

Designed to look like larger-than-life LEGO sets, 83 bungalows offer 166 separate rooms that sleep up to five, including a cozy area just for kids with a bunk bed, trundle bed and privacy curtain. Each cove has its own outdoor play area within view of the bungalows’ shaded patios, where mom and dad can relax while kids romp and run.

Along with picturesque lake views and a giant LEGO lighthouse featuring a real rotating beacon,
amenities include:

  • A heated swimming pool available year-round, with an adjacent sandy area perfect for building sandcastles and the resort’s biggest outdoor play structure for kids.
  • Sandy’s Castle Restaurant, featuring a bountiful menu of entrees, sides, and desserts designed to please the palates of kids and grownups alike. A delicious breakfast buffet is included with each night’s stay.
  • Bricks Beach Bar, offering an eclectic menu of made-to-order food, drinks, and creative cocktails served both poolside and indoors.
  • Palm Tree Traders, a large retail shop stocked with LEGO building sets and minifigures, apparel, toys, swimwear, snacks, and sundries.
  • A hands-on LEGO building station where kids can contribute their original creations to a giant sandcastle made out of thousands of LEGO bricks.
  • Free Wi-Fi throughout the site.
  • Complimentary transportation to the theme park entrance, as well as complimentary parking in LEGOLAND Florida Resort’s main parking lot for guests who choose to drive.

On Jan. 5, Secret Room Events hosted its annual, invitation-only In Honor of the 2018 Golden Globe Awards Style Lounge in Beverly Hills, a lavish event that featured sponsors such as So Fruitty, whose delicious and healthy frozen treats are available at the popular Florida vacation destination.

LEGOLAND Florida Resort features an interactive, 150-acre theme park with more than 50 rides, shows and attractions inspired by popular LEGO brands and characters, plus LEGOLAND Water Park, LEGOLAND Hotel, and LEGOLAND Beach Retreat.
