LEGOLAND FL

 

 

 

 

Since we have a few lego lovers in our family and we were going to be close to legoland..... we added it into our trip. All 18 of us went. The buy an adult ticket get a child ticket free deal worked out perfectly - since the youngest two were still free!! We went on Thanksgiving day to try to avoid the crowds. It worked. We hardly had to wait in lines at all. The kids adsolutely loved it - and most of the adults too. It is always amazing to see the things they build out of legos. There was an entire city section with different replicas of areas built out of legos. There was a NASA section (that should probably have a blog post all to itself :) ) There was a Vegas section.... The rides are geared towards younger kids - Jackson could go on all but one ride by himself. He liked that. It was a little rough since Caleb couldn't really go on anything - even with an adult. He didn't like that at all. His favorite part was the carousel at the end. We rode it over and over as we waited for some of the others to go on a bigger ride. Maggie was scared of some of the roller coasters but loved the other rides. Hailey loved the roller coasters but got scared on a ride that was in the dark. We had a lot of fun. Hailey has asked a few times since if we can go back. My favorite thing was the 4D Clutch Powers movie that we watched. We wore 3D glasses and then there were parts in the movie that we got sprayed with water, air blew past, it snowed......... a rock monster sneezed on us. The kids LOVED it. I wish we would have planned the day better to see the other two 4D movies!! At the end of the day I got each of our kids a mystery mini fig. That was very cool. They loved opening their package to see what they got. Hailey - guy in an alligator costume, Maggie - Navy sailor, Jackson - viking, Caleb - artist. They were so cool that Matt has put them all in a 'safe' location :) Poor kids with a lego loving dad!! Maggie also got a lifeguard mini fig from one the employees. Maggie told her how much she liked her name tag (everyone had a minifig on their nametag) and she gave it to her! Matt has also confiscated that one because it reminds him of me :) He promised Maggie he would get her another one. In fact she will get three lego girls in her stocking.
