I know my 7 year old is excited about LEGOLAND®.

LEGOLAND® FLORIDA ANNOUNCES OPENING DATE
-- World’s largest LEGOLAND park will debut Saturday, October 15, 2011 –

POLK COUNTY, Fla. (May 23, 2011) – To the delight of youngsters everywhere, LEGOLAND®
Florida today revealed its official opening date: Saturday, October 15, 2011.

Inspired by America’s love affair with all things LEGO ®,the new 150-acre theme park will cater
to kids ages 2 to 12 with more than 50 “pink-knuckle” rides – from roller coasters to race cars –
as well as family focused shows and attractions.
Park officials disclosed the date, a closely guarded secret since the park broke ground last year,
to help families already planning vacations in the fall.

“I’d estimate 80 percent of the inquiries we’ve received have been about our opening date,” said
LEGOLAND Florida sales manager Todd Andrus. “Guests are all but begging to know the date,
so they can book their flights and accommodations, and purchase admission tickets.”
The park also unveiled a new online reservations program to make the vacation booking
experience even easier. Travelers can now book tickets, accommodations, airlines and rental
cars through the LEGOLAND Florida website.

“Planning a family vacation can be daunting, especially for families with very young children,”
said Andrus, a father and frequent traveler. “Packing alone is enough to overwhelm even the
most organized parents. That’s why we designed our online system to be both user-friendly and
convenient, allowing parents to book the essentials and then print out everything they’ll need
right at home.”

The other key benefit of the program, Andrus explained, is that it features 13 preferred hotels in
Central Florida that are officially endorsed by the park. Part of the “Bed & Brick” program, the
hotels are all family friendly and collectively provide a range of price points and assets to
accommodate different styles and budgets. Each of the hotels in the program will offer special
rates and ticket/room packages.

If it's anything like the one here he'll love it. My nephews go there at least once a year, and they look forward to every trip.

My son has been bugging me to take him there when we visit my parents this Christmas. He'll be happy to know it will be open.
