Legoland?

Any Legoland advice? My 7 year old with Autism has become Legoland obsessed and I want him to have a great visit. Any advice about finding discounts, what to skip, must do, etc.?

We definitely enjoyed our day at Legoland. If you receive the Lego Club magazine, there's usually a coupon in there. Or you can google for coupons. It's usually buy an adult ticket kid gets in free.

We spent a lot of time checking out the miniland displays. We loved all the rides especially the wooden coaster! Kids were underwhelmed by the Chima 4D movie.

We went to the talk with the master builder, was a Q&A type thing, but really cool. They liked the build a car & race it area, but it was seriously crowded.

We did the drive a car thing and it threw my son (8 with ASD) for a loop. Cuz it's the kid only in the car and he doesn't know how to drive. He kept getting stuck and didn't know what to do. He'd have to raise his hand and wait for a worker to come over and get him off the curb. But he'd just get stuck again. So that was a little stressful.

Other than that it was a fun day!

If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to answer.

I'm in the same boat. Taking my 5 yr old in Nov. b/c it is all he talks about. Seems hard to find too much info. on- no crowd calendars

I know if you go to their website and book a recommended room you can get kids free with adult purchase tickets. I haven't done it but also heard you can get the same tickets if you register your email on the Lego website.

Thanks! Definitely worth a shot to try to register my email. Gotta admit I'm not looking forward to it other than seeing how excited my kiddo is going to be!

We went to LEGOLAND in November and had a great time! As a PP stated, look for a BOGO free coupon in the Lego Club magazine. I had two coupons, so my boys were free and I only had to pay for DH and myself. Definitely do not pay full price. There are coupons out there. Have a great time! I'm sure your son will love it (and you may, too!).

We took our Lego obsessed boys (9 and 7) to Lego Land in August and they had an awesome time. It was their favorite park that we visited in Orlando (and we visited MK/SW/US/IoA). They were tall enough to ride all of the rides/coasters.

Lego Land has 4 roller coasters, a ride where you shoot a laser (like the Buzz one in MK only Lego themed) and a few other smaller rides (more than I thought there would be actually). The detail in Miniland is amazing. The boys liked the one 3D movie that we had time to watch (and it was in ac which in August was a huge plus) out of the 3 that they show. The boys liked the Hero Factory and cars building area (I forget the name) along with the area that had Lego video games. Actually they liked everything there and wanted to go back a second day. We did not go to the water park part of Lego Land.

Another plus is that most of the rides have an area to play with Legos while parents wait in line. When you get to the front of the line your children just join you.

A negative is that a lot of the park is outside - which means that it's hot and if/when it rains there isn't a lot to do or many places to get cover. Since there aren't many things to do in the rain, those places quickly get crowded. Fortunately it didn't rain for long while we were there.

We were surprised by how much there was to do there. We were there at park open until park close and still didn't get to finish everything. We had planned to be out of there in time to eat dinner out of the park, but there was too much to do that the boys didn't want to leave.

You can currently get a buy an adult get a child free deal, using a certain link and a code. I found it on a legoland coupon/ discount thread here a week ago and it worked great. Print the tickets at home and voila!

We went to legoland on Monday for first time. It was great. Rode 30 rides, some duplicates. Chima seven times. Totally soaked. All rides were a walk on literally.
We got all our tickets free when we bought the 14 day universal tickets which was a fantastic deal but in UK so not sure if something similar in US. tickets were 14 day unlimited but only had chance to use them once. Will definitely go back next year.
Have fun
