First off...all the videos are saying private to me, but it might be the browser I am using?
Claire is
lego obsessed too right now. We bought some at DTD and all she wanted to do fro m hat point on is play with them and I had to threaten taking them away a few times. She has asked about going to Legoland in Florida now too...and I have no clue how she even knows about it.
It really looks amazing there though Great theming. It's so amazing what people can build with legos...or look like legos.
Oops! I fixed them! Thanks for the heads up! I uploaded from Mac's iMovie and it automatically makes them private.
It is definitely worth a day trip! There are BOGO tickets for FL now too, so it makes for a pretty low priced getaway. I love that they have girl Legos now too!
Yup, the videos say they are private for me too.
What a cute park! I can see how Lego lovers would totally be in delight. Kadence goes in streaks playing with hers. She is most happy when her Daddy plays with, and then weird things are made
That's so funny! Joe and Henry play almost everyday and there is always some sort of giant tower or car built. I think they are working on a ship now. Who knows. It's my DIS time.
Yup, me too! No videos. boo!
But seeing Henry in an assortment of lego vehicles is just precious. He must have had a field day. I have never seen pictures of lego land, so thank you for such a great tour. It really looks like a cool place and so uncrowded.
I fixed them! My fault! I forgot that silly iMovie makes the private.
He LOVED Legoland. He was in his "happy place" all day long. It was really sweet to surprise him with it.
Wow it does seem empty! I love that he was the fire chief, and won! I'm sad we never made it when the boys would have been into it.
It really was pretty dead - even though it was a weekend. Gotta love the off season!
Says private for me, too! Loved the pics! Brought me back to times with my lads. I took two of them to Legoland Windsor in '02. Fortunately I had a book to read while they waited in line for the driving school!
I was fortunate that my SIL worked for Lego when they were young. I would give her my list and she would purchase them with her company discount. We have large bins in the basement and attic from all the sets. I guess it was good training as the oldest is a mechanical engineer and the youngest is studying to become one!
I fixed them now...just forgot to change the settings with silly iMovie.
I bet that line for Driving School gets LONG! I'm glad we got it done with right away, it's set up just like the Tomorrowland Speedway and that line can be brutal, so I figured this would be the same.
Wow! That's so great about your SIL getting the Legos at a discount! But it would be seriously dangerous for this household.
And very cool that your kids are working to become mechanical engineers!! I always wonder if Henry will do something like that because he truly LOVES to build and is pretty good at it for a 5 year old.
Great update! Love seeing the beach photos...looks like heaven!
We have been to Legoland twice - DS LOVES Legoland!! He wants to go again this summer! We did the water park last time too .... which was very small.
The drive from Anaheim is nice and very easy, isnt it! We always stop for breakfast in Laguna Niguel at Mollie's and then have dinner in Carlsbad at Las Olas. Last time, we stopped at Farrel's Ice Cream parlor in Missn Viejo on the way back to Anaheim after dinner. Yum!
Henry wants to go again too! Hmmm...our plans are in flux right now - looks like February isn't happening, but maybe July. A day trip to Legoland FL might just work. Hmmm...thinking out loud here.
Yes! The drive was EASY. I was nervous about the traffic, but there was none! I'll have to keep the places you mentioned in mind for our future trips. Without my picture program open I cannot recall where we ate...probably Downtown Disney.
Legoland looks like fun!
My nephews would have asked to buy legos just like Henry. It's so tempting not to!
Oh, we didn't get out of there without Legos. But we DID make him wait until the end. It was easier to say "at the end, before we go" than to tell him "No, we aren't leaving yet." and lug the box(es) around. I have a great shot of him when we finally told him it was time to BUY.
Love the video surprising Henry. Shawn loves his Lego's too.
Isn't that cute? He was SO excited. It was fun! Legos are great toys - expensive, but so creative and they last FOREVER. Many of ours were actually my brothers and they are in perfect shape!
Awesome!! Thanks. I'll be sure to check in with you as we get more details closer to the trip.
Loved the photos of LegoLand. It has grown and added so much since our trip there in 2007. But I do have to agree with your review. I was glad we went when DS was 7 and DD was 9. I was already thinking even then that they would not enjoy it much past that age/size. I was there with a broken ankle in a boot that year. Spent my entire day sitting in a wheelchair as there just wasn't much for big folks to do/ride.
Oh no, that's awful about being in a wheelchair! Then you can do even less!
It was a fun day, but ya, not much to do for adults really except watch their kids have fun--which is wonderful, but Disney has the "family entertainment" down like no one else!
I am so shocked by how few people there seem to be in Legoland!!! Looks like a fun time ... but sadly, my boys are well beyond the age that would be interested in this park.
Even on a weekend, it was quiet overall! We do see some crowds later, but really not much for the entire day.
So exciting for Henry! I loved leggos when I was little. My grandma had a big box of them, when she went into the Alzheimer's home we had a 20 y/o, 17 y/o and 14 y/o fighting over who go the leggo box lol. I have always thought about going to Leggo Land when I was in LA, but now that I am reading this report I will be skipping it until I have a Leggo enthused child!
that's so funny about the arguing over the Legos! It's true though, they never get old! Joe loves them almost as much as Henry!
I think it's a smart move to skip it for now. There really isn't much to do for adults/older children - yes, you can go on the rides, but they are VERY kid focused, not like Disney's that tell a story or entertain all ages. Even from the bit you've seen it gives you an idea. We rode almost everything in the park. The few other "thrills" are a kid friendly roller coaster (ala Barnstormer/Gadgets Go Coaster), and a couple water rides that are also child friendly. Not worth the admission price unless you are with a little one!
) But we are talking about doing it again this year just because he loves 
your pictures from the parade. They are really gorgeous. Glad you had such a great time and such a wonderful viewing area. It looks like a ton of fun!
