We are visiting in Jan. 2012 for 3 nights - arriving in Orlando at 2:30 pm on the first day. Our plans are to spend one full day at Legoland (son's dream!) and then one full day at Universal.
I'm trying to decide if we should drive and stay in Winter Haven that first evening (reservation already made at Best Western) to be ready for Legoland the next day OR just add a night to our Hard Rock Hotel reservation (staying there the next 2 nights) and just driving to Winter Haven for the day.
I am mostly concerned that we will get to Winter Haven and have nothing to do between roughly 5 pm on...!! We definitely are not just hang out in the room kind of people...!! But I also know that we won't be out past 10 pm.. due to a busy park day planned and the ages of our children (8, 9).
Any thoughts? Hopefully someone can tell about what there is to do around Winter Haven - I can't find anything when I google it! Can we get into the Lego Store at the park without entry?
