A few years ago I went to Legoland with my older son and some extended family, you can read my previous review here. We really enjoyed ourselves and felt like it was an anxiety free experience. Those of you who frequent "the mouse" might know what I mean when I mention anxiety. Wait times at Legoland are negligible, which adds to the positive experience. Now that he's a bit older, and taller (more rides to ride), we decided to go back. I was really excited because he had a good time back in 2015. Two years older and wiser, I figured he'd love it. He's been watching the Lego cartoons on Netflix lately and building stuff with Duplo blocks. So he had been talking about this all summer long. Every time we'd get in the car he'd ask "Are we going to Legoland?"
The day started off strong. We arrived at opening hour and saw that the priority parking was now covered under these neat solar panels. For an additional $5 fee I'll take shade/ covering for the car. On a hot day in Florida, it can be brutal to get back in to a heat box. Back in 2015, priority parking just meant being closer to the front gates. This is a nice upgrade and worth it depending on the weather situation. |
We had to purchase our tickets upon arrival due to the promotion we took part in. Something that I love about Legoland is that they always have something to keep the kids busy. While I waited in line, my husband took him over to a table with Legos to play with. I had mentioned last time that each ride has a small play area to keep kids occupied with various Lego brand products. Those were still being utilized as well. |

Rain, Rain, Go Away!
Here's the only catch. We were nowhere near the Imagination Zone. So I made my family walk through the pouring rain to get there. I knew it was going to rain for a while. We needed something to keep busy. We couldn't stand under a single awning meant for one. It was cold in there. Thankfully my mom brought an M&M blanket along and I threw that around my shoulders while I warmed and dried the little guy. My husband took our older son to play in the Zone. We spent a good hour there before riding a couple more rides while it drizzled, then we decided to just head home.
