Hello!! Last minute trip for me and my 3 year old son to Legoland for trick or brick. We’re driving down tomorrow and doing Legoland Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately the Legoland hotel was sold out so I booked a nearby hotel 4 minutes away. Packing tonight so I haven’t had much time to research.

Hit me with all your best tips and tricks for Legoland plz!

5yo who likes rides but not roller coasters and has mild interest in legos (starting to build for 5min spurts but not obsessed).

Expecting to deal with heavy christmas crowds. Is 4 days too much spread out over legoland, sealife aquarium, and peppa pig theme park? What would an itinerary look like? I see samples for 1-2 days online and am wondering if we're going to run out of things to do. Planning on staying offsite.

My other option is disney but my impression is that crowds will be unmanageable. We've visited before and had a great time and would do a new park we haven't gone to yet. Is LL still the better option?

We were just at Legoland Florida today and my son asked a ton of people about pop badges and Mr. Gold but on was able to find 2 badges total. We went to Legoland California in the spring and found a ton, so this was very surprising to him. Is this common here? Any one have much luck with finding badges in Florida? If so, any tips to share? We still have another say to soend there so thought I’d ask! Thanks!

Hi! I was curious if we are allowed to bring in our own minifigure heads to use for ice cream (or whatever else they offer it for) if anyone knows.

We found them at target, and don't want to buy twice if we can help it. They are still inside the original packaging. Thank you for any help!

We are considering doing annual passes for a Christmas gift for the family. We only love about 2 hours away from Legoland. What would be the hotel cost (estimate) for a night at the Legoland hotels? I am having trouble finding info on the site.

We were at LL California in September, and they had apparently just switched photo companies.

That meant the photo pass experience was a bit...messy. Not being able to manage photos easily and yourself is a pain. Totally understand the transition, but from an attendee perspective it really kinda sucked. We missed out on a few of our photos because of it.

Having to go to the counter for each and every one, and with employees struggling to learn, some that we asked get added didn't. And since you couldn't just easily pull up the app anymore (not even the webpage without scanning a ride QR each time), it made it easy for more to be lost in the shuffle.

So!

Does anyone possibly know when that transition will be complete? I am hoping once it is, we will be able to add images ourselves again.

It worked so well previously, it was a bummer to have it be so clunky and awful this time.

TL;DR: Photo pass transition sucked in October. Anyone know when the transition to the new company be complete? Will it be better?

I want to go with my wife and toddler. Currently, there is a "buy a pass get the rest of this year free" deal.

Does this mean that I can buy just 1 pass for $220 and take both of them this year and again next year for 2 days each? Is there any reason not to get this single pass over other options.

My son’s mother and I want to take him trick or treating at Lego land. If we have gold passes for the 3 of us can her and I take our own cars?

Warning do not put money on a lego gift card because it won't work at any Legoland location

I’ve seen the weather reports but for locals, what is it actually like right now? Think it’s too risky or will be okay? We’ve had this planned for a few months and would be sad to cancel for my kids.

Boyf and i did the groupon mystery vacation and got Orlando (surprise surprise lol iykyk). Idk if i want to spend the money on universal but was considering doing legoland. But is it fun for just the two of us to go? I do enjoy legos but dont ride many rides and it def seems geared towards children. Would it be enjoyable enough to feel worth the money as an adult?

For those who have done Brick or Treat this year on both Saturday and Sunday, is there a big difference in crowds, lines, and energy? I can go either day so just trying to get a feel. Already went two weeks ago on a weekday so we’ve done the non-BoT Halloween stuff.

Hi all, we are staying at the Legoland Castle hotel in California for the first time and we have a 1 year old that still needs a crib or bassinet. When I requested one we were told it isn’t guaranteed. Has anyone else had problems getting one? I’m trying to decide if we need to come up with another plan just to be safe. Thanks in advance!

Hi - taking the kids for one's birthday in a few weeks for 2 days 1 night. Looking to complete the booking (found a nice deal in another post).

Any suggested extras to purchase now while booking? Usually, I just keep it minimal with these sorts of options but wanted to check if there were any concensus 'purchase now' extras.

All insight appreciated. Thanks.

I have found a bunch of info. online, but it all appears to be dated anywhere from 6 months to 4 years ago. Could anyone confirm if Legoland, Florida, is still offering Mr. Gold pop badges and/or hiding envelopes in the park? We are bringing our young boys from out of state for the first time next week, and I don’t want to tell them the wrong thing. Thank you!

In the past, when I've bought our tickets for the California locations, I've added the ten-dollar fee to be able to cancel the tickets. It wasn't an option when I went to book today. Did they get rid of this, or am I doing something wrong?

1. Legoland Windsor stamp 2) Build and take home mini fig 3) Ninjago coin.

You get the stamp at Guest services and the coin and take home and build from the Lego Store at the entrance. You'll have to ask for the coin from the cashier.

Make sure to get a stamp at the Legoland Windsor park. Every shop in the world have their own passport.

While working rides can be fun and rewarding, Legoland California has a lot of contracted companies (many of which pay comparable or better wages for less demanding/stressful work). If your goal is to work at the park and make $20 an hour (vs $17.50 an hour working rides or retail) work for VENU. Legoland ended their contract with the old photo provider Pomvom and switched to VENU. For a base, no experience needed, under 18 yrs old job this is really solid. My buddies who work VENU are clearing big paychecks due to them not even being stingy on overtime. The only reason I haven’t switched is because I have already been sucked into the Merlin side of things, I’ve been a ride operator and cross trained on many skills over 1.5+ years there. If you’re looking for a bit more upwards mobility and a more rewarding job then Merlin might be the move for you.

TLDR;
Merlin = lower pay, don’t get as bored, different things to do

VENU = higher pay, less variation in work, best for a summer/temporary job

Ok, rant over, thanks for reading, our pay is such a sore subject in the eyes of corporate.

Driving from Petaluma >

Any tips? Best places to hit up? Things to avoid?
I was trying to figure out what dates they do xmas stuff on but couldnt find anything except "select dates in november/december"

I have a 10 year old who is obsessed with legos i was hoping to make this his big xmas gift, and stay at the hotel but the reviews are mixed

We have previously done GWL, but outside that nothing like this

we are also military so i was hoping to utilize our MWR and discounts etc.

What do you think? 💭

Like the post says. I’ll be going to LEGOLAND in a few days. It’s going to be hot unfortunately. I picked days in the middle of the week as I figured it would be less full. First time for us. My kids are 9 (Soon 10) and 6. We have a 2 day pass and will be staying at the LEGOLAND hotel. Not knowing much about the park what are some things my kids need to do? Any recommendations or advice will be helpful.

I noticed that most LEGOLAND California Annual Passes can’t be used on Saturdays and Sundays in October, except for Elite.

I have a Platinum Annual Pass, and my daughter really wants to go to LEGOLAND this weekend. I was planning to take her, but then I realized my pass isn’t valid on Saturday or Sunday.

Does anyone know why there are so many blackout dates in October? Is it because of Brick-or-Treat?

If I want to take my daughter on a weekend, I basically have to either take a day off work to go on a weekday or buy a separate ticket even though I already have an Annual Pass. 😭

Buying another ticket on top of an Annual Pass feels kind of ridiculous. Is anyone else frustrated by this?
