Christmas Bricktacular at Legoland. My Oldest Son's Perspective

Everyone knows my mom, Rose…as she’s the owner of this Blog. I’m her oldest son, Carmelo, and we took my daughter, Zoe as a complete surprise to her.  Days prior to the mini-vacation I informed my daughter that Grandma Rosey and I had a surprise for her but we wouldn’t tell her where or what it was.

Oh the agony as the week dwindled to an end, every day on the car ride home from school, in the evening, Zoe would try and guess pretty much the entire car ride each day. where it was we would be going.

Me being the dad that I am obviously played along, but made sure I got in a few laughs at the same time.  At one point Zoe went through the entire alphabet in attempts to guess the letter of what it begins with.  Well, unbeknownst to her, Daddy had other ideas.  She would say “A”… I was supposed to say yes or no.  Instead I took it upon myself to find a sentence for each letter that followed something along the lines of “Aren’t going to tell you, good luck!” “B” “Be wasting your time if you think I’m gonna tell you the surprise..” You get the gist.

Fast forward to Winter Haven, she figured it out on the car ride up, needless to say she was rather elated. Here’s my beautiful daughter, the entrance is a prime opportunity for a family photo.  Uncle Josh was the camera man. Zoe found some rather spectacular locations to pose for a quick pic.  She loved every single Lego masterpiece the park offered and we admittedly spent a good amount of time just admiring the craftsmanship.  The park is masterfully layed out and easy to navigate.  There are more attractions and locations to stop at within Legoland it definitely would take more than one day to get through the entire park.  One thing’s for sure, your pedometer is going to be hi-five worthy at the end of the day. Randomly as I was taking a picture of Zoe next to this incredibly large Christmas tree this little boy went storming through my picture.  I intentionally chose to include this photo to show you the level of pure joy this park brings to the little ones.  You won’t have to worry about them staying up too late either.  Every single time we come here by the time I get Zoe into her car seat she says, “Dad, I’m STARVING!!!” and literally by the time I can look in my rear-view and tell her we’re going to get some food she passes out. Asleep and only willing to wake up for some food before she’s carried to bed. The Lego train was fun and one of the best things about this park is the lines are not long for anything.  Within a few minutes your kids are enjoying whatever game or experience they find interesting and you are there ready for the great pic!! Can you tell I like pictures?  I used to not take many, consequence of having a mom that takes more pictures than ever… the entire family has adapted and many times we make a funny face.  Come to think of it this is probably why she takes so many pictures.  We don’t make it easy for her to get one picture with all of the kids actually smiling at the same time.. (mother interjecting here with an *ahem* 😋) Unfortunately we went in December and the Water Park was closed.  We were looking forward to playing in the waterpark, however we found an alternative.  Zoe wore her bathing suit under her dress so when we found this gem. She quickly ran in and had a blast for a good 15 minutes. Being that it’s December I’d say Legoland did a spectacular job of “lighting things up” and bringing Christmas spirit to the warm state of Florida.  Their lights at night were breathtaking and my daughter was in awe everywhere we went.

I went to Legoland’s official website to get some facts for you guys. They’re laid out below:

So what’s my analysis… Legoland is a great park to take the whole family to.  Legoland is way too big to see everything in one trip, which is great because you can have an entirely different experience the next time you go.  I would definitely recommend going to see Legoland.  I will be going many more times with my little girl.

I’m going to leave you with this. How can you argue with this joy?

The Christmas Bricktacular at Legoland is running every weekend through December. This spectaular Bricktacular is a holiday event for the kids that you won't want to miss.

Looks like you had fun at Legoland. That is one place I have yet to go despite being to Florida so many time. Thanks for your blog post.

I know the kids would love to go to LegoLand! I think it would be wonderful to experience during the holidays.

First rule in taking kids somewhere exciting: Do not tell them until the day of! But, I bet you figured that out. It sounds like Zoe had a lot of fun at LegoLand.

December 3, 2018 at 9:57 PM 
Legoland is on our travel bucket list for mid-next year. By that time, my grandson is old enough to enjoy everything the park has to offer.

December 4, 2018 at 3:24 AM 
That's a fun game you played leading up to the day. Beautiful girl and those trees lit up are everything.

December 4, 2018 at 4:54 AM 
Sure looks like she had a grand time indeed. Fun how you used each letter and made a sentence. The random photobomb boy sure looks ready for fun as he runs to the next one.

December 4, 2018 at 5:38 AM 
She is having a blast in the water, isn't she. I think we will go back over Spring break. Why Not?

December 4, 2018 at 5:57 AM 
I live 20 min away and never been. Maybe my husband and I will take my nephews for the bricktacular. They are 3 and 5!

December 4, 2018 at 6:02 AM 
I love LEGOLand, and I don't even have kids. They've done such a good job with creating a park that appeals to everyone. The things they do with LEGOs there are also incredibly impressive.

December 4, 2018 at 7:22 AM 
How fun! I’ve always wanted to go to legoland with my kids but we haven’t had a chance. Looks like so much fun! - Jeanine

December 4, 2018 at 10:24 AM 
I'd love to take my family to Legoland. It looks like such a fun park!

December 4, 2018 at 10:55 AM 
Looks like they are having a blast! Such an awesome way to enjoy the holidays!

December 4, 2018 at 11:52 AM 
Legoland is a place our great granddaughter would love to explore. She's a Lego fanatic.

Looks like fun and great memories were had by all. Legoland always astounds me on what can be built by tiny legos. Glad you had a great trip and thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays!

December 4, 2018 at 12:34 PM 
This looks like it was such a fun time. My kids love anything that has to do with Lego!

December 4, 2018 at 4:16 PM Peter Macintosh said...

That looks like so much fun. My kids would go crazy there. I may too!

I don't think you ever get too old to be taken in by LEGO creations. It is unbelievable all that can be created with them.

We went last year and the kids had a blast.

December 5, 2018 at 12:41 AM Mary Edwards said...

We’ve been to legoland dozens of times but never during the holidays. I think my kids would really like this. Thanks for sharing all the great pics

We have only been to the smaller department store Legolands. My kids would love to visit the theme park it looks like a lot of fun for the entire family.

December 5, 2018 at 2:55 PM 
I showed my dad the pictures. He is taking me and my daughters this weekend and I can't wait. Never been before.

December 5, 2018 at 5:00 PM 
I love it when you have your family guest post! I'm glad the family had a great time at Legoland, but I'll admit that I am super jealous of the swimsuit wearing in December ;)

December 6, 2018 at 11:15 PM 
How fun! We've been to the one in Kansas City. I did feel bad though - I had will call tickets, for blogging. Friends were with us, and it was sold out. We parted our ways, then met up later. A popular place, for sure!

December 7, 2018 at 5:33 PM 
We are headed there today. The kids don't know! Then we're headed to Sea World on Sunday.

December 8, 2018 at 8:01 AM 
We went last weekend & wanted to say thank you! It's so close to our house and we never even thought about it until we saw your son's blog podst. We will return again soon. In fact we are thinking of getting annual passes for presents for the family.
