Legoland, FL Resort Pros and Cons

We went to Legoland Resort and Legoland Theme Park in Florida this past week and I have a list of pros/cons.

Pros:

• The elevator plays boring elevator music while the door is open. The minute it closed a disco ball light came on and fun songs came on between levels. "Stayin' Alive", "Twist and Shout" and others. It was so fun to ride on the elevator!
• Each floor has a different theme--we stayed on the Adventure floor. 
• The boys had double bunk beds in a separate room from us. Very cool setup!
• The pool has legos that float!
• There are LEGOS everywhere! Watch where you step.
• In your room is a safe with Lego things in it. The children have to solve a rhyme/riddle to get the numbers to the safe.
• The play area in the lobby is right next to a full stocked bar.
• You get in early to theme park.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   

Cons: 

• Only one elevator worked. The other one had been down for THREE weeks. Unacceptable.
• The pool is small. The hotel has more rooms than space in the pool for the people.
• The play area is right next to a bar. What message is this sending our kids? Interesting.

You may get in early to the theme park (a whole whooping 30 minutes) but you have to wait in a line. You need to be in the line by 9 to get a good spot. The gates open at 9:30. If you had to the back of the park where all the big coasters are you will learn the back half of the park doesn't open until 10. (WHY BOTHER?) We didn't get in to the park until 9:45 and then walked to the back to discover it was closed. I was a bit ticked off to say the least.

Elevator floor!

• There are two restaurants on site. One was in the bar with much cheaper prices and options. We didn't realize this was a restaurant and for that I am sad. We went to the over priced 'Bricks' Restaurant. It is a buffet and it cost us $85 for dinner and drinks...coke products. I was floored.
