Lego Land, Part 3 + summary of visit






 If I remember correctly the park closes at different times throughout the week. 

On the day that we were there it closed early... before dark. 

After the last ride closed we had a little time to get pics by few exhibits.

Lego Land, Part 1










We went to Lego Land the last day of our trip (Friday). 


The employee who took our pic told us to hold out our arms for some 


reason so that's what some of the kids are kind of doing haha. 





Lego Land was pretty quiet and not very busy that day so it was a 


nice change of pace from Disney. 

















The girls at the entrance with their park maps. J made us laugh when she grabbed a Spanish map for S because S is only learning to read in Spanish (not any English) in dual immersion kindergarten. Pretty sure she still can't read a whole map in any language though haha! 















We rode the double decker Grand Carousel right after we got there. The older kids, L and I rode on the top level while my husband and S rode on the lower level. We were so proud of S for riding on her own horse this time since she was scared to at Magic Kingdom. 






















These two rode a rollercoaster after the carousel. I can't remember 

the name of this ride or what part of the park it was in.  







The little girls loved the tiny sinks in the bathrooms! 







We ate sack lunches at some picnic tables then 


waited in a short line for the Pirates Cove show.







































The show was kind of cute but a little all over the place.. at least to me. 


The best part was the water stuff, of course!



I started getting a migraine (of course) during the pirate show. The older kids were both complaining of headaches too so a couple of the kids and I drove down the street to Starbucks for iced coffee for all of us! It was super easy to get in and out of Lego Land and Starbucks was just about 5 mins down the road. 






Next was Duplo Valley







Even the big kids rode the Duplo Tractor ride. 











And all the kids rode the Duplo Train 














Afterwards we went over to Lego Movie World where the kids had


their picture made with a Lego guy. 





All the kids enjoyed playing on Benny's Play Ship playground for awhile. 







Via Legoland site. 





And J and I rode Unikitty's Disco Drop, pictured above.







S and C had fun spraying the riders on Battle Of Bricksburg







Then the kids and I got sprayed when we rode it! It was a lot of fun though! Afterwards we paid like $3 to dry off in a little drying room. It was kind of chilly with wet clothes

 so I'm glad they offered it! 






Over in Lego Kingdom we all loved Merlin's Challenge ride! C rode it once or twice 

then our whole family rode it.






















The kids' expressions here are so funny! 







 All the kids rode Royal Joust 






I was really nervous to let L ride this by herself but she insisted she would be fine 

and she did great! Lego Land was a much better pace for her and not nearly as overwhelming as Disney. 






















 All four kids really enjoyed The Forestmen's Hideout playground.


We stopped, rested, had snacks and charged phones over 


here and the kids played for awhile. And I think they were 


the only kids on the playground the whole time.












Part 2 coming up!! 



Read about the rest of our trip, including two days at Disney, over here.



Linking up with Funtastic Friday Link Party today.

Hollywood Studios, Part 3















 The guys making C's light sabor 









Storm Troopers in the Star Wars area 











We saw Chewbacca kind of behind the scenes 







 Love this shot of these two! 




















 More Star Wars                                  stuff. 







 Off to Toy Story Land! 







































J was so excited to ride Slinky Dog Dash but it was closed for some reason. 










Around this time L fell asleep in the stroller and my husband and 


the older 3 went off to ride Toy Story Mania. 





Something seemed a little off about L while she was napping. She made a several jerky movements that made me uneasy.. she wasn't seizing but something just seemed off so I kept a close eye on her. At some point I realized she had had an accident in her sleep and was SOAKED. I quickly hurried her off to the bathroom and cleaned her up as best I could. I had a pair of clean under things for her (in her seizure kit) but no clean clothes and she was soaked from head to toe. After I cleaned her up I put my jacket around her and set off to find some new clothes. I stopped at the first little kiosk I could find (right across from Toy Story Mania) and asked if any stores nearby sold clothes and told them what happened. They were so sweet! The girl I was talking to quickly spoke to another employee who came over to us and wrote out like a $45-$50 gift certificate to buy an outfit for L! I almost started crying. It was the sweetest thing and totally unexpected. We went to Disney on a budget and certainly hadn't planned on buying a new outfit in the park. After a difficult day this totally lifted my spirits so much and L was really excited to pick out something new! 










 Everything was so pretty at night! 































 L in her new Disney outfit! 





We had dinner back at Backlot Express. The food is good, inexpensive and a


very laidback area. When we went for dinner it was almost empty too. I had another


 migraine by then so needed more meds.. then we headed to Starbucks..











 Thankfully this migraine wasn't as bad as the one I had had earlier. J and 


I walked around to several shops together to relax a little.


















Afterwards we watched the fireworks and all the fake snow falling down! It was so pretty! I have several videos (some I'll upload to Instagram) but only this one picture. 





This rounds up our two days at Disney! 





The rest of our Florida vacation coming up soon including a day at the beach, a


day at Lego Land and a summary of what we loved, didn't love and what we'll do different for our next Disney vacation! 



Linking up to Anything Goes today
