![]() When Teddy said he wanted to go to Legoland, I didn't know where to begin. I had never been. Disney vacations I could plan in my sleep, but Legoland was an entirely different ball game. Here's where I started when planning: 1. Vacation Packages We knew we wanted to stay at the Legoland hotel. Teddy had seen it on a YouTube video and was basically the driving factor for wanting to visit Legoland. What child doesn't want to stay in a life-sized castle? The downside is that I don't know this was the best deal. It was REALLY hard for me to figure out if I was booking the most economical package for what I wanted. A co-worker told me that I should look at annual passes because sometime you can get a better deal there. That sounded like too much commitment for me. Another friend told me that the neighborhood hotels were nicer than the Legoland hotel. After staying at the Legoland hotel, I bet that's true. However, it's a trade off because my kids LOVED the hotel even if it wasn't the five-star accommodations I would have liked. Legoland does a nice job advertising their hotel/park packages. A la carte pricing was just too much for me to figure out on their website. We ended up booking the vacation package with the current promo they had - 2 day park hoppers for the price of 1 - but I like to know when I am getting a good deal and I couldn't figure out the savings here. I give the Legoland website minimal stars for a review. 2. What to Pack I really liked that Legoland let us bring in snacks and drinks. Apparently they even let you bring a small cooler in for kids. This wasn't a huge deal with the kids being bigger, but this would have been a big selling point when they were smaller and on certain types of milk. They also didn't seem to limit the stroller size. One day, I even forgot the baby wipes in the hotel room and we were able to get some at their baby station. As a parent, I appreciated their leniency in letting us bring in snacks and drinks. We still bought our fair share of items. I also packed the stroller with the same tips I used for Disneyland and they proved just as effective at Legoland. Check out those tips here. 3. Why Legoland? Listen, everyone that I talked to loved Legoland. The best advice that I read though was don't take kids under 4. I'd almost agree with that. Cal is a small two year old and he could ride about 2 rides and then just get upset that he couldn't ride anything else. Teddy could ride almost everything and loved it. I think kids probably up to 8 would be happy riding the bigger rides there. Pro's:

More to come - but this will help at least plan the initial stages of visiting Legoland!
