LEGOLAND / California / 216

Need a map of LL, CA —Suzanne D. Rich

I'm considering a wedding inside LL, but I've never been there myself. I'd like to get some feel for the space--particularly around Miniland and the entrance area buildings. If there's anyone here who could send me a map of the LEGOLAND park in (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.people)

Re: Need a map of LL, CA —Todd Lehman

(...) whoa, whoa, time out... I hope to see you there, but keep in mind that this is a wedding, *not* a LEGO event. That means there aren't going to be MOCs and K-8's everywhere, tables and time set aside for demoing LDraw, and that sort of thing. (...)

Re: Need a map of LL, CA —Suzanne D. Rich

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. But I think we can straighten it out. (...) All of us in this forum have LEGO in common, that's for sure. But that alone couldn't make us friends. And Todd and I aren't getting married because of LEGO. (...) (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.people)

Re: Need a map of LL, CA —Todd Lehman

(...) Bingo. Yes. Thank you. (...) Exactly. That would be awesome. By "organized events riding coattail" I meant organized formal "events" as opposed to an organized informal "get-together" of a virtually random group of AFOLs, if that makes any (...) (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.people)

Re: Need a map of LL, CA —John Neal

Suz- I don't have a map, but I know of a place in the park where a small wedding would be perfect-- the area where the GMLTC and ldraw displayed at the Kidvention. It is off the beaten track, and has the best view of the park anywhere in it. I wish (...) (24 years ago, 26-Feb-01, to lugnet.legoland.california, lugnet.people)

Re: Need a map of LL, CA —Suzanne D. Rich
