Last week my wife suggested that I cash in some frequent flyer miles
(certainly have plenty of them) and take our son (just he and I) to LEGOLand
for his birthday.  After my initial surprise wore off, I agreed that this
would be a great idea.

His birthday is January, historically one of my worst travel months of the
year.  My plan is to buy a couple of tickets from Shop @ Home and give them
to him on his birthday.  We will actually travel to Carlsbad sometime in the
spring, possibly early March time frame.  So, a couple of questions:

1)  Which airport is closer (time wise, not distance), San Diego or Orange
County.  I have been to both and my sister used to live in Carlsbad so I am
guessing Orange County since that is where I flew in and out of when I
visited her.

2)  I am planning on going mid-week to avoid crowds.  Are there still
crowds?  When is spring break for school kids in Southern California?  I
don't want to go that week!

3)  I read that you can visit a second day for $4 if you purchase it before
leaving.  Is this still valid?

4)  Is there a particular hotel people recommend?  One that is child
friendly would be ideal.

5)  How far from LEGOLand is the San Diego Zoo?

Thanks,

Late January/Early February. With the exception of the first two weeks of December, that period is the emptiest for theme parks. (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.legoland.california)

(...) san diego is somewhat closer, but the difference isn't too much. It will probably be easier to get flights into san diego, though, since it's bigger. (it's also usually cheaper, but if you have frequent flyer miles I guess that doesn't matter) (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.legoland.california)

Comments inlined below. (...) <snip> (...) San Diego is closer. It is about one hour south of Anaheim, and it is roughly half an hour north of San Diego (when traffic is moving). (...) I don't know when spring break is, but we went midweek and I was (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.legoland.california)
