LEGOLAND® Florida Announces Opening Date
World’s Largest LEGOLAND Park Will Debut Saturday, October 15, 2011
May 23, 2011 (Business Wire) — To the delight of youngsters everywhere,
LEGOLAND® Florida today revealed its official opening date: Saturday, October
15, 2011.
Inspired by America’s love affair with all things LEGO®, the new 150-acre theme
park will cater to kids ages 2 to 12 with more than 50 “pink-knuckle” rides –
from roller coasters to race cars – as well as family focused shows and
attractions.
Park officials disclosed the date, a closely guarded secret since the park broke
ground last year, to help families already planning vacations in the fall.
“I’d estimate 80 percent of the inquiries we’ve received have been about our
opening date,” said LEGOLAND Florida sales manager Todd Andrus. “Guests are all
but begging to know the date, so they can book their flights and accommodations,
and purchase admission tickets.” The park also unveiled a new online
reservations program to make the vacation booking experience even easier.
Travelers can now book tickets, accommodations, airlines and rental cars through
the LEGOLAND Florida website.
“Planning a family vacation can be daunting, especially for families with very
young children,” said Andrus, a father and frequent traveler. “Packing alone is
enough to overwhelm even the most organized parents. That’s why we designed our
online system to be both user-friendly and convenient, allowing parents to book
the essentials and then print out everything they’ll need right at home.”
The other key benefit of the program, Andrus explained, is that it features 13
preferred hotels in Central Florida that are officially endorsed by the park.
Part of the “Bed & Brick” program, the hotels are all family friendly and
collectively provide a range of price points and assets to accommodate different
styles and budgets. Each of the hotels in the program will offer special rates
and ticket/room packages.
