BY GABRIELLE

Legoland Florida Resort is to officially reopen on June 1. The resort is implementing a raft of enhanced health and safety measures, including reduced capacity, cashless payments, social distancing practices and enhanced cleaning regimes.

The health and safety measures comply with government advice and the requirements of health authorities, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Rex Jackson, general manager at Legoland Florida Resort, commented on the site’s imminent reopening:  “As part of Merlin Entertainments, our leaders across the globe have been sharing best practices daily, and we’ve been able to apply what we’ve learned from other successful Merlin attraction reopenings to be confident with our Resort’s reopening plan. In addition, we have also sought guidance from our partners at AdventHealth.

“We’re ready to play, and we look forward to reopening Legoland Florida Resort as a safe and memorable place for families to play again,” Jackson continued.

Prior to visiting Legoland Florida, guests are encouraged to download the Legoland mobile app, and review the website to become acquainted with the parks’ new arrival and attractions procedures. Cash is no longer accepted at the resort and guests should be prepared to make payments by debit or credit card.

Legoland Florida Resort has announced a spirited line-up of Halloween and Christmas events, kicking off with Brick or Treat.

This child-friendly Halloween event will feature brand-new themed entertainment, ghoulish treats and plenty of candy for young guests to enjoy.

Visitors to the Brick or Treat event can go trick or treating along a Lego trail, lined with playful scary character interactions.

Lego scarecrow will be present inside the Duplo Valley. Coca-Cola fans will be able to enjoy sipping on their favourite drink in style with an event-themed Coca-Cola cup, accompanied by Pumpkin flavoured ice-cream, Granny’s apples Fries and other Halloween-inspired treats.

Another key feature of Brick or Treat will be the tale of Captain Dreadbeard’s adventure to defeat the Imperial Navy during a flamboyant firework display.

To mark the opening of the Pirate Island Hotel in spring 2020, children from ages 2 – 12 who attend the first weekend of Brick or Treat dressed as pirates, will receive a complimentary ticket to visit the theme park before the end of year.

On October 12, the Brick Dash 5k will take place, with participants encouraged to dress in fancy Halloween costumes to raise money for Merlin’s Magic Wand, aimed at helping children who are facing challenges due to serious illness, disability or adversity.

From November 29 to December 31, the Holidays Presented by Hallmark Channel event will be held at the resort, featuring a combination of seasonal shows, treats and sparkling lights.

Guests can dance, sing-along and enjoy two interactive shows, visit Santa’s workshop with his elves in a family-friendly musical during Holly Jolly Jubilee.

A 30-foot-tall Lego Christmas tree, a Lego Santa and a Toy Soldier, alongside giant holiday-themed Lego builds, promise to add to the merriment.
