LEGOLAND Hotel at LEGOLAND Florida ResortOpening Date & Details Announced
A super huge thank you to Jeremiah Good for attending the LEGOLAND Hotel Florida Announcement and getting these great photos for us!
Jeremiah Good writes for www.laughingplace.com as well as does the Walt Disney World side of the Window to the Magic podcast, he has been a life long fan of Disney “and a heck of a paleontologist” recently moving to Florida to be around all things that is the Mouse. He is also single has baby blue eyes and enjoys long walks on the beach….at the Polynesian Village Resort!
The five story, 152 room LEGOLAND Hotel will be opening on May 15, 2015, and Jeremiah was able to take a hard hat tour of the construction and we’ll be sharing some similar photos of how it is going to look once completed.
The LEGOLAND Hotel is really starting to take shape, and it is going to be chocked full of great details and amenities that I can’t wait to experience!
And what would a LEGOLAND Hotel be without the LEGO? More than 2,000 LEGO models in the entire Hotel created out of more than two million LEGO bricks! These LEGO models will be found all over the Hotel!
So let’s take a look at just the beginning of what the LEGOLAND Hotel at LEGOLAND Florida Resort will be offering!

The reception desk in the lobby willfeature an entire wall created out of more than 5,000 LEGO Minifigures. I know that Zoe is going to go bananas over this, since we love Minifigure Trading at the LEGOLAND Florida Resort!
The lobby is going to be home to the Castle Play area, which is based on the LEGO Kingdom and Pirates line, that is filled with elements of adventure!
Inside the Castle Play area there is a pirate ship complete with a blimp, docked along a moat filled with LEGO which surrounds an interactive castle. As they enter the castle, young guests can pull on a handle to disturb the LEGO ogre above them.
Guests of the LEGOLAND Hotel will be able to travel to the different floors via Disco Elevator. Yes…Disco Elevator!
As guests enter the elevator, lights pulsate in the ceiling to music, the floor will be made of ‘lava’ tiles, and as a mirror ball rotates different sound effects announce arrival on each floor. I never knew that I needed to ride in an elevator like this, but I DO!

Christmas spirit was glowing in the faces of children Saturday night as LEGOLAND Florida Resort hosted 40 Make-A-Wish families to kick off Christmas Bricktacular presented by Shutterfly®, with a Tree Lighting Ceremony in a colorful celebration full of music, lights and snow!
Merlin’s Magic Wand provided tickets for nearly 200 Make-A-Wish guests to enjoy the theme park and be special VIP guests at the ceremony.
