joeysmommy.....its me! (momofbuzzfan from LP) I see you are still doing your annual Sept birthday trip. We are still doing our annual after Thanksgiving trip as well! Although it still makes me a bit nervous to talk to their teachers about missing a whole week of school for DL
We added a day at Legoland on to our trip two years ago, and it was a BLAST! We tried to do it again last year, but DD got sick and we ended up staying at our Anaheim hotel for the day. To answer your question, I would say yes yes yes - you should rearrange!!! We did Legoland first, and it was such a great day. Our friends did it last after a few days at DL, plus it was a weekend so LL was busier. They didn't enjoy it nearly as much as we did. I would say go during the week...even during the middle of your trip, if not the first day. (They are closed on Tues & Wed.)
I should add that I just went to look at Legoland's calendar, and there are Halloween events on the first weekend of October. I'm not sure if that is the Sunday you are planning on going to LL (10/3), but it has the Brick-or-Treat Trail that day during normal operating hours (10-5). The night before they have a Brick-or-Treat Party from 5-9. I assume its ticketed event, like DL. But I don't know. So if you really wanted to see the Halloween stuff at LL, then maybe it would be good to be there on a weekend. But I still can't imagine being there for the last day of a trip to So. Cal. Legoland is awesome, but nothing can compare to enjoying DL at night to finish up a vacation.....
OMG! How have you been???
I'm glad to hear you're still doing your annual trip too.
Thanks so much for the tips on Legoland. I promised Joey we would be at DL on his actual BDay this year 9/29 which is a Wednesday so it throws a wrench in my Legoland plans.
It would be perfect if we could do Legoland on the Tuesday and then go to DL on Wednesday.
Yes, I was thinking possibly spend 10/3 Sunday at Legoland. But that means we would have to get up early and check out of the GCH and sit in traffic.
When it's our last day I like to have a leisurely morning at the pool then drive home.
I'm not too concerned about checking out the Halloween events at Legoland since we'll be doing all that at DL.
This is our first year doing the Mickey's Halloween party on Friday Oct 1.
Then I wanted to stay Saturday night and see WOC. I'm sure it will only be showing on weekends by then.
Check out Sunday and either drive home or go to LL.
