LEGOLAND Florida for a Vegetarian

Just got back from Florida with my toddler and thought I'd recount every place us vegetarians ate there in the 3 days that we visited while my husband worked there. We did not go hungry and we were able to eat pretty healthy while we were there. I also brought along lots of organic fruit and veggie pouches to make sure the little guy had healthy snacks.

Here is every place that has Vegetarian offerings at LEGOLAND Florida:
The Market Restaurant has a lot of vegetarian offerings for the entire family.
Pizza & Pasta Buffet has a salad bar, cheese and veggie pizzas and vegetarian pasta.

Salad bar at Pizza & Pasta

I-Zone Panini - has a mozzeralla, tomato, basil and balsamic panini and you don't have to buy the meal (ask and they will give you the price without the chips and drink)
Granny's Apple Fries - A treat that is unique to LEGOLAND parks in the US.
Sunny's Ice Cream Shop - Cones and scoops
Fun Town Slushies
Waffle Spears - a delicious sweet treat
Lakeside Sandwich Company - Pre-packaged salads, Smuckers Un-Crustables, Fruit cups and apple bags, Hummus and Mediterranean Salad wrap

My niece is 8 years old and loves LEGO Friends. This is the perfect set for a little girl who is creative and intelligent. It is so much fun to build and customize your own dollhouse. You can check out all my ideas for building your own LEGO Dollhouse.

LEGOLAND Florida with a Toddler

I just got back from LEGOLAND Florida. My husband had to work, there, so my 15 month old son and I spent 3 days exploring and playing together there. I was part of the original crew that created and installed all the LEGO models and Miniland and worked at the LEGOLAND construction site the year I was pregnant with my son. It was fun to go back and enjoy it together while he is actually walking!

After spending 3 days at LEGOLAND Florida, we found everything that a toddler could do, there, and we did it, twice. We didn't do the water park in this trip, so we will review that separately later on.

Here is my list of rides, play areas, attractions and shows for toddlers at LEGOLAND:

The Beginning:

The Island in the Sky - See the whole park with the whole family on this ride as there are no height restrictions (unless you are afraid of heights!)

* Hit the The Market Restaurant first thing in the morning for fruit and coffee.

Fun Town:

The Grand Carousel

4D Theatre - Toddlers who will wear 3D glasses will enjoy. A little scary but my 1 year old loved it!

Fresh From Florida Greenhouse - Take a little stroller stroll through here.

DUPLO Village:

Granny's Jalopies - Adorable old-fashioned carnival car ride

Big Rig Rally - Same as Jalopies but with trucks to ride instead of Jalopies

Duplo Farm - Covered play areas with slides and DUPLO bricks. Too bad they don't enclose this and use air-conditioning :)

Duplo Playtown - Non-covered play area for little ones.

Duplo Farm and Duplo Playtown

Land of Adventure:

Pharoah's Revenge - supposed to be ok for a 2 year old, according to the sign, but if the big kids take it over, it is not. 

The Lost Kingdom Adventure - 30" Height restriction to ride with an adult. A little scary! Buy your toddler's first ride photo, here. I got the magnet and it is SO cute!

Safari Trek - 34" height restriction. See LEGO safari animals from a little jeep that seats 2.

Shorties can get on this ride! Only 30" tall can ride Lost Kingdom Adventure.

Make sure to buy your baby's first ride photo here, too!

Auntie designed this!

Miniland USA:

Miniland - Toddlers will love the cars and boats moving in this area which can be enjoyed in or out of the stroller. You can take almost an hour here with a toddler!

LEGO City:

Boating School - 34" height restriction. Outdoor boat ride in 2 person boat.

Big Test - Live show (outdoors/covered)

Talk to the LEGO Minifigs in LEGO City (because you need to be a little bigger to do anything else, here)

Pirate's Cove:

Live Pirate Ski Show - My toddler is nuts about this show! It is so much fun to watch the waterskiers and the life-sized minifigs captured my 1 year old's attention. He love the music and effects, too. You will get splashed if you sit up front and the little ones may not like the pyrotechnics that close (a couple of fireworks in the show), but we loved it so much we watched it twice!

Make sure to take your toddler's picture in the treasure chest that is up the hill a bit from the Ski Show!

Cypress Gardens:

The gardens a beautiful place to enjoy in a stroller or on foot with a toddler.

Toddlers can totally enjoy LEGOLAND Florida. We can't wait to go back!

How Fun! I am a big fan of LEGO Friends. They are so hot, right now. My little niece loves them, too!

Heading Out to LEGOLAND Florida with the Fam

We are taking a flight to LEGOLAND Florida, this morning with our 1 year old. We seriously cannot wait to take a peek at the construction site where they are building the new land. This is one of the projects that my husband is working on and they just released this video.

I'm a little nervous about taking an active toddler on a cross-country flight, but I'm not worried at all about him enjoying all that LEGOLAND and Disney World has to offer. It is going to be so cool to finally take him to the park my husband and I helped build, when I was pregnant with the little guy. The "huge" 2T grand opening tee I bought him in October 2011 finally fits him and we have plenty of time to explore together, while my husband gets his meetings and work done out there.

I'm going to try to stop having a panic attack and get moving. So much to do still and we leave in a few hours!!! Hopefully I will get some good posts up while we are on our trip!
