LEGOLAND Florida Opening Day Photos and Video & “The Beginning” of the Park

Hi everyone!

This is the second in a series of photo articles I'm posting about LEGOLAND Florida. The first article covered the Grand Opening Ceremony that was held for the media, as well as showcasing the front entrance of the park. Today we are looking at the official opening day of LEGOLAND Florida! This doesn't include ride or show photos yet, I'll be adding photo articles over the next couple of weeks that include rides, attractions, restaurants and more.

There was a nice crowd gathering for opening day. Interactive characters that included a "plant" and talking bird were part of the entertainment as guests waited to be let in. The crowd level that day was brisk, but not overwhelming.

There were a number of walk-around entertainers in the crowd, many of whom performed around the park on opening day:
