5 things to know about Legoland’s New Year’s Eve festivities

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — Holidays are stronger than ever at Legoland Florida Resort, with festivities continuing through New Year’s Eve.

1. Legoland is orchestrating a special “brick drop” moments before the fireworks show on Dec. 31, 2023. That means your kids can do a kid-friendly countdown â€” at 8 p.m. instead of midnight — to ring in 2024.

2. The fireworks take place over lake Eloise, and have a special component involving some cool shades.

3. “When they put them on,” spokesman Banks Lee said, “[the kids] are able to see the fireworks burst into LEGO brick right before their eyes, unlike anything you’ve ever seen.”

4. Brand new this year is VIP Seating for the fireworks. For $20 bucks ($25 at the park), you get special stadium seating, gourmet popcorn, and bottled water.

5. Meanwhile, during the daytime, all of the holiday happenings are still in full swing. That includes a visit to the Holiday Village Postal Service to send your letters to LEGO Santa. Expect dancing around the park’s giant LEGO tree, special stage shows, and lots of selfies.
