Planning on going to Legoland for DS birthday. He will be turning 8 and his brother will be almost 5 when we go.
We are toying with options at the moment.
We can go for one day pay £100 extra (😱) for the reserve and ride passes for the day. I gather this means we won't have to queue really which would be good as my boys are v wriggly and not good at staying still.
BUT remarkably it's cheaper to go for two days and go without the reserve and ride. We have family near by to stay with. We'd be able to take our time a bit more which would be nice but the pay off would be queueing for the rides.
We are going to go mid October so not in the summer holidays, but still a weekend. Anyone have any experience of visiting around then?
The added complication is that DS is only just starting school and I can't help thinking he will be exhausted if we do two days. I think for him one day would be best as he could then fully rest on Sunday before school on Monday. He'll have only really just started as his first full week is the last week of September and he's only ever done 3 mornings at nursery before. I am DREADING how tired he's going to be anyway even without a Legoland trip. But we can't leave him behind!
So, is reserve and ride worth £100? Or are we best of with two days?
