Largely because I can’t find it & I can’t be bothered to tear the house up looking for it at the moment.

The issue is DC1 is 3 next month & tall for his age, like 99 per centile tall. I’m 5ft 10 & DH is 6ft 4 so it’s to be expected but will we be stopped & have to pay adult fare?

We went last month a few days before my giant two year old turned three. They didn't bat an eye when I said he was two and just told him to go through.

A buggy is a good idea for Legoland anyway as you can stuff everything in it. Take all your own food and drink it costs a fortune there! No shelter either so wear warm layers. Enjoy!!

Thanks all, I will have a look for ID tmw with fresh eyes. If no luck we will chance it & if we end up paying so be it as it’s not cost us anything yet anyway.

Pants, just checked the deal we had and it's sold out. Have you decided when you're going? If not, hold out for one of the deals. We had entry for 2 days and a night in a hotel nearby with kids eat free as well, so a bargain.

It was fantastic, you'll love it. We didn't bother with a Q pass thing and still did everything we and the DC wanted. It's so massive and well laid out nowhere was that busy. A couple of rides were closed as it was drizzly or for maintenance but that was fair enough.

We took our own food for the first day, everyone we saw seemed to have. Rucksack with sandwiches and snacks etc then bought hot drinks there. Ate in the pizza/pasta place the day after which was reasonable and easy.

Tbh I was half dreading it as I don't like crowds or theme parks, or Lego particularly actually, but the way they've done it is pretty magical and we had a really brilliant couple of days. We'd have done plenty in a single day but the DC wanted to do a couple of things twice!

Enjoy Smile

Years ago I put my 4 year old in a pushchair and told him not to talk.

Prepared to be flamed for this but I don't care. Took ds to the zoo the other day and put him in the pram he is four and I got him in free as being under 3. And he's big for his age. They didn't even look at him.

You people. Colluding on how to defraud these innocent corporations like Disney and Tussaud’s.

We were queried on DDs age by a staff member at Disneyland Paris, she was a week short of her 3rd birthday and DS2 was a week short of his 1st birthday. DS1 I paid full price entry for but I went in free as he was in receipt of DLA. We had paid at the desk for day tickets but we were stopped and questioned at the turnstiles. I had the passports on me. I think they must have been a bit miffed by 4 people going in for the price of 1 child!

We went to a museum that was paid entry over 1 with my 13 month old. As she was asleep in the buggy when we arrived (and remained asleep while her brother played on most things though she did wake up later on) I didn't feel at all guilty for not paying.

Thanks all I will let you know the outcome.

All fine, DC1 was in the buggy, not so much a 2nd glance at him.

Despite the rain we enjoyed it!
