Here's to the Heroes

Legoland Florida

Lego have announced the opening of Legoland Florida on the site of Cypress Gardens in Central Florida.

It will be the largest Legoland to date and will create 1,000 jobs. It is expected to open in late 2011.

Universal U Select

Universal Orlando has announced a new ticket pricing structure called "U Select", in time for the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It follows a similar idea introduced by Walt Disney World in 2005, the Disney "Magic Your Way" ticket system and the idea is to encourage guests to visit the Universal parks for more than just a couple of days.

Free Gift Card

Disney have announced a free Disney Gift Card with a value of up to $750 for selected 5-night/6-day non-discounted vacation packages booked by March 27, 2010 and used by June 3, 2010. There are different 'blackout' dates depending upon resort.

Here's to the Heroes

To support active service personnel, Seaworld Parks & Entertainment are running a program called "Here's to the Heroes" which runs until December 31, 2010.

The admission is good for the service member and up to three direct dependents. Note that dependents can take advantage of the offer without the service member being present though an adult must accompany any minors.

You can either register online at "Here's to the Heroes" or present a valid Department of Defense photo ID at the entrance plaza of participating parks. This offer does not include Discovery Cove or Aquatica in Orlando.

Also applies to Coalition Forces serving in Iraq or Afghanistan and those training with American units in the USA.
