PEACE OF MIND POLICY FOR NEW LEGOLAND® FLORIDA BOOKINGS & ANNUAL PASS PURCHASES
LEGOLAND Florida Resort is built for kids. Our vacations, including LEGOLAND theme park, water park and on-site hotels, are built for families. That means we are in the business of making it as easy as possible for you to build your memories with us. For that reason, we have launched our “Peace of Mind Policy” for booking vacation packages and for our existing Annual Passholders and ticket holders.

You can continue to book your LEGOLAND Florida vacation with the peace of mind that there is the option to change your hotel or vacation package reservation at a later date without incurring a fee. For our new Annual Passholders, we want you to join our passholder family with the opportunity to redeem and launch your year with us during an extended period of time. You can now visit our theme park up to 100 days after your purchase to activate your new annual pass. This gives you the peace of mind that you can plan for the Spring or Summer with more flexibility.

For our existing Annual Passholders, we will be extending the validity of your pass or, in the case of our Annual Passholders using monthly pay, your pass payments will be on hold as of April 1 until we are able to welcome you and your families back to experience our parks. For Guests who have a dated ticket that is valid during our closure dates, we will be extending the validity window of your ticket through the end of the year so that you have the flexibility to visit us later in the year.

We want you to have the most vacation ever—starting with your LEGOLAND Florida vacation planning experience with us.  With the Peace of Mind planning, we hope to make it a little easier for your family to assemble the pieces of your next vacation so we can build those fun, exciting and special memories together.

The Peace of Mind Policy applies to new LEGOLAND Florida Vacation Packages & new LEGOLAND Florida Annual Pass purchases through April 14, 2020:

The relaxation of our commercial policy regarding rebooking fees (fees associated with hotel/package reservation date changes after booking) is available to guests that book a LEGOLAND Vacation package between March 9, 2020 and Tuesday, April 14, 2020, for travel dates through December 31, 2020 (subject to availability).  Reservations can be rebooked by 4 p.m. EST a minimum of 5 days before the scheduled arrival date (listed on the reservation confirmation). Rebooking options will be based on availability. This policy applies only to reservations made directly through LEGOLAND Vacations.  If your travel plans were arranged by a third-party, including travel agents, travel-booking websites, or other businesses independent of LEGOLAND Parks and Resorts or LEGOLAND Vacations, please contact those suppliers directly to understand their policies and any applicable fees for changing or cancelling a reservation.

The extension of the redemption window for all new LEGOLAND Florida Annual Pass purchases (current pass purchases must be activated/redeemed at the LEGOLAND Florida Front Gate within 60 days of purchase) to 100 days from date of purchase is available to guests who purchase a valid Annual Pass product between March 11 and Friday, April 3, 2020. Regular Annual Pass terms & conditions apply per pass type as outlined in the terms & conditions specific to each pass type.

The Peace of Mind Policy applies to existing LEGOLAND Florida Annual Passholders and LEGOLAND Florida tickets purchased for closure dates through April 14, 2020:

All active Annual Passholders, who are not currently enrolled in Monthly Pay, will receive an extension of one month for every month that the Park is closed based on the valid dates for their existing pass. All active Monthly Pay Passholders will have their monthly payments suspended starting April 1, 2020 until the Park reopens. Specific regarding the pass extensions and/or reinstatement of the monthly payments for specific pass types will be updated upon announcement of a reopening date for LEGOLAND Florida Resort.  Regular Annual Pass terms & conditions apply per pass type as outlined in the terms & conditions specific to each pass type.

Any unused tickets that were valid for specific dates during the announced closure period (excludes FLEX tickets) of March 16 – April 14, 2020 will be valid to use as regular admission on any valid day (based on the ticket type purchased) for the rest of 2020, upon reopening, with no additional fee.
