New indoor character meet opens at Legoland Florida

Legoland Florida Resort has opened Buddy’s Character Corner, a new indoor location for guests to meet and greet their favorite Lego characters.

Set up inside the historic Magnolia Mansion in the Fun Town section of Legoland Florida Resort, guests now have the opportunity to interact and take pictures with Buddy, Max, the Lego Friends and even Emmet from “The Lego Movie”, all inside the comfort of air conditioning.

“We are excited to finally unveil this unique experience to our fans,” said Legoland Florida Resort Product Excellence Manager Phil Royle. “This gives us another way for our guests to interact with the characters here at the park, adding to our already exciting 50 rides, shows and attractions and Legoland Water Park.”

The experience starts as visitors enter the Magnolia Mansion, being welcomed by various characters and Lego theming. Children and parents will then have the opportunity to take their own photos or purchase an exclusive photo with their favorite character, with unique backgrounds to choose from. The backgrounds scenes include parts from “The Lego Movie”, Legoland Florida Resort, Lego Friends and various Lego backgrounds. Other character meet and greet opportunities still take place throughout the park.

The Magnolia Mansion, originally opened in 1941 and part of Cypress Gardens in various forms throughout the later 1900s, was restored in preparation of the new experience. Previously used for Legoland meetings, the addition of Buddy’s Character Corner adds to attractions found under cover, and in air conditioning.
