Let\u2019s face it: a Disneyland trip<\/a> is not cheap. After you factor in transportation, hotels, park tickets, meals and maybe a little extra for souvenirs, you\u2019re looking at a lot of money.<\/p>\n

One of the ways to stretch that vacation budget is to schedule some days when you\u2019re not in the parks. Luckily, Downtown Disneyland is located just steps from all the three Disney owned and operated hotels,<\/a> and also the two theme parks. In fact, it\u2019s also comfortable walking distance from some of the off property hotels as well!<\/p>\n

At this point you might be thinking, \u201cOkay, so we spend a day at Downtown Disney. It\u2019s all shops, restaurants, and movie theaters! We\u2019ll be reaching for our wallets again!\u201d<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s true that there are plenty of ways to spend money here, there are a couple of ways to spend time that won\u2019t break the bank. One way is to stop in at the Lego Store.<\/p>\n

\"Buzz\"<\/p>\n

Buzz and Woody welcome you to the Lego Store!<\/em><\/p>\n

The Lego Store typically opens at 10:00 a.m. and closes at 10:00 p.m. It\u2019s hard to miss: just look along the rooptops of the buildings until you find some larger than life Lego creations!<\/p>\n

To the left of the main entrance, under some shade, you\u2019ll find a fun set up for kids. Bins of Legos sit next to two descending ramps. Kids are invited to come over, build a Lego car, and then race it down those ramps. And there\u2019s no charge for any of this.<\/p>\n

\"Race\"<\/p>\n

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!<\/em><\/p>\n

Nearby, some tables topped with Lego boards are surrounded by bins. Here, kids can build anything they\u2019d like to, again free of charge. A Cast Member is nearby in case kids get frustrated or need assistance.<\/p>\n

\"Building\"<\/p>\n

Kids can build to their heart’s content<\/em><\/p>\n

Once inside the blessedly air conditioned store, you\u2019re greeted by even more huge Lego sculptures. When we arrived, we found The Incredible Hulk, a character from the Lego Friends series, Jasmine and Aladdin on their magic carpet, and a friendly looking dragon guarding an entire wall of loose Lego bricks in every shape and color imaginable.<\/p>\n

If you have tiny tykes in tow, be sure to guide them to the Duplo area. Here, boards and pieces are available for small kids to build things from the larger, more toddler friendly blocks. And once again, there is no fee to let your kids build!<\/p>\n

\"Duplo\"<\/p>\n

This is, of course, a store, and you\u2019re going to find a whole lot of Lego sets for purchase, including the aforementioned Duplo sets for younger kids. We had a blast browsing the sets. Some of them were only identifiable by the photos on the front of their boxes. But others, like this beauty, were set up behind glass so that we could see what it looked like when it was completed.<\/p>\n

\"Simpsons\"<\/p>\n

D’oh!<\/em><\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re enjoying a day off from the parks, or you simply want to escape the parks in the middle of the day for a little break, a stop in the Lego Store can be a fun \u2013 and surprisingly inexpensive \u2013 diversion.<\/p>\n

\"Lego<\/p>\n

Farewell until next time, Lego Store!<\/em><\/p>\n
