Ah the memories. 

Sounds like a good trip to look forward to!

[Ryushi]

Ohh super fun look into it. I hope to have enough time for both Fabrik and actually doing the rides/miniland.

Well since unlike most participants I can't shove bricks into every nook and cranny of a car for the drive home, so will need to come prepared

Question for the more experienced people. Where online do I get the annual pass that allows me to get into both Germany and Billund Legoland? I'll be back in Europe in September and was thinking at 3 days of going to Legoland it might be worth the annual pass.

[MiloNelsiano]

This should be what you're looking for.

As I understand it, only the Merlin Premium Annual Pass gets you into LegoLand in Günzburg and Billund. It's a lot ,ore expensive however. While the basic LegoLand annual pass pays for itself after going twice, I think you'd have to go three times to make the Premium Pass pay for itself. Unless, of course you buy a lot at LegoLand, since you will then have a 10% discount off most shops in the park, including the Fabrik.

What could possibly be happening in Billund in September I wonder..

Am I correct in thinking that if I already have a Merlin annual pass that expired last October I can renew for €69/€79 which would be much cheaper than the new member rate?

That's how it worked for us last year when we renewed. However I think there's a certain time frame you're supposed to renew it within. If it expired in October you might be outside that window, but I'm really not sure to be honest. 

[Peppermint_M]

Okay then! Anyone interested in working out meetups at Munich on arrival? It is further to travel than when we visit Billund!

I land at 0930 according to my flight booking. Who is near to that time and wants company? I can wait around an hour or two exploring the airport (I like airports) if other arrive a little later. Or do any earlier arrivals mind hanging on?

I am sure I can travel alone to where we are staying, but it is more fun to have company. 

[VaderFan2187]

Sounds cool but I definitely can't join (see my country)

Though are there any mods in the pictures above?

(the bold ones are mods or higher, the green ones are fellows )

[VaderFan2187]

@Holodoc oh wow, that's so cool! Thanks

[Peppermint_M]

Torso is so polite, I think Beer Belly is the appropriate term   

There are lots of past event photos to take a gander through too. It is always fun.

[MstrOfPppts]

Since the Thursday activity is LEGOLAND park, I wonder if there is any schedule for the day (any guided behind the scenes tours and when it starts) or is it free roaming all day long?

A friend of mine is going to Gunzburg on Thursday and I have a ride. Just need to know how early in the morning / middle of the night I'll hove to convince him to start the journey ... :)

Ooops. My bad.

I have to admit I was wondering why CGH looked so young...

For the park: We are trying to arrange something... Stay tuned. Normally we used to get to the park at opening time - 10 o' clock. Then we split up (most of us will head for the Fabrik a.s.a.p. :wink:) and gather again for lunch in the Dino Grill.
Still we are free people in a free country. Everything can, nothing must.

[Holodoc]

We have found a special offer for entering the park this year:

So that's 20€ for every adult instead of 44,50€.

I don't think it will get better anytime soon. I found another offer on a cerial package allowing 5 persons to get in for half the price - that's still interesting, but not outdoing this offer.

Janet, Cwetqo and Dfenz: You are accompanied by children, right? I assume you will still use this offer for your kids, too?

So if I don't hear anything else until the end of March I'll book 26 tickets according to the sign up topic. I propose to divide the 553€ by 26 then.
If you don't want me to do this, please report here!

I have an annual pass, so I will not need a ticket. But that is a great offer!

[elleana]

One ticket for me please. Thanks. 

[Cwetqo]

We have annual pass too, so we will not need tickets.

But, looking at this offer, I'm almost sorry that we got annual passes last year. :)

[Jim]

Kitty and I would love to join the Holodoc discount program!  

Let me know if you want cash in return, paypal, fake creditcard number, bitcoins, LEGO, whatever 

[chubays]
