Legoland Florida kicked off its Christmas Bricktacular Saturday with Make-A-Wish families.
The resort hosted 40 Make-A-Wish families to kick off the annual event with a tree lighting ceremony in a colorful celebration full of music, lights and snow.
Merlin’s Magic Wand provided tickets for nearly 200 Make-A-Wish guests to enjoy the theme park and be special VIP guests at the ceremony.
“As a theme park that is truly built for kids, we are honored to host these great kids and create wonderful holiday memories for them and their families. We’d like to thank Make-A-Wish for the opportunity to work together on this event, and for all of the wonderful things they do to support children and their families all year long,” said Legoland Florida Resort General Manager Adrian Jones.
Legoland Florida Resort’s parent company, Merlin Entertainments, created Merlin’s Magic Wand to put the magic back into the childhoods of seriously ill, disabled and disadvantaged children.
“We are thrilled to continue our long-standing relationship with Legoland to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Legoland creates an amazing hands-on experience for our Wish children who wish to go to the park or to be a Master Model Builder for the day. We appreciate the continued support and commitment Legoland gives to our organization,” said Chair of Board of Directors for Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida Chris Quarles.
The annual Christmas Bricktacular event continues weekends in December.
