Woman in the Middle

We have a Legoland in Southern California. We only went once because it opened just as my two girls were getting a little too big to go. At that time it seemed to be designed for younger children and the girls were so big for their ages that they had a hard time fitting into some of the kiddie rides. This was not a problem unique to Legoland by the way. Everyone thought my girls were going to be over 6 feet tall but they are nowhere near that height. They got their growth out-of-the-way early, I like to say.

Anyway, back to Legos. The thing I loved about Legoland was all of the sculptures made out of Legos. They were fascinating! So I was thrilled to bits when we went to Downton Disney week before last and the Lego store there had new Lego statutes. They were Disney themed, of course, and huge! Here are some photos. Enjoy!

Here is Beauty and the Beast. Note the clock and candlestick above their hands.

Here is a Toy Story themed diorama. Note the trees in the background. Aren’t they pretty? And totally made out of Lego!

Here is Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty fighting the dragon. Below is a photo of just the dragon, which is huge and is perched on top of the store!

Here is the Aladdin display inside the store. I love the Genie with its face inspired by Robin Williams. The rug Aladdin and Jasmine are fling on was pretty awesome, too! I have to say, female faces do not seem to be the Lego designer’s strong point. Jasmine and Belle (in the first photos) are a little round in the face….
