Legoland tips please

We're off to Legoland next week. I've checked out their disabilities ride and with my neck pain, it looks like there aren't many rides I can go on. I also suffer from fatigue which can be brought on by loud environments and light sensitivity. I can make it through a movie at the cinema but have to close my eyes for explosisions etc.

Has anyone with similar issues been? Any tips?

Good morning :)

We went at the end of June just before it got really busy. My hubby got his bi in Sept last year. Next week it will be busy!!

We stayed in the resort and the staff were great I rang before we went and explained situation my hubby also has chronic fatigue and struggles with noise big spaces busyness etc. We were given early check in so he could just go to the room and sleep whenever he needed to. It took him at least a week to recover but for our boys it was worth it :) I recommend sun glasses and ear defenders or early plugs there is music played everywhere and it's big lots of things to see everywhere you look so an overload on all your senses. Also 100% recommend paying the extra for the Q bot queue buster even if you can't go on all the rides you will be sat waiting an hour at least for everyone else who is going on rides otherwise. There aren't any quiet places to go other than the bedroom if you stay over or the restaurant attached to resort, if you ask prior to going you might be allowed to use it even when it's closed. The mini village is much more chilled with grassy areas you will be able to sit down away from other humans.

Good for you for going. Massive amounts of good luck! Make sure you do rest on the way and find somewhere to rest when you're there it did completely floor my husband going but it was worth it for our children :)

Did they ask for any proof of his medical issues? We're staying overnight Sun/Mon so fingers crossed Monday will be quieter - I'm hoping not all the schools have a teacher training day. I'll ask about an early check-in.

No they didn't ask for any proof they were really helpful. Fingers crossed it's not too manic when you go. Check in l think was from 3 but they rang me as soon as the room was ready which was about 11 so hubby was able to use it from then :)
