Legoland Reserve n Ride: Is it worth the money?

Legoland Reserve 'n' Ride: Is it worth the cost? Watch and you decide.

Reserve 'N' Ride allows you to reserve your ride in advance. When your reservation is ready your device or phone let's you know. Basically, the device is waiting in line for you.

For my family it's worth it. We go during busy times, since we don't live in California and the children are in school. Therefore, we go during school breaks or holidays. Children and long lines don't go together. I see parents trying to entertain or hold tired children in the long longs. Count how many parents are holding their kids in line. This does not seem to be a very good time.

I've never been to Legoland during the off season. Therefore, I can't comment on what it is like when the park is slow.

There are 15 attractions which are available for Reserve 'N' Ride.

Instead of waiting in the, you can do many other activities while your device is waiting in line. Some are listed below:

- Go shopping for
- Tour many of the Lego buildings and exhibits.
- Go and eat food at the numerous of the restaurants.
- Have a snack.
- Have a drink.
- Go other rides which do not have reservations.
- Just sit down and rest
- Take photographs
- Make videos
- Run and jump at the playgrounds
- Trade miniature figures
- Play carnival games

Note, Reserve 'N' ride can be purchases in three levels. Levels reduces your virtual wait time. The more the reduction the more the cost.

- Express reduces your wait time by 25%
- Deluxe reduces the virtual wait time by 50%
- Ultimate reduces your wait time by 95%

Additional restriction, some rides can only be ridden once of for Express and twice for Deluxe. Ultimate does not have this restriction. The rides include Ninjago, Knight's Tournament and Deep Sea Adventure.

I have bought reserve and ride twice during winter break. We road trip over to San Diego, California and Legoland for vacation each year. The first year, we waited in line and had to entertain and hold the children. Kids, wife and I were tired and exhausted from waiting in lines. The second year, we bought the Deluxe package and we were almost racing to the next ride. The third year, we tried the Express which is the cheapest option. Even with the Express pass, were were able to ride all the rides.
