The Downtown Disney Lego Store temporarily relocated during the renovation of the store. It took 2 months and finally reopened last week. We were in Anaheim this weekend so we stopped by Downtown Disney to check it out. Wow! What a change. Previously, the round building had shelves perpendicular to the walls. Now it has a cleaner, more modern look. The biggest changes were the huge Lego models, the 2nd story Duplo play area, and the outdoor play area to build and race cars.
In Southern California, we have 5 Lego Stores! We are about 20 minutes away from the closest one and only 2 hours away from the farthest. I am really happy about that. But I do wish they were spread out more. Peter and I hope to move away from this crowded area. But because the stores are so unevenly spread out through the country, we’ll probably end up moving to a state that does not have a Lego store 😦
How about you? Have you ever been to a Lego store? How many miles away is your closest store?
Minifig Fun 
That minifig wall looks really cool! Am extremely jealous that you guys have 5 Lego stores nearby! Hoping that when Legoland Malaysia opens, we’ll get our very own one too!
yeah, the minifig wall was pretty amazing! Thanks for the comment Jay
WOW 5 nearby Lego shops, lucky you indeed. It is at least a 5hr drive to my nearest Lego store. Bit far for a day trip. On the other hand it is near where most of our families live so ok when we go to visit, once a yr!
My family is here too, so I guess when we move away from Southern California, we’ll visit the Lego store when we visit family.
Well, I was going to complain that our closest Lego store is about an hour and 20 minutes away until I saw the last 2 comments! The Ontario, Ca Lego store is our closest store. We go there every month or so for the mini model builds! I have been to the old Downtown Disney store and the new one looks amazing! Gonna have to go to Disneyland just to see the new store!
Bricks N More, I guess we’re not that far from each other then! The Ontario store is the one that is 2 hours away from me.
Yeah, I live down in the Palm Springs area.
Brilliant!!!! This has got to be the best blog ever!!!!! How fun to put together and read. Now, I know what you did with the storm trooper mini fig. How did you find the mini fig of Peter? It’s an exact match.
Thank you Vangie! I’m so glad you like it. It sure is fun. I just love taking pictures of the minifigs. I found the pieces for the Peter minifig in the build a minifig station at the Lego Store. The hair is from the collectible minifig, Sleepyhead.
