WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) – Legoland Florida Hotel will welcome its first guests a month earlier than previously expected.

During an announcement Thursday, Legoland executives announced May 15 as the revised opening date.

The theme park will move its model-building workshop into the hotel, giving guests access to the employees who create the elaborate Lego designs displayed throughout the park.

Executives also say the first-floor restaurant at the hotel will be called Bricks Family Restaurant, an eatery with low buffet tables to accommodate children. Another gathering place will be the Skyline Lounge.

The Lakeland Ledger reports that a new section called Lego Friends Heartlake City is scheduled to open in the park this summer. That section, to be located near the Magnolia Mansion, is based on a line of Lego products aimed at girls.
