“We’re pleased to add the LEGOLAND dollar to our extensive range of currencies this summer. Of course, LEGOLAND Florida Resort comes as highly recommended by my two sons, ages 4 and 8, but we’re also happy to offer additional value and benefits to our customers through this partnership,” said Christopher McShane, Head of Retail, Travelex.
