The Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

Awesome, Disney World is just way too expensive now and he’s really into Legos right now so I figured he would enjoy that more anyways.
@VolPack22 I came across these photos of ours from the Lego store at Disney Springs. You probably could find recent photos of the current displays at this place as well as Legoland online. This Bugatti made out of legos probably took months to build.

That’s some pretty interesting stuff right there, VP. I was in Vero Beach in 2007 watching the Dodgers and Redbirds in a spring training game. Standing with my son on the grounds before the game, and Maury Wills walks right by me, then Davey Lopes. It was pretty cool.
A couple of years ago we went over to Dodgertown and walked around. Too bad they moved out to Arizona.
