Lego Land advice needed

Debating which park to do with the family. We have Disney fatigue and we were thinking Lego Land might be a good alternative.
Anyone have any experiences to share? Would a 4 year old be entertained there?

We went last year and our 4 year old son loved it, even more than Disney. Most of the park has a lot of shade and it was not overly crowded at all. The longest we waited for a ride was maybe 10 minutes.

You should've come to me first with this question

Just went with my son. Few bits of advice:
1. Look online for admission price coupons.
2. Buy a dozen cheap minifigures before you go. All the workers wear the figures on their name tags and will swap them with you. Your kid chooses the one he wants to trade and the one he gets for it. It may have been my sons favorite thing in the park.
3. Get there early.
4. At entry, hurry to the back of the park and do the boats and the ford driving experience. Those two rides get LONG because they are slow moving.
5. Go see the water show. It pays homage to the old cypress gardens water show.
6. Lower your expectations because it is a small park. It is still fun for a kid that age.

I'm going in a few weeks and have a couple questions.
Any advantages to preferred parking?
I've read that you can have upto an hour wait to get into the parking lot. Did you find this to be the case when you went?
Did you go over a weekend?

SEC Dragonmasturbator gives excellent advice.
Went during Xmas time and saw no advantage to preferred parking.
Not in my case but the weather was kinda chilly for central FL at the time. So that probably affected the attendance at the park.
Went during the week

Legoland is in Winter Haven which is probably 45minutes to an hour from Orlando.

To add to SEC dragonmasters excellent post. The fried chicken place right next to the ford driving experience is Really good. Probably the best park food I ever had and the price was reasonable considering they had you trapped inside the park.

Yes, the line to get in and parking design sucks. Stay in the far right lane the entire time. It moves faster because it divides into two lanes toward the end.

Yes, in our case, much closer.
Definitely bring mini figures to tradewith staff.
It's definitely a park for younger kids, but there are a couple of decent coasters.

Just get there 30 mins before the park opens and getting into the lots is easy. We went on a weekend and it was easy. The preferred parking is about 30 yards closer than the first 10 rows of regular parking.
Forgot to say that you need to wear water shoes (sandals/Keens/etc) and take a rain poncho if you plan on riding the Legends of Chyma ride. It has boats full of water jets and you will get drenched. If you are dressed for it, it's one of the best rides in the park.

Lego Land =/= Disney
Therefore Lego Land > Disney
end
