She also declared that the outfit would outdoor her “entertainment arrangement during special seasonal events” to a third party.
“At Legoland California Resort, we make operational changes to help us raise customer experience in 2025 and beyond,” Estrada said in a statement sent to NBC 7. “This includes changes in the way we Let’s deliver entertainment.
