Mardi Gras (Universal Studios Orlando)

 

Mardi Gras at Universal this year looks a little different than it has in the past

The decorations are still there

They even have roaming bands too

They even have characters out - though they are "safely" distanced from park guests

They even have a Mardi Gras Tribute Store

The first room is music themed

The next room is crypt themed

The final rooms are all themed to pirates

There is even a real pirate ship in this store

The biggest change is the lack of a parade

The floats, instead, are staged around the park

During the day, there are performers at each float handing out beads

I really miss the parade, that to me IS Mardi Gras at Universal

Hopefully we can get back to "normal" with park events and entertainment soon
