Universal Studios Florida - Mardi Gras

 

It is Mardi Gras season at Universal Studios Florida.

Let's check out the Tribute Store

Kind of interesting.  Kind of bizarre.

Parade time

Let the beads fly!

This is the Wine Float and it holds a special meaning to us

We're going to break the norms in our posting style here for a bit

Yes this is a few of our crew that got to ride the Wine Float the day before

Here are few more of our Crew members

We had a great time throwing out beads

and yes we worked up a sweat.  lol

Ok, back to the parade

King Gator concludes the parade.

We had such a good time at Mardi Gras this year.

We look forward to participating in it again next year.

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
