Tonight Susan, Jenn, and I went to Universal Studios to check out its Mardi Gras Celebration. Every year the Celebration lasts about two months and features food and drink booths, entertainment, and a parade. When we’ve gone in February and March in the past, we’ve never stayed late enough for the Mardi Gras stuff.
We got to the park around 3:30, got some snacks at one of the booths, and activated our unlimited drink cups, then Jenn and I used the after 4 express pass on our AP’s to ride the Mummy. We walked around the park and got more food and drink refills; there weren’t any other rides we cared about doing. Islands of Adventure has better rides which is probably why the special events are held at the Studios.
The Tribute store had been changed into “Legends of the Bayou” and had Mardi Gras merchandise. It’s fun that they change the decorations and stuff in this store several times a year. We also walked through the Wicked store since Jenn hadn’t seen it yet.
We then watched the parade. There were about 10 floats pulled by pickup trucks, each with guests riding on it and tossing beads to the parade viewers. The entertainers that were out earlier walked between them, lots on stilts. Both parks closed at 7 tonight so we headed home after the parade.
