Mardi Gras nights at Universal Orlando Resort also feature a parade with authentic floats built by Mardi Gras float builders. Catch some beads and doubloons, and if you have kids, bring them to the Little Jesters section, a special viewing area just for them.
If you're hungry, feast on delicious dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, andouille sausage, and beignets. You'll also enjoy the sounds of musicians direct from New Orleans.
