Mardi Gras In Florida?











Universal Orlando has been transformed into a Mardi Gras celebration every Saturday night through April 19. This is a Party that all ages can enjoy. And includes some hot musical performers such as, Third Eye Blind, Heart, L.L. Cool J and some old-school singers, Frankie Valli, Four Seasons, Smokey Robinson and Kool & The Gang.

From what I have read and heard this is one of the largest Mardi Gras festivals outside of New Orleans. This party presents an elaborate parade that features 13 animated floats covering all the French Quarter Courtyard. There are hundreds of costumed characters, a ton of beads, and authentic Cajun and Creole cuisine, ummm...

In a recent press release, Jim Timon, senior vice president of entertainment at Universal Orlando Resort was quoted as saying, "With our authentic parade floats, musicians direct from New Orleans, and, of course, thousands of beads, guests will be caught up in the fun of this party."

I think this is going to be a good time, so I’m going to take a ride up and make a night of it. My mission is to get as many beads as possible… remember, this is PG guys, so get your head out of the gutter!
