    Universal Mardi Gras 2024. “Feet don’t fail me now”. Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler (Let the good times Roll). Skeletons, Gator’s, Beads, Parades & More

    Water Element float was beautiful and very colorful. Again I marvel at how the performers can walk on stilts much less on stilts with all the costumes. Have to admit the shark with the Mardi Gras beads in its mouth was a great design choice. This was a very well designed float with...

    Wednesday, February 7th continued The Float that represented fire was interesting. I’am always intrigued my the designs of the various Floats. It is nice that Universal keeps some of the Mardi Gras regular favorite Floats like the Gator Float etc…..and then comes up with a few new designs for...

    It does allow one to appreciate the artistry of the floats a little more in the daylight without all the different colored lighting that is reflected on the floats at night.

    Good Friday evening everyone. :wave2: SpaceX are so careful before sending up the rockets. Looking to make sure weather is optimum and everything on the rocket is working well before they take off. Hang in there you will be rewarded with your patience soon in seeing a rocket go up...

    Of course I couldn’t forget to take a few photos of the Dragon sitting atop Gringott’s Bank. It was getting close to time for the parade to start and I decided to observe the parade from a different locations along the way. There were a lot more people here for sure this evening...

After I woke up from my nap and it was 2:30 pm. I knew I needed to get moving. The parade was supposed to start at 5:15 pm and I wanted...

    Good question. I always wondered after Hogsmeade if she would allow the expansion of Potter themed areas in parks. Then came Diagon Alley now the Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe. There is still so much interest in the Potter parks and all the Potter themed merchandise. I don’t see that...

    Will do. Universal has really done a nice job of growing the Mardi Gras celebration over the years. You are right, the floats are awesome. They are very well designed. That would be cool if they did put Potter blankets on the bed. What would even be better would be a Potter themed resort...

    Good Sunday morning everyone :wave2: Cape Coral is right next to Fort Myer’s. I had never been there. It is pretty populated as is Fort Myers. It is nice. It is right across a water causeway from Fort Myers. I did not think the gator tasted like anything. That was the problem it...

    A couple more photos in Port of Entry on the way out. What is so nice about Universal is that both of the parks Universal and IOA are very close to walk to. You can always take to Hogwarts Express between the two parks if you have a Park to Park ticket and of course your AP. You go left...

    It is fun to take photos of Hogwarts Castle. I enjoy looking at the Castle. I think it is so nice to see other folks photos of Hogwarts Castle too. Snowy rooftops with Icicles and a Snowman in 70 degree weather. That is magical for sure.

    I think the name of this store front is fun. I just wish there were more stores open in Hogsmeade. It would make it more realistic and it would soak up a few more folks. Hogsmeade can get pretty clogged up and busy sometimes. Who wouldn’t want to go into Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop for some...
