Mardi Gras 2013

I agree, the colors look great. Should be fun.

What does that mean though when a really cute girl throws beads at me?

It means she was probably trying to throw them to someone else. ound: Im just kiddin with ya.

The new floats are totally awesome and lovin all the detail in them. Such eye candy!

Great response! Having been to the real Mardi Gras, I have always been apathetic to this event. I like the other seasonal events, but typically, the Uni version has always just meant extra crowds getting in the way. This year I look forward to having fun at it, and I am still just trying to figure out what the Universal equivalent is to receiving beads.

I couldn't help myself.

Ive always loved these seasonal events at the parks. I enjoy seeing the park decked out for the different events and between all the sights and sounds you have the different foods, it really gives the park a whole different vibe that I really enjoy.

The wife and I will be there that weekend as well. Perhaps we can hook up for a drink or five?

I wish but we will be rocking the double stroller with the kids so most likely no drinking involved. We will only be at Universal on Saturday, Friday is Legoland and Sunday is Seaworld.

That day will be here before you know it.

Shoot, we have a double beast now and then we have to get another single for the one the way. Only good part about the big strollers are we can sit on a curb and put it right behind us so we don't get trampled on.

Looks like a misprint. The same logo is at the bottom of the glasses and looks to be fine there.

By the way, they are offering is a special AP Holder set of beads that is free with a $30 purchase or $10.95 without a separate purchase.

 

[Hockeyman55]

Do they still give out the beads for AP holders? I remember a few year back they had a table set up next to Neutron and they gave some pretty cool to us that weren't sold in the stores.

It has been a few years since they've done that.
