Previously, the dates for the 2024 Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando were revealed. Universal Orlando Resort gave more details about the event and the Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience this week.
Universal Orlando Resort guests can delight in the flavor and flair of Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval, returning to Universal Studios Florida from February 3 through April 7, 2024. The popular celebration features a mouthwatering menu of eclectic cuisine inspired by New Orleans favorites and iconic Carnaval traditions around the globe, a spectacular Mardi Gras parade complete with tons of colorful beads, dazzling floats, and energetic street performers. Also, on select nights, live concerts by top-name talent cap off the festivities. Guests can experience all the excitement of Universal Mardi Gras with regular admission to Universal Studios Florida.
Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience
Guests can also take their Mardi Gras party to the next level with the Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience. This allows guests to participate in the festivities by reserving a spot to toss beads from a Mardi Gras float during the event’s parade. The experience also includes a three-course meal at one of four participating restaurants: The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar, NBC Sports Grill & Brew, Finnegan’s Bar & Grill, or Lombard’s Seafood Grille.
The Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience includes one appetizer, entrée, dessert, and non-alcoholic beverage, starting at $84.99 plus tax per person. It also includes one Mardi Gras parade float rider reservation on the same day. Guests can purchase this experience and reserve their spot by calling 407-224-7554 or visiting www.UniversalOrlando.com/MardiGras. Universal Orlando Passholders will receive a 15% discount off the ticketed price of the experience with a valid Pass when purchasing by calling 407-224-7554 or in person at the Front Gate or a Guest Services location at the theme parks.
Last year, guests who participated in this experience expressed mixed feelings. However, if you desire a solid meal and love throwing beads from the Mardi Gras parade floats, this makes a reasonable investment. Let the good times roll!
