Mardi Gras at Universal

[Albert the Frog]

Booked today to fly out on 4th March-Can now see Smokey Robinson-In the words of Bob Dylan-"The World's Greatest Living Poet"-I agree!!
I've seen him twice in this country and he is absolutely excellent--I can't wait!

We saw Earth Wind and Fire in Tampa 18 months ago - they were FANTASTIC!!!!

Also saw Kool & the Gang at Epcot a few years ago they were also brill!

Does it only happen on Saturday nights or are there any events during the week

We are staying at RPR on 3rd for one night to get FOTL passes

but our overall stay is for much longer, considering heading back to see Huey on the 5th

Tip for Mardi Gras! we went last saturday, stand by the fairground stands by Jaws as floats just start from there and they are full with BEADS!!! we got weighed down with them much to the delight of the kids and of course ME everyone congragates by the main streets near the mummy etc so hard to see anything, our place was just perfect. Enjoy

We went for the concert more than the beads and didn't arrive til after 1915 hrs but still managed to collect some beads round by the concert stage. (I still have hundreds from Millenium so the collection in the closet is even bigger now).

According to the website, you can buy just Mardi Gras passes, which start from 5pm, so if you don't want to go to the park and don't want to spend the extra money, these are another option.
