THEME PARK BUCKET LIST: Riding IN The Parade At Universal Studios | Mardi Gras Float & Dine

Editorial Summary

The creators document their experience participating in the Mardi Gras festivities at Universal Orlando through the Float and Dine package. This add-on experience allows guests to dine at a selected restaurant before riding on a parade float to throw beads to the crowd. The creators choose to dine at Cowfish on CityWalk, where they review various fusion dishes including sushi, burgers, and signature burgushi items like the All-American double cheeseburgushi. They also sample milkshakes for dessert. After dining, they proceed to the check-in process at Animal Actors on Location, where they receive themed tabards and are assigned to the Goddess float. The video covers the logistics of the experience, such as the requirement to be 48 inches tall, the need for a separate theme park ticket, and the process of picking up tickets at will call kiosks. The creators conclude by sharing their thoughts on the value of the package, noting that while the food is delicious, the cost is somewhat steep unless one was already planning a sit-down meal. They ultimately recommend the float ride as a bucket list item for those seeking a guaranteed way to participate in the parade.
