Always amazing what they can do with tribute stores for each season.

The Hurricane flavored cake thing looks the most interesting.

Ahhh, I miss Mardi Gras at Universal! Was always happening when we went. I still have beads....

Random Thoughts from Opening Night:

Once again the parade is incredible. All new space-themed floats are fun and colorful, the traditional floats still look great as good as they did newly refurbed back in 2020. And the cast just brings the energy, as always.

I'll be blunt, I've found most overhyped Universal foods to be ... well, overhyped. But the chorizo sandwich (more like a hot dog, but technicality) in Kid Zone is one of the best things I've eaten in either park in years. And yes, I was at Mythos last month.

Blinky cups are available only on concert nights, only from Transformers bar. Otherwise it's the smaller, color-changing cup for the same price.

Tribute store feels like overkill given the limited amount of merch for sale. Three wax mold machines feels like overkill as well.

@Mad Dog Tons of Mardi Gras themed costumes on guests, some of them rather elaborate. I even saw a full Spider-Gwen costume, which is unrelated but was still weird. As long as you keep your naughty bits covered, I think you're fine.

Did Voodoo Donuts have any special donuts for Mardi Gras this year?

Always enjoy their creativity in design and flavors.
