Although we are primarily a Disney focused site, we like to keep you in the loop when there are big announcements at the other theme parks in Central Florida. So many things changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and many special events and celebrations had to be canceled. Universal Studios Orlando announced that they will be bringing back their Mardi Gras Celebration in 2022.

The parades with dazzling floats will go down the street, and there will be beads thrown into the audience, so if you enjoy collecting those, you will have that opportunity again. Just be careful because it doesn’t feel very good if you get hit in the face with one; I know that from experience.
