anyone from louisiana going for mardi gras

[court4short]

I just found this topic, so I thought I should hop in and say hello to all my fellow Louisiana-ians.

I'm from the Baton Rouge area and I'm going Jan 20-26th. Though, a LOT of people from this area go during Mardi Gras. I was working at POP in February of 2006 for a college internship and I can't begin to tell you how many LSU shirts I saw that weekend! It was like I was back home! ♥

Hey from New Orleans...
We won't be there for Mardi Gras, but we're headed to the world this Saturday for a week . It will be my DD4's first trip. We were planning a trip around April right before Katrina, but we all know what happened then so this trip has been a long time coming.

We are traveling with our best friends and their two daughters, one is 3 (my DDBFF) and the other is 16. I've been collecting things to decorate the windows (staying at POP). I even ordered a Mickey punch to make my own LGMH. I'm currently stenciling some fleur de lis on several to represent NOLA.

I also used some designs from the disboard designers, who are awesome... to make some shirts and signs for our doors.

Maybe I can talk DH into a Mardi Gras trip in the future. In preparing for this trip, I've gone beyond obsessed with WDW and Dis.

Hey I'm not from LA but right next door--Mississippi Girl. My DN 8 and I will be in Disney from Feb. 1-6. We only get three days off for Mardi Gras. This is her second trip and she is excited. I haven't told her when we are going. She thinks we are going for Spring Break. But the DA is pulling a good one on her.

How's this for a crazy Mardi Gras?
I'm riding in a parade down here Friday night. Recovering Saturday. Leaving early Sunday morning to ride in Bacchus in New Orleans. Prolly getting off the float around midnight or so, then partying with K.C. and the Sunshine band at the Bacchus Rendezvous. Then, we meet the in-laws and the children at the airport to catch a flight out of New Orleans to Disneyworld early Monday morning. I don't even want to think about the condition I'm going to be in on that flight. We're staying at the Contemporary (atrium club or something like that). I figure I'll wear my Bacchus costume Mardi Gras Day if it doesnt have too much party gravy on it. The costumes light up so you shouldn't miss me Mardi Gras night. I'll make sure to bring my leftover beads if I have any.

Where is down here. I too will have a hectic week..though not as hectic as yours. I will be in NO for training the monday through Thursday, then home to pack and leave for the world on Friday. Yippie..I am still excited.

"Down Here" is the metropolis of Morgan City, Berwick, and the lovely community of Bayou Vista. Nothing between us and the Gulf of Mexico except 14 miles of swamp and marsh. A true Sportsman's Paradise.

Heading to Disney the week after Thanksgiving. If LSU goes to the SEC championship game, flying straight to Atlanta on Sat Dec. 1 from Orlando.
Hubby rides in parade Sunday before Mardi Gras downtown, but looking to go snowskiing Fat Tuesday - Sunday. No disney....

Hubby rides in Thoth and after he gets finished we are heading to catch Bacchus and got tickets to the party! Have a blast!

I know the area well. I am only about 45 minutes from you. I have never tried Mardi Gras on your end. We usually do Lafayette. I haven't been back to New Orleans MG in a while..but I will get to see a little bit next year. Have fun..and good luck on the plane ride. Hopefully you don't party too much.. yeah right, huh!!

I sure wish that Disney had offered those internships when I was in school. I would have definetly tried for one. I have always loved Disney!!
