Mardi Gras Parade timing

[IronBoss]

Hi There! We haven't been to Universal in a couple years, but have the chance to go for the day on Tuesday, Match 10th - on the way to Reggae Rise Up Floriday in St Pete! I noticed the park in only open until 7 that day, but most places say the Mardi Gras Parade starts at 7 most days. Does this mean the rides, etc close & the parade runs at 7?

I was there last week and one day Studios closed at 6pm and they ran the parade at 5pm. The app will show the parade time.

Parade related - anyone have any experience this year with how standby works for the parade? Not sure if its any different this year than previous years.

Also - anyone know if they have slots available in the Visa lounge for card holders.

Just in general if you have the time and get the chance to ride a float its a great experience.

I haven’t heard anyone talk about the process and I haven’t had time to stay in the park beyond a few hours. If you go to the website, you can see all parade times. I went to march 10th and it’s at 6pm.
