Hello and welcome! I feel like I haven’t written a trip report in awhile, even after having several trips in between my last trip report and this one. This will be a brief one as our trip was only a day and a half… hence the ‘mini’ trip .
I will say before I get started that I LOVE Mardi Gras time at Universal! It’s such a fun party atmosphere where it seems everyone is just a little extra happy and vibrant. Love it!!
During this little trip, it was just hubby and I. We were a little leery of opening weekend crowds but it really wasn’t too bad. We stayed at Aventura which has been our go-to lately. It’s reasonably priced, not ever crowded, and very convenient to walk to the parks. We are not ones to engage in much resort time… we’re go, go, go with rides and enjoying park atmosphere so for quick weekend trips, Aventura is our jam. So far we’ve stayed at all of the resorts except for Surfside. Every resort has its own charm. Universal is truly a happy place … parks, Citywalk and resorts.
Anyways, next up… food, rides, Tribute Store, concert, Cursed Coconut Club, and scoring a last minute spot on riding on a parade float!!
