You might think that seeing a big concert and world class parade designed by experts and a party like atmosphere would cost you more but you'd be wrong.

With the exception of the cost of food booths and certain upgraded experiences, the majority of the Mardi Gras fun is included in the cost of your entry.

You can put yourself forward to ride in the parade, catch and take home colourful beads and be amongst the crowd at a full blown concert for no more money than what you paid to get into Universal Studios Florida. So you can ride Revenge of the Mummy and the parade all for the same price.
