 Yesterday, Renée made her way over to Universal Orlando Resort to check out the awesome Mardi Gras festival and a couple of pics of Velicicoaster progress. The park is looking great, even better due to the lack of crowds. Let's head in!! Written by Renée Girard  Spending a few hours this afternoon at Universal Orlando!  First, a quick stop at Islands of Adventure. I absolutely love the details in Port of Entry, and with low crowds today, it’s great to look around and enjoy it.     Only a 15 minute wait (posted at 45) for Hagrid’s is pretty perfect.   Velocicoaster looking good, as always. Can’t wait to ride!    Let the good times roll! Mardi Gras celebration is happening all over Universal Studios.     RIP  RIP 2.0  The parade floats are all over the park, offering a modified experience where you can still see their amazing sets and costumes, and also collect beads!     The food festival is the headliner for Mardi Gras at Universal this year. The sampler card is a great value to get, but I most likely won’t be back due to blockout dates   I kept it simple with a vegan bratwurst  And Purple Haze beer  The entertainment team members were all outstanding and gladly posed for some socially distant selfies. 
 More treats can be found in the Tribute Store, where I easily could have had one of everything, but narrowed it down to the bananas foster cheesecake pop and vegan skull brownie (a favorite of mine from HHN, too!).
 Continuing on with the Tribute Store, the amount of detail put into it for each event, and now especially Mardi Gras, is stunning.
 I hope Universal continues on with the amazing theming for all of their events with the Tribute Store. To me, it’s more of a walk-through experience than a store.
  I was definitely spoiled by the lack of crowds in the store, and the park overall, for that matter. If you can get to Mardi Gras at Universal Orlando, definitely do it now before spring break hits, and enjoy everything!
