A few weeks ago, registration opened for the opportunity to ride a Mardi Gras parade float this season at Universal Studios Florida. Mardi Gras celebrations have now officially begun, and guests can join a virtual line for the opportunity to ride a float.

Information and registration for the virtual line are available in the Universal Orlando Resort app, just look for “Mardi Gras Parade Float Riding.”

Virtual Line passes are first-come, first-served with limited availability and will be available from around 12:00 p.m. until one hour prior to parade start. Once available, tap “Reserve Virtual Line Experience Pass” and select the number of guests in your party. Then choose the available time you would like to return to ride your float.

Float riders must all sign a waiver to participate. Face coverings are required on the floats. Riders must be at least 48″ tall with a parent/adult guardian over 18 years old to sign the waiver. Floats are assigned upon availability.

At your Virtual Line Return Time, check in at Animal Actors on Location! one hour to one hour and forty-five minutes ahead of the parade start.
