Disney World

Glen and Evelyn were in town and bought their new annual passes so we headed to Epcot one night to ride the Star Wars rides and see Fantasmic!. We also spent the morning at Animal Kingdom with them one morning. J. R.'s brother Jim and wife Lori came down with their son Bryan and his wife Ashley and their kids Levi and Liam and we spent a morning at Magic Kingdom with them as well as an evening at Universal Studios.

Universal Mardi Gras

For the last few years, we have been able to ride a Mardi Gras float to toss beads during the parade at Universal Studios. This year, we decided to buy the Ride and Dine experience. We went over early and rode a few rides before our dinner at Lombard's. Dinner was a little disappointing because the restaurant did not have any desserts, including the key lime pie. It started to rain as we left dinner and the rain continued throughout the night as we rode the Gator float. But we still had a great time tossing beads.
