Universal Orlando is allowing premier and preferred passholders and a guest to ride Mardi Gras floats.
Participants ride the floats in costume, and toss beads and doubloons to the crowd along the parade route.
According to the website, sign up is limited and it does not guarantee a float spot. It also said participation is on a first come, first serve basis.
Rules are as follows:
- Must be 18 years of age (or accompanied by an adult)
- Must be at least 48 inches in height
- No bags or strollers
- Can accommodate guests in standard push wheelchairs with advance notice
