If you are from Southeast Louisiana and your schools have Mardi Gras off, and you go to Disney and dress in Purple Green and Gold...Let's countdown together

172 days until Fat Tuesday (so about 170 days until we hit the parks)
Mardi Gras Week Countdown...Going to Disney!!!!!

SharingDisney · 08-23-2012, 07:48 PM

I have been during Mardi Gras. I am from New Orleans.

SiennaMadchen · 09-20-2012, 10:02 PM

We are also going this Mardi Gras -- it will be our kids first time going to Disney world. They have been to Disneyland already, but I have been planning for a couple of years for a big DW vacation and now that my youngest is potty trained, I think it is a great time to go!

Sweet Pea Reed · 09-25-2012, 01:27 PM

I'll be there with DH February 8-16, staying at Caribbean Beach Resort. First visit in 20 years!!!

Urugami · 10-09-2012, 02:27 PM

We just booked on Saturday with the Play/Stay/Dine thing.
I've been much more likely to be going TO New Orleans for Mardi Gras rather than LEAVING it, but that's the way life's turning this year.
We'll be at Port Orleans Riverside (where else for Mardi Gras?) from 10-16 Feb.

Does Disney, or even any Yat guests, do anything to honor the day, or is Orlando too far outside the sphere?

Count southwest Louisiana in!! We will be there for Mardi Gras- just got a free dining pin !!

RussTKD · 10-15-2012, 10:51 AM

We're in.

I think we're planning to wear mardi gras shirts and maybe let my DD give beads to the princesses on Mardi Gras day.

GraceMonica · 10-18-2012, 08:21 AM

Im not from Louisiana...but ill be in Louisiana for mardi gras!...and now im trying to convince my boyfriend to drive to disney for a valentines day....so we can spend the first part of the week in nola for mardi gras and the second part in disney for valentines day!

He'll probably say no, but a girl can dream, can't she?!

We're from Louisiana and we'll be leaving the Mardi Gras craziness behind for a little Disney magic instead! We'll be staying at POFQ so we'll get a bit of NOLA on Mardi Gras!

Ls32004 · 10-19-2012, 10:22 PM

We're in! Feb 9-15 at PORS. This will be my almost four year old's first time

We'll be there at the same time. I hope you guys have fun! I noticed you are from "a tad bit north of New Orleans" - so are we. I've never been to WDW at any other time than Summer, so I'm really excited!

ErinsMommy · 10-26-2012, 01:26 PM

We're in -- February 8-16th at Contemporary TPV. Only a few more days until we're in double digits!!

Hi from Covington. We are super excited and hoping for some great weather. I have only been once about 8 years ago during spring break.
