Mardi Gras Parade - Dress for Bead Throwers

[Long Beach Mike]

Hi All,

My family (DW and DDs 15 and 16) are lucky to have snagged a reservation to throw beads at tomorrow's Mardi Gras parade. Does anyone know if they provide costumes for us to wear? If they don't, is it ok for my daughters to dress up (fancy, character-like outfits, colored wigs, etc.)? Sorry, dumb question I know, but my daughters have plans to go all out, and I wanted to see if it would be a waste because costumes were just going to be put over their clothes anyway.

Thanks as always!

They are sparkly rectangles that go over your head and hang down in the front and back.

This is what you’ll be wearing although color would be different depending on which particular float you’ll be on.

How do you get a reservation to do that?

Awhile back AP holders had a crack at reserving spots in advance but they went very quickly. Otherwise, each parade day anyone could attempt to reserve a spot in the Universal app while on property. It was very luck of the draw and you had to keep refreshing the app… the virtual line reservation opened and a random amount of spots were randomly released.
