Photos/Video: Mardi Gras Parade Takes Over Walt Disney World's Port Orleans Resort

Throw me something, Mister!

Walt Disney World’s annual fan crafted Mardi Gras Parade returned to Port Orleans for a celebration of heroes and villains. 

What’s Happening:

  • Every year, Disney fans gather at Walt Disney World’s Port Orleans Resort for a special Mardi Gras celebration!
  • While Disney Parks are known for their massive and extravagant parades, the annual Mardi Gras event invites fans to join in on their own parade, decorating golf carts for a journey between Riverside and French Quarter. 
  • This year, fans were tasked with the theme Heroes vs Villains. 
  • As per usual, the event kicked off with Tiana in a horse-drawn carriage before being followed by several incredible creations inspired by hit Disney films. 

  • Laughing Place was in attendance for this year's event and had the opportunity to check out the festivities.
  • Among the floats, guests could find golf carts inspired by Peter Pan, Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland, Hercules, and more!

  • For those who missed the parade, we’ve got you covered! Check out a video of this year’s Mardi Gras parade below!
