It was an absolute pleasure chatting about HHN and WoW with you and Sam outside of F&F yesterday. You are a gem and we truly appreciate the positivity of your videos. You and Sam help fill in the gaps between our trips, getting us super enthused for the next Universal visit! Keep shining! 😁

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Mardi Gras looks like so much fun , The food looks amazing
Yayyy, Jackie you and Sam are at Universal for mardi Gras!! ❤❤ I love your interactions with all the characters. It’s so much fun to see how excited you get in interacting with the characters! I love the private room you guys got to go to. I love how it looks like you’re in a swamp with the crickets and swap noises! I love the floor. It looks like you’re walking on the water in the swamp! I love your guys celebration dance! That’s awesome. You got to ride the float. That made it for a very special night on the first night of Mardi Gras!!! I loved going to Mardi Gras last year. It was so much fun!! I really wanted to make it to Mardi Gras this year at Universal but I recently slipped and had bad fall from the wet snow and I broke my hip. I had to have a full hip replacement!! i’m excited to watch more of your videos about Mardi Gras!! ❤🎉🥳😊
Very fun Universal day! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Jackie and Sam, happy February..Great video, food, beverages, concerts and more of Universal Mardi Gras FL..Enjoy the week.
Yes!! You rode the float again!!! I’m glad you had such a great time
It was amazing, we didn’t do it last year at all I don’t think, so it’s been a while! Such a cool and unique thing Universal allows!
@ love to see your videos!!!
I totally get what Sam is saying about bananas. I am like that, too. 💜😊💚
that's so funny! he's eating one right now!
I love how universal does Mardi Gras. All the food looks interesting and they put glitter by hand on the floats, that’s impressive. I’m so glad you got to ride on the float and be a bead thrower… Lol that’s cool, I’m gonna be driving through New Orleans in June, so I’m definitely gonna stop and get me some original beignets.
I think that was the most excited parade/bead throwing that I've seen from people covering UO Mardi Gras!.... Thanks for bringing us along with you.
I was waiting for it…bananary!!!!!! Love it! Don’t know how to spell it, but I love it. We need a merch shirt.
🍌 I need to work on that 😂

Ah thank uuuu!! We had so much fun and I was smiling while editing the whole time! 💘
Wow what a packed night for opening night. It was great to see it from the float angle. It was so crowded🎉🎉 I can't wait to see the Mardi gras parade.

wow 345 is amazing!!! Totally, we will get there early and wait for the big shows too!
Throwing beads in a parade is so much fun. We volunteer to do it in our towns christmas parade. Thanks for sharing!
That’s so cute. Since I grew up in Miami, I’ve gone on boat parades for Christmas!
Happy Groundhog Day, Expedition Enthused Crew. What a Fun Day you and Sam had. Thank you for bringing us along for the 1st Day of Mardi Gras 2025. Thank you sharing the Parade experience. Stay Safe and keep having Fun on your Adventures. 👋🏻🇨🇦
Universal seems to do all their theming really outstanding. The food looks delicious. Of course you two were on a float throwing beads. The passion you’re admiring in the park matches the passion you both bring to your vlogs and travels. A fun day at the park.

Oh Yeah! Happy opening day of Mardi Gras!! 🎉 The food and beverage card is a must! especially If you plan on eating and drinking like I do Lol! Plus you can use it at other events, which is great! I'm so excited to be throwing some beads on Feb 15th! Riding the float is SO fun and a must-do at least once. Thanks for the preview Jackie! I am now ready for a Bananary drink Lol! It sounds really good. I think I'll be coming home with some merch too, the Tribute Store never disappoints. All n' All, Feet Don't Fail Me Now! 🥳🕺🎉

Your float was the cool kids float, love it. I rode the float twice last year. Lots of hard work lol but fun.📿📿📿
It def was!
Great Video Jackie. You are amazing and so informative. Keep up the awesome work 😊.

I can’t believe you guys got to go on a parade float opening night. It’s looks like you and Sam had so much fun on the float.
We had soooo much fun!
Wow!!! That's amazing 🤩... and you guys were all the party. Thanks for sharing, Magic Couple. You're awesome. Thanks 💛💛💛💛

In Florida instead of a groundhog, we see if the gators pop up 😂
Hi Jackie (and Sam). That Bbq meal near the start looked awesome. Like I've said before I'm Mardi Gras ignorant as it was never part of my world, so I appreciate seeing how you all down there get into it, etc.
It’s definitely different at a theme park and in Florida, but it’s an amazing celebration in a unique way here.
@ glad you’re enjoying it 😀
Don't know where the @ came from!
Good morning ms. Jackie glad to see a new video from u ❤
Hi Jayme! 💕 got another new vid out today and will have another this weekend!!
@SuperEnthused Ms .Jackie looking forward to it
Good video Jackie and Sam keep it up ❤
It really is mind blowing to see what Universal does for the guest experience. Riding in floats...Tribute Stores...$150 in food for the price of $120...Overlays like the Cruel Coconut...Media invites...
Happy Mardi Gras! Let the good times roll! 🎉🤘
I’m super enthused about going to Mardi Gras for the first time! Great bananaie review, but not too bananaie. Love the Stranger Things hat! I’m most enthused about the parade.
I hope it’s a blast when you do go!!! I got this hat on our trip to that Stranger Things Experience in Vegas earlier this year, it’s one of my favorites!
Team Riverboat!!! We were in the middle top section!
Ah how cool!! We had the biggest and best float!!!
Mmm that gumbo looks great
It was good!
Another great video my friend
Happy Mardi Gras
Watching this vlog it suddenly occurred to me, I've been during this event several times yet never tried the food booths🤔🤷🏻♂️
There's nothing quite like getting hit in the eye by stray beads 😂
Why is it so rare to see full Mystery Inc crew at once these days?
I saw the full Scooby gang recently but yea I wish they had all been there for this! You gotta try the food booths if you come again for it, but do it kinda earlier in the day bc they get more and more crowded thro the evening.
Good morning ☀️ Jackie You got your video up early! I was there last night too for Mardi Gras and it was fun 🤩
Ah can’t believe I didn’t see u, but it was a crazy fun day! Hope to see u soon out there
@ it was just way too crowded that day especially for the T Pain concert 🎵 so left early lol 😂 I was squished like sardines
Never been at this Tim of year looks amazing, if I were there I'd be interested in seeing All Time Low
We want to see them too!
Cool that you were on the float to throw the beads to people!
it's such a fun experience, and the crowds were LIT!!! I was so happy bc my aim has gotten so much better and I got beads to almost everyone I aimed for lol!
@SuperEnthused 👍
We are only getting to come to Florida for three days. I have to hit Universal, Sea World and Busch Gardens. So I only get one day at Universal and that is going to be so Hard because I so want to see "Foster the People". I love Mardi Gras, but it turning out to be a busy time at work. But I will take what I can get. I will watch your every visit - It helps me decide what I need to see and get. That way I can saver over minute on just what I need to do for the best visit. What a wonderful first night.
that's going to be an action packed 3 days!!! Foster the people is going to be such an amazing show, I think we will be there too, hope I see you!
@@SuperEnthused That would be awesome!!! I met you years ago and it would be so nice to see you again and to meet Sam. Now I'm even more excited.
Jackie - I just got another email about Informer Meet up - it is going to be on March 1st - So will it start after the concert? Plus, now all those people will get in early and be at the concert! OH NO!!!!!
@@vickistory2724I have a feeling it’s going to be a crazy night, I’m not sure how they’re going to work the logistics! Maybe good to head over to islands when you’re done doing whatever Mardi Gras stuff u wanna do til Studios side calms down.
Love the video missing universal
Please go to Kool and the Gang . My favorite band . I would like to see them thru your eyes
My family (grandma included) did the dine and ride last year, it was the best experience ever! 🎉
that's such a fun thing to do as a family!
New Orleans Theme event 😊😊😊😊
I am the SAME way with bananas 🤣
we've discovered this very specific niche of people hahaa!!
Good morning Jackie how are you happy Sunday morning to you and I hope you having amazing day and you are amazing supporter
21:07 Bro SECOND time, you’re sitting next to your wife 😂
Awwwwww u rock!!
I'm the same as Sam about bananas. I read in a blood type book that if you have Type A blood, you don't like bananas. 😊
interesting!
for example the best bannas for banna foster are the ones closet to almost going soft without going too soft .
I like them
More ripe!
I’m sorry Jackie but the way you kept saying cinname (I think that’s how you spell it lol) had me cracking up 😂😂😂
Wait did I say cinnamon weird? lol!! I have no idea! 😂
Bananas foster is bananas, brown and white sugar with Brady and banana liqueur. Sugar becomes Carmel if it reduces. I’m surprised that there isn’t a dairy element as bananas foster is always served over ice cream.
Great food review! Everything looked so good and it was Between Two Ferns with 🌿 Jackie 🌿 😂
Do you recall how early the parade virtual queue starts and do you have to be on site?
Oh my goodness yes I was totally between two ferns! 😂😂😂
For the coconut club do you need a pass to get it? Are the samples included? Me and girlfriend are visiting in early March so excited!
no pass to get in, coconut club is open w no cover charge. Samples not included, this was just for this opening day event. But you can get all the food in the park, and I recommend the food and beverage card I showed! Great value.
I saw my husband and I in front of Horror MakeUp! Thanks for throwing us some beads 💜💛💚
Awesome and yaaaayy!! So glad my aim has improved haha! Or maybe it was Sam, he is an ace at throwing!
if you ever want to try a delicous banna foster come up to charleston sc and check liberty street food hall or city bistro sometimes they make a banna foster wich is delicous and even a banna pudding parifa made with real bannas
I’ll have to make a note of that!
You should try Tibby’s in Altamonte. The owners and chefs are from New Orleans.
They carry the Mardi Gras beers. Last year they told me they once supplied to Universal Orlando. This restaurant is 10 min away from my house and it's just awesome!
I’ve had this place on my list for a while, def want to try them out!
I film with the sony a7siii. Its basically the entire studio. 😂😂😂😂
Jackie and Sam, I saw you on Mr. Marrow video throwing beads.
You were having a great time.❤
Yea we had a great time, so fun that so many of our friends got clips of us in there videos and on insta too! Nothing like being on the float and looking out over the crowds!
How do u get a spot on a parade float so you can throw out beads to park guest?? Hey jackie
Hi Philip! I explain how in the video, there are 3 ways :) ride and dine, passholder spot, or day-of virtual line.
Our girl is everywhere this past week
Ya knooooow it
it depends on if people like sweet or sour bannas
Whoot! Whoot! Party party party! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ Thanks for bringing us along. ❤
- western NY Aimee
I love having you along, Aimee!
I need you to ask next time where do I sign up to help hand glitter the float instead of riding on it?!
Oh I wish I knew this! I think it’s only team members (employees). I’d love to do that too if they allowed guests to do it!
Is that sunburn under your eyes? If so, dab Apple Cider Vinegar on it to take the sting out.
Does sam live in America now
My favorite meal from the festival so far is the maple salmon from the Canadian booth. I was definitely not expecting it to be so good.
I made the mistake of starting with the king cake. That dish is meant for 2 or 3 people, not one. 😅
Saw you & Sam on the float on Paging Mr Morrow's video 🎉🎶📿👑🎉🎶📿👑
Eat Gumbo with a spoon , but the Gumbo need more liquid .
Yea true
I'm a big fan of You and Sam .
@ thank you so much!!!!
Why have you not been podcasting?
Aw man we want to Jeremy, just been busy with a lot of other things! Hopefully we can start again this year. We do love doing it.
well ❤️🩹 Mardi gras 🎭 is so much fun 😊
