From Universal Studios’ Mardi Gras parade in Orlando, Florida. We have annual passes and go all the time. This year we’ve seen Kelly Clarkson and the Village People, and have gotten to ride on two floats – The one with the giant bull and the riverboat.

And I’m sure I bought the CD somewhere along the way.
