Happy Mardi Gras! The world of Disney never fails, and this year's festivities kicked off with an extra touch of magic. The real spectacle awaited at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort, where the annual Mardi Gras golf cart parade unfurled its vibrant colors and energy.
The procession, known as the pargo parade, embarked from the Riverside side of the resort, tracing a picturesque route alongside the Sassagoula River before culminating in the lively embrace of the French Quarter. Commencing around 10 am, the parade weaved its way through the resort's winding pathways, arriving at the French Quarter courtyard just after 11 am.
For the uninitiated, the Mardi Gras golf cart parade proves the boundless creativity of Disney's cast member family. From engineering to recreation, each segment of the resort puts forth its best foot, or rather, wheel, by transforming humble golf carts into whimsical works of art. And this year, the theme, “Celebrating Walt Disney World Parades of Past and Present,” sparked a tapestry of imagination and nostalgia.
The parade's grandeur unfolded in a crescendo of characters, each cart a mark to the enduring legacy of Disney's iconic parades. At the forefront, Walt Disney World Ambassadors Serena Arvizu and Shannon Smith-Conrad proudly led the procession, bearing aloft the banner adorned with the parade's theme. Behind them, stiltwalkers danced with grace, while a majestic horse drawn carriage carried Princess Tiana, her regal presence infusing the air with an aura of enchantment.
*Laissez les bons temps rouler!* Let the good times roll indeed, as the 2024 Mardi Gras golf cart parade at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort captured the essence of joy, camaraderie, and creative brilliance that define the magic of Disney.
With the help of golf carts, Mardi Gras becomes an unforgettable journey through time and wonder. As the sun sets on another spectacular celebration, the memories of this year's parade will linger, a testimony to the enduring magic of the happiest place on earth. Photos per BlogMickey.com
