The BEST Of Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras 2023 | Snacks, Drinks, Parade & More At Universal Studios

[@hairdresser1300]

That was 100 percent adorable seeing Alan being apart of the beat builders. Loved learning from Laura Sauls. Her enthusiasm was contagious

[@bellemoon1008]

Alan’s “influencer documentary” narrations give me LIFE!! 😂😂😂😂

[@ThereseDavidson]

Alan smelling a candle in the gift shop: ”mm, i like that” Molly: ”i feel like mardi gras candles smells like alcohol and regret” 😂

[@Mammoth_Club]

No lies detected.

[@technicolorstratosphere]

I know it’s been said before, but the way y’all review food and drinks is top-notch and so enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the consistently amazing uploads, this channel is truly my favorite right now.

💯💯💯💯💯

[@frankswif3y]

I’ve seen other vloggers switching up their styles because of you guys. You guys are the best!

[@jessicaclark4922]

Ok, Alan falling right in line with the beat builders was the most natural and EPIC happenings ever. The best! ❤😊😍😁👌❤ Love ya'll!!! Beingnyasssssss

[@sherbear8333]

Y’all are hilarious….Alan as a beat builder was the best! He’s a natural. 😊 As always, your coverage of this event-Stellar! Lastly, cast and team members are what makes our experiences magical and special. Show them some love 💕

[@laurenjp1491]

Fun fact: we get the snowshoe maple donuts here but they’re called “beaver tails”. I’m sure Duckfist approves. 🤣🇨🇦

[@jodilee10128yk]

Thanks for clarifying! I was about to chime in on that as well. Glad Molly seemed to like it. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@katnskye]

I was going to say, I think it’s a beaver tail

[@toyaliens]

Epcot used to have them at the Canada pavilion too

[@christinak3509]

Beaver Tails are delightful! I didn't know they existed until I went to Canada a few years ago and discovered them. I wish they were more readily available here in the US!

[@laurenjp1491]

@@christinak3509 For sure! The US has many treats we don’t, but we love beaver tails. My fave is the killaloe sunrise. 💛🍋

[@tracidunlap189]

The Bloody Mary mix is called Uncle Dicks! I loved this episode! So much fun and go Alan! So much rhythm

[@kristinsmith3533]

The Canadian Cinnamon dough thing you tried looked like a beavertail. If you ever come to Canada you need to try them. The Cinnamon sugar one is my favorite. They are much better here. More dough more toppings. Not dry.

[@LuluVl15]

This channel has seriously become my favorite. Every video is amazing from the theme to the editing, it's all so good. Molly and Alan show such enthusiasm at every video it shows how much they love the parks and makes the difference.

[@wheelchairhiphop]

More cowbell…and candles! 😂 Alan you forgot “I’d like to thank Molly for “protecting the sandwich”.” 😂😂😂😂

[@ambermcvay5028]

Alan’s full commitment to the Beat Builders performance was everything. Alan, your facial expressions are the best! My husband and I are always waiting for them in the videos. Loved this video. Hope Bob Villa hears about the honorable mention 😂

[@OldDanielle]

Adriana from Iconic Eats walking behind you while you’re talking about the hot dog 😂

[@heathern7356]

I have a fever, and the prescription is MORE COWBELL! Great job!

[@BeantownMrs]

As an Indian person, I love that Universal has an India booth! I hope you and Alan try the pav bhaji and the nimbu paani. Those are my favorite things to eat and drink! 🤤🤤🤤

[@amypowell7365]

Omg Alan and the Beat Builders!!! What I didn’t know I needed today !

[@beccas588]

I love how we can always tell if the food is good. With Molly it shows in her face with Alan he like does this like smile giggle breathing thing with his mouth full. Ya both are charming and adorable!

[@lykeleia]

You guys really are the best at reviewing food! I think those of the videos that I actually tend to rewatch most! Between Molly’s appreciation of all kinds of flavors, to Alan’s culinary skills, the two of you just review and detail everything so well. Also I love that Alan’s tell when something is delicious and done right is that he takes a bite and immediately giggles/chuckles.

[@MicheleKlinger]

Universal’s food/drinks/theming for these speciality festivals and events get better and better each year. Mardi Gras looks like so much fun.

[@cuteutgirl04]

Um. Alan’s stint with the Beat Builder’s was epic. EPIC!

[@kayajackson50]

This makes me so hungry! 33:13 That’s the girl from Delish in the back. I love her. She’s hilarious!

[@sm-ze2gv]

24:50 another set of KZbinrs. Lindsayland. But I like the girl from delish as well.

[@gamberlane]

Alan in the Beat Builders! That was amazing!

[@prettiestpigeon]

What a great video! I love that you were able to interview those team members for extra insight. I hope y’all let us know how bead throwing goes versus bead catching. 💜💛💚

[@melaniemarks8682]

I've lived in southern Louisiana my entire life and attended a parade just yesterday. I can tell you catching beads is 100% a competitive sport. You want to walk away from the parade with so many beads around your neck that they are sliding down your shoulders. Love watching ya'll and laissez les bons temps rouler!

[@janettheriault6809]

New cow bell ringer!!!! Awesome, Alan!

[@lauraw2074]

Alan as one of the Beat Builders was everything 😂👌

[@codiewoodhouse1988]

Awww man, I love you guys. Highlights were the terrible puns from Molly and the fantastic cow bell ringing from Alan 🥰

[@notyournormalg1]

that jazz club looked SO MUCH like the Copa Cabana that Ricky Ricardo worked at on I Love Lucy. And I was on the edge of my seat looking at it.

[@kennethcoleman1378]

@10:58 Fred over there looking a little like Barney Rubble and less like the strapping leader of the Mystery Gang lol.

[@vloggerfan496]

Love the shout out to Bob Villa. I spent many days watching This Old House with my dad growing up.

[@iamjackspyramidshapedhelmet]

Catching up on some older MAM videos! Love me some Mardi Gras. I hope Alan didn’t have to flash his chest at anyone for beads 😂

[@TheDancingqueen90]

😂 I cannot stress enough how much I loved watching the beat builders part of the video. 😂

[@kimjoneswalton]

It's the British narration of the maple donut-thingy tasting for me! It's that part that made me hit subscribe, lol.

[@christinebetty1052]

I just love Mollys face when she gets the first big fork full of cheese

[@kates7277]

Love seeing so many countries represented in food…eat your heart out, EPCOT!

[@toyaliens]

Lol

[@wdwexploreandchill]

The Oh Baby beer and twisted potato looked soooo good! I don’t know if any combo can get better than that for me.

[@christinak3509]

I love Mardi Gras at Universal and can't wait to go this year. One of my favorite theme park memories of all time was watching the parade with my 15-year-old son. As we were getting in place, he was sort of rolling his eyes and thinking it was going to be laaaaaaaaaame. But, yeah, bead catching is a competitive sport, and we had the best time trying to outdo each other. For that half hour, he forgot about being a "cool" teenager and just completely got into the Mardi Gras spirit. (He won by about 10 necklaces, going in for a rematch this year!) Thanks for the great review, and I saw a few food items that I plan to put on my list!

[@chelseapaine6290]

You guys tried a whole bunch of things that none of the other vloggers did, and this was one of my favorites lately. Mardi Gras is my favorite event in all of Orlando, all year round. Beats Christmas hands down. Also- while you’re trying the hot dog, is that Adrianna from Delish behind you?

[@Kattatomic]

Thank you for doing such a thorough and entertaining video covering this years Mardi gras! I loved the little BTS scoop regarding how they design the themeing each year, and when I saw more body types represented in the parade I honestly cried. It means so much to me to see that amazing improvement from Universal!!

[@karikober8599]

Appreciate all of your videos, tips and tricks, and overall coverage of these fun events. Also love the commentary and witty one liners. Just a quick thanks for your content, keeping it fresh and fun. You guys are awesome!

[@peaceandlove333]

Just an FYI Colombian food isn’t necessarily spicy. Ají is pretty mild. My main issue with WDW is that for Colombian-labeled items they usually add spices that Colombian cuisine doesn’t normally include. I’d love to see you guys try authentic Colombian food. Thanks for the review y’all!

[@aLy0op]

"Look at the Beh-beh, good luck for me... But not a baby" " 🤣 yes. 100%

[@designdoctor247]

7:23 🤣😂🤣😂Allen u deserve an Oscar for this!!!

[@stephanievinson7883]

OMG, Alan playing the cowbell was awesome!

[@apenner1121]

Great video. I loved all the foods that you tried and your honest reviews of them. Also, thank you for standing up for the TM's. They go through a lot working there to make our day great and they deserve so much credit and love. We'll be there in about a month and we are so excited to try all of the new foods and some of the ones we have always loved.

[@BeautyInTheMagic]

Alan’s Safari Commentary is one of my favorite things 🤣🦁

[@stacythomas423]

Omg Alan was absolutely hilarious 😂 wasn’t expecting that haha

[@Kay-hh3vy]

Alan looks like he fits right in with the beat builders😅 Was dying laughing!

[@wanderpow]

I totally should have tried more of the drinks when I was there. Great look at all the drinks especially.

[@Moviestillbaby]

Hi Alan! Love hearing you try to pronounce things in Portuguese. In Brazilian Portuguese when saying things with the letter J in them like “Queijo” we pronounce it just like J is said in English with the “ja” sound but maybe with a hint of a Z sound. So the phonetic way to say it would be “Kay-jzo.” Not like in Spanish with the “ya” or “ha” sound. Hope that helps!

[@lisasheets5718]

You guys makes me want to go to Disney and Universal Studios for fun. Again keep up the great work!

[@jesseleboeuf2315]

As a New Orleanian, I love seeing theme parks’ take on Mardi Gras😂 their idea of what we eat is WILD

[@artemisag]

I am from the UK, the English breakfast at Harry Potter - not really an English breakfast 😂

Love Universal videos and Mardi Gras is second only to HHN!🎉👍 Love the hats and your shirt Molly!👍

[@barbehrhart]

Mollys “GumGo” bad joke looked like it physically hurt Alan😂

[@candaceeffle6552]

Alan love the voice overs and Molly acting them out hilarious. You guts are wonderful just spectacular in everything you do. God has blessed you both (n Max) Love ya guys. 😘 🤗 😍

[@moviebeck]

Never been to Mardi Gras at Universal before. Heading there next week and excited to try all the different food options! Thanks to your reviews I now know a few items I must try!

[@rachaeltew7356]

Was the Bloody Mary mix ‘Waggin’ the dog’? It is amazing and I loved it when I lived in Houston! And I know it’s packaged there. Or you might be thinking of Uncle Dick’s Top Dog. Also delicious! The Waggin’ was more of a cartoon dog and I think the Uncle’s has a bull dog. But both have more than one level of heat.

[@krisb3576]

I was thinking she was referring to Uncle Dick’s with regular jalapeño and habanero.

[@krisb3576]

Oh and I live in Houston, if you need me to mail it to your P.O. Box in exchange for a mutually agreed charitable donation, let me know!

[@taylor7177]

@@krisb3576 I was thinking Uncle Dick's, too!

[@TripNWithRed]

We love your videos and I knew you would do such a great job covering Universal Mardi Gras. The foods look so delicious. I love the Universal Mardi Gras event. It's so much fun and the parades are great.

[@RickiMinaj23]

Fried dough, or as my tribe would say, Fried Bread! 😍 My favorite. I can eat so much fried bread with honey butter or powdered sugar and honey or cinnamon sugar and honey. Yuummmm

[@CMGin]

Alan looked like a giant holding that sirloin and chimichurri plate. 😂

[@kimalbert7148]

Ohh my Alan that was Awesome! You fit perfectly with them. Live that Best Life there! You kept the beat too!!

Love your videos. Definitely love your PSA announcements. Love giving cast compliments on my Disney experience app. Love your Guy Diamond on your shirt ♥️

[@wendykenney8145]

Yay for Alan! And Molly I do love your first hat best too! FYI - spaetzle is actually supposed to be more like a mini dumpling than pasta (thanks to our year of having a German exchange student}

[@sallyb4996]

I just did the ride and dine. Delicious dinner at Lombard's and got to throw beads from the Pegasus float. It was a hoot and I highly recommend. The folks running the float experience are amazingly organized.

[@ev12345_ev]

Y’all are the cutest and coolest! I look forward to y’all’s videos! You guys have the best energy! Also, it’s so awesome that you guys called out the rude people! Thanks for reminding folks to be kind to the cast members! It really shows how thoughtful y’all are ❤

[@greenies9449]

We are so looking forward to our 1st Mardi Gras. Haven't been to USA since before kids....16 years later and celebrating a big bday we cannot wait!! Thanks Molly & Alan for a great video. 👍 🦺👑🇬🇧🛫🛬🇺🇸

[@Wookietzu]

I love that you showcase the specialty beers too. Most others do not which makes you guys more awesome!!

[@honeysuckle754]

I can't believe Molly and Alan didn't try the Nikuman Bun Sampler at the Japan food booth! While they might not be Pandora cheeseburger pod level, they were quite good.

[@jennamahaffy9553]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏 I NEED MORE COWBELL!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏 LOOKS LIKE A GREAT TIME!!! When do you ever get to be iij involved in performances how awsome!! Gotta say as a Japan fan that okonomiyaki looked a bit strange but it is an interesting choice to see at a theme park. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I got to build a beat🖤🖤 I love you guys so great🖤🖤🖤

[@HoneyGun]

Im so excited I found your channel. I realized a few weeks ago I hadn’t seen a video with you in so long when it was a daily routine for such a long time. I was so happy it recommended the channel to me so I can watch again. Your content is the best!!

Yay!! Welcome!

Wow I am sitting here mouth watering from Alan’s descriptions of each food item. You make everything sound delicious 😁. Ahhhh Molly tried a flat donut 😂💐

I’m 99% certain that Beat Builder was our Sammie on Galactic Starcruiser. ❤️

Mardi Gras fun fact: Nola has the largest Mardi Gras, but Mobile, AL is the birthplace of Mardi Gras! 💜💛💜

I was just about to post that! Mobile is my birth city so I wish Universal would acknowledge Mobile during their Mardi Gras “season”…but I know a lot of people just think of NOLA🎭

I’ve never been to Mardi Gras at Universal. Will be there in two weeks and can’t wait to try EVERYTHING!!!

[@luckyfrogs]

Hey! Love watching you guys and love your many tips and hidden “secrets” you always share. Just an fyi, during your PSA, you were talking about cast members and going to Disney to say thank you to them, which is very nice, but this video is in Universal 😉 🤣 still loved watching it! Keep up the great work!
