2026 Universal Mardi Gras Menu
Here is the 2026 Universal Mardi Gras Menu. These Mardi Gras menus at Universal include food from around the world. You’ll find treats from New Orleans (of course) to Jamaica to France and more!
Check out our guide to Special Events at Universal Orlando to learn more about the events around the parks.
Before we get started, let me introduce myself. My name is Amy, and I’m a Universal Travel Agent, a travel blogger, and a long-time Universal Annual Passholder.
My favorite time of the year at Universal is Mardi Gras, so this one is special to me! Contact me for more information. I’d love to help you book your Universal Orlando vacation!
If you’re flying into Orlando for your vacation, I recommend renting a car from Discount USA Car Rental. They offer the absolute best rates on rental cars; you don’t pay until you pick it up, and cancellation is free.
