Okay, I broke my run of never setting foot on Universal property and there's so much great stuff to see and do. Lots of shots to enjoy including some of my very dear friend Woody Woodpecker. I did him for Universal at a NATPE convention in NOLA in the late 70's (as well as Chilly Willy) and so I have an affinity for the loopy bird! A few rare shots from this event are shared in this gallery as well. I'm quite happy about that! Now, if I could come across another good friend from the same NATPE gig...Chilly Willy, and get a shot with him I'll be a happy little guy! But at least I got a pin of each character to add to my shoulder bag of character pins as well as a cap with both of them on it! YAY! OY! I'm such a toon-a-holic!!!! LOL! Lots to see from the 2 parks including details (including several Hidden Mickeys), special events, their Mardi Gras celebration and more! Enjoy!
