Mardi Gras overlaps with President's Day this year and that's usually a big combo. Add in that there's no Mardi Gras at all but schools are still largely out for the entire week.
We considered MG week but declined out of fear of bringing back covid and forcing a quarrantine in our kids' classes. We'd feel terrible forcing paths to scramble for child care if we brought covid into a classroom. We visited before Christmas because they had enough time to home quarantine before starting again in January. I suspect there are a lot of families like us that are pushing back trips from spring to summer or later.
