Hiya Domonique!
Welcome to
planDisney, where we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge and experience with Guests like you to help you plan the most magical Disney vacation possible! It is never too early to plan your next visit to
The Most Magical Place on Earth, and I’m excited to hear you are already planning your trip for next May!
I visited
Walt Disney World early May this year and have a trip planned for May 2026 as well! It is a wonderful time to visit, especially early May, because the crowds aren’t quite as high as they are during summer break, and you can catch the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, my favorite festival in Walt Disney World. While the Flower and Garden Festival draws larger crowds, with the incredible gardens, Character topiaries, the Garden Rocks Concert Series, and spring-inspired culinary delights at the Outdoor Kitchens, it is well worth the visit. During our last visit, we saw groups of athletes in the theme parks from Summit Competition and Championship, the major cheer and dance competition held at
ESPN Wide World of Sports. It didn’t make the parks feel overly crowded, but there was a large presence from the athletes and the attendees of this competition. From what I can find, this will be held again from April 29 through May 10, 2026. Outside of this event and the Flower and Garden Festival, there are no other events currently scheduled or historically occurring.
I hope this information helps you plan a visit to
Walt Disney World next May that is practically perfect in every way! If you have additional questions, please visit us here! At
planDisney, we’re all ears and happy to help find answers.
See Ya Real Soon!
