Hi Michael!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm always happy to help out a fellow Palmetto State resident. I'm excited to hear you have a trip coming up in a few months. You've stopped by the perfect place to get answers to any questions that you have during the planning process.
You've picked a great week to visit the
Walt Disney World Resort. If you are a Star Wars fan, spending May the Fourth on the planet of Batuu is exactly where you want to be. While there have not been any announcements just yet about any specific plans, I do expect there to be some special offerings on this day. Last year, there were several
sweet treats and beverages that were introduced on May 4th and were offered until the end of the month. They were found at various locations in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and other dining locations at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Check back to the
Disney Parks Blog periodically leading up to your stay for any up-to-date announcements.
As far as May 5th, Walt Disney World has not released any special events on this date. I would expect the Mexican pavilion in the World Showcase to be a focal point for Guests visiting EPCOT to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. This holiday honors Mexico's military victory in the 1862 Battle of Puebla. There are some fantastic restaurants in this pavilion, with my favorite being
San Angel Inn Restaurante. There are several dishes that I have tried that I would order time and time again, including the Carne Asada. The food, coupled with the amazing ambiance, make this the perfect place to dine on this day.
Michael, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney.
Happy planning!
Greg
