Welcome to EPCOT. The park for people who love characters, rides (hello, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), food (there’s a World Showcase FULL of great meals), and, of course, drinks. Yep, drinking around the world has become a pretty big thing in EPCOT, but there’s one special day in May that attracts even MORE people to this park. The crowds showed up at EPCOT on May 5th. Any guesses why?

EPCOT
May 5th is Cinco de Mayo, and while Disney didn’t announce any special Cinco de Mayo offerings, we spotted plenty of people in EPCOT ready to celebrate! Wait until you see what we mean.
If you were wondering, the crowds showed UP for Cinco de Mayo at EPCOT. The line to get into La Cava del Tequila was pretty long during our visit. Who doesn’t want a margarita on Cinco de Mayo, right?

La Cava del Tequila
Elsewhere in EPCOT, we spotted long lines at the Flower and Garden Festival food booths, too. Everyone was in the mood for a drink on this sunny May day! (We can’t blame them) But it wasn’t just drinks people were after. Over in the Morocco Pavilion, we found a LONG line of people waiting to enter the limited-time Annual Passholder lounge.

Annual Passholder lounge line
This new lounge is a great spot to grab a light snack, soak in some air conditioning, and even meet a character! As the name implies, it’s only for Annual Passholders, so make sure you have proof of your membership before you get in line.

Hey, Genie!
Yeah, it was a BUSY day in EPCOT. If you’re planning to drink around the world during your next visit to the park, make sure to stop for a snack along the way and drink plenty of water! Here’s a secret: some of those Disney drinks are shockingly strong. Trust us.
