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?

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?

You know people are serious about this holiday when there’s a line forming before La Cava del Tequila even opens! When we stopped by around 10:45AM, there was already a pretty long queue forming. This EPCOT bar typically opens at 11AM, so don’t waste your time walking all the way to the Mexico Pavilion before then.

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.

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.

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.

Happy Cinco de Mayo to all who are celebrating! In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
