    The first event is Wednesday, May 1st, where they will be celebrating Disney’s Hollywood Studios 30th Anniversary.

    “On this day, we celebrate three decades worth of movie magic and super heroic action. Meet some of your favorite Disney and Disney•Pixar pals throughout the park for special photo ops. Then, be sure to bring home a piece of history when you purchase 30th Anniversary souvenirs.”

    The second event is Saturday, May 4th, to celebrate May the 4th Be With You.

    “Star Wars fans of all ages won’t want to miss this stellar night. Don your best cosplay and blast off to Star Wars Launch Bay where you’ll encounter Chewbacca with Rey, Kylo Ren with Captain Phasma, and more! As you explore the park you may even meet some friendly ewoks—but beware—you could also find those loyal to the dark side. Themed merchandise and tasty treats will also be available.”
    If you plan on attending this event make sure you’re familiar with Disney’s costume guidelines!

    The price for tickets purchased in advance is $125 per adult or child, plus tax—or purchased on the day of the event for $129 per adult or child, plus tax.
