Planning a Disney Springs trip in May? Don’t miss new cupcakes at Sprinkles, Star Wars sweets, and a Frontera Cocina’s fiesta!
May has arrived, which means several new food options at Disney Springs. With so many restaurants to choose from, diners can find it tough to choose what to eat.
Several food and beverage locations have special limited-time options in May. Guests can try the May cookies, cakes, and cold brews at Gideon’s Bakehouse. The popular Salt & Straw presents guests with flower-power ice cream flavors for the month starting May 2. In addition, City Works Eatery & Pour House designed many new menu items for guests to try on its everyday menu.

May the 4th be upon us, so Walt Disney World will have Star Wars treats at The Ganachery and Amorette’s Patisserie. However, we have a few more Disney Springs updates to share with you.
Disney Springs Dining Update: Sprinkles Cupcakes

- German Chocolate (Available May 26 – June 15): Light chocolate cake topped with fresh coconut and crunchy pecans laced with caramel.
Cinco de Mayo at Frontera Cocina
Of course, an authentic Mexican food place would celebrate Cinco de Mayo. However, this year, Frontera Cocina is expanding this holiday to a five-day celebration starting May 1. Since Cinco de Mayo (May 5) falls on a Monday, the year-round $7 margarita Monday special at Frontera Cocina will be very popular that day. Music will also be featured this weekend with a Mariachi band all weekend (Thurs/Fri 6–9 p.m. | Sat/Sun 12–3 p.m. | Mon 4–7 p.m.).A DJ provides music from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Saturday through Monday nights.
