Can you believe that it is already April? Pretty soon, all of the “It’s Gonna Be May” memes will be circulating reminding us that May is just around the corner. (I have to say that I love that meme year after year!) Disney’s Hollywood Studios has two important celebrations coming up in May. May 1 is the 30th Anniversary of the theme park while May 4th is commonly known as Star Wars Day. There will be some exciting and special happenings during for these two special occasions during the Disney After Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to celebrate!
