May the 4th at Walt Disney World feels more like Star Wars again
Walt Disney World is bringing a new lineup of Star Wars-themed food, drinks, and collectibles for May the 4th, with most of the offerings centered at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and additional experiences at Disney Springs.
This year’s release stands out for how closely many of the items connect to the Star Wars universe itself. A combination of Batuu-inspired designs and original trilogy callbacks, the lineup reflects places, characters and moments fans love.
Most items began May 1, with select novelties arriving May 4 and some offerings continuing through May 31.

New and returning Star Wars food at Hollywood Studios
Several themed food items will be available throughout the park. New offerings include the Kerkoiden Blue Cake at the Milk Stand, Your Chosen Path Cupcake with a hidden lightsaber color at Backlot Express, and drinks like The Roaring Loth-Cat and Three Suns Over Batuu at Oga’s Cantina.
Returning favorites include the Wookiee Cookie at Backlot Express, which is a delicious treat of two oatmeal cookies with vanilla cream filling.
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo will also feature updated dishes including Endorian Fried Chicken Tip-Yip, Shaak Pot Roast with Kublag Mash, Sweet Puffer Pig Ribs, and the Endorian Chicken Tip-Yip Salad.

Pink Milk arrives at Walt Disney World
One of the most notable additions is the arrival of Pink Milk at the Milk Stand in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
The drink has long been associated with Disneyland, so its debut at Walt Disney World gives returning guests something they have been waiting for. A Pink Milk Cooler with rum will also be available.

Walt Disney World vs Disneyland for May the 4th
Both Walt Disney World and Disneyland are celebrating May the 4th, but the offerings are structured differently. Disneyland’s May the 4th offerings align with the new expanded timeline, whereas Walt Disney World’s mirror many of the same items, but without the expanded characters and music within its Galaxy’s Edge land.
Walt Disney World spreads the celebration across multiple locations, including multiple spots at Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs, and introduces Pink Milk to the Florida park.

Early reactions on social media have shown this is among the most popular items in the Star Wars Day lineup. It’s one of the first pieces that uses imagery of Oga’s Cantina itself.

A character-shaped drink vessel styled after a Bantha, complete with textured fur details and curved horns.

The horns, the shaggy hair, the saddle, it all adds up to a playful sipper that bring fans back to the creature’s debut in “Star Wars: A New Hope (Episode IV).”

Where to find it:
Mobile order only May 4-5, then starting May 6, 2026, it will be available at Kat Saka’s Kettle while supplies last.
One of the most iconic moments in “Return of the Jedi” was a favorite classic toy playset of mine growing up. Now, Jabba’s sail barge is a sought-after popcorn vessel.

The LEGO Store at Disney Springs is also hosting a limited-time Star Wars activation through May 4, adding a more hands-on element to the celebration. Guests can take part in a complimentary make-and-take mini N1 Starfighter build, giving visitors a small collectible tied directly to The Mandalorian era.
The activation also includes a mural build, themed photo opportunities, and giveaways throughout the event. Inside the store, LEGO Smart Play demonstrations showcase interactive builds that use sensors, lights, and sound to create real-time responses as guests play, adding another layer to the experience beyond traditional displays.
Together, these offerings turn Disney Springs into more than just a stop for themed desserts, giving fans another way to engage with Star Wars during the May the 4th celebration.
