Minnie Mouse Helps Cast Members Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort 2nd Annual Golf Cart Parade

Hi everyone!

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort put on its 2nd annual Cinco de Mayo Parade today, with a variety of decorated golf carts and enthusiastic Cast Members in colorful costumes. We didn’t make it last year since we didn’t know about it, but they did a fantastic job today putting on the celebration! Minnie Mouse and both Walt Disney World Ambassadors were in attendance, and made for even even more festive occasion.

Cast Members put a lot of work into their carts, and there were several ribbons they could win.

We actually were asked to help judge the parade as well, so we ended up seeing the parade from two angles as it turned around at the pool.

Here is our video of the parade, and then check out the photos!

Walt Disney World Ambassador Nathanial Palma drove Minnie Mouse.

Walt Disney World Ambassador Caitlin Busscher sat at the back of the first cart, along with a Cast Member from Disney’s Coronado Springs.

Each entry had its own flavor, with different costumes as well.

This was my personal favorite cart, though they were all so much fun!

Because this cart sat for a few minutes, I was able to capture some of the details more closely.

At least two of the carts had hidden Mickeys.

Here is a look at the side of the cart.

Even the wheels were decorated.

They called themselves “Team Taco”.

All of the carts were decorated vibrantly.

The Cast Members at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort really were in the Cinco de Mayo spirit.
