Soulfully at Disney Springs
Guests visiting Disney Springs this February will be treated to jazz-inspired performances, new art displays, special food menus, and more as part of the new Soulfully experience!
New art displays inspired by Disney-Pixar’s “Soul” will be on display that were created by up-and-coming Black artists including Bee Harris, Bianca Pastel, Arrington Porter, and Cory Van Lew. Originally developed by a collaboration with Disney-Pixar as part of the HUE Unlimited collection of wearable art, the work captures each artist’s vision of the movie.
If you are lucky enough to be at Disney Springs on Motown Mondays, Jazz Thursdays, or Smooth Sundays, you are in for an extra-special treat! Live jazz musicians will be performing all over Disney Springs playing melodies that are sure to stir your soul.
The magic doesn’t end there though! Several dining locations throughout Disney Springs will offer special menu items celebrating Soulfully and Black culture including Amorette’s Patisserie with “Soul” and “The Princess and the Frog” inspired sweet treats. Many retail locations at Disney Springs will also highlight products from Black designers, artists, and visionaries.
