Among these offerings will be four art displays inspired by the film, created by emerging Black artists: Bee Harris, Bianca Pastel, Arrington Porter and Cory Van Lew. Originally developed in collaboration with Disney and Pixar as part of a HUE Unlimited collection of wearable art, each work reflects the artist’s interpretation of the animated film.

Three nights per week—Motown Mondays, Jazz Thursdays and Smooth Sundays—musicians can be found performing throughout Disney Springs. Select dining locations will also offer special menu items, including Amorette’s Patisserie offering sweet treats inspired by “Soul” and “The Princess and the Frog.” Several Disney Springs retail locations will also be highlighting products from Black designers, artists, and visionaries.

Disney Resort hotels are getting in on the soulful fun, too! As part of the “Movies Under the Stars” program, select resort hotels will show films celebrating Black culture throughout February. These complimentary screenings are available to resort hotel guests.
