Throughout the year, Disney Parks honors Black heritage and culture with Celebrate Soulfully, where our cast members bring their cultures to life in our parks through authentic food, music, and experiences.

During the month of February, Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort join together to honor and experience Black culture through cuisines, one bite and sip at a time – with many offerings inspired and created by our diverse Disney cast members. Both coasts bring these delicious flavors and traditions to the plate and glass for people of all ages and backgrounds to join in on the soulful celebration. No detail is too small when it comes to our Celebrate Soulfully cuisine!

At Disneyland Resort, enjoy new can’t-miss chef inspirations such as the Shrimp & Grits from Café Orleans and thePeach Cobbler Donut from Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe. Over on the East Coast, Walt Disney World Resort is bringing back popular dishes from last February’s Cooking With Soul feature and highlighting new food and beverage  creations infused with Walt Disney World cast stories and heritage carried by Black-owned distillers. This February, try dishes returning with a twist such as the Peach Cobbler Whiskey Cake at Tiffins Restaurant or brand-new Soulful Sunday Dinners at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. While visiting, keep an eye out for other soulful offerings across property to continue celebrating soulfully throughout the year.

  • Can’t wait to Celebrate Soulfully this year! Everything sounds delicious….especially the peach cobbler donut.

  • These all look amazing!

  • Hi everyone! It’s worth noting that Barcelona lounge only sells the whiskey tart in the morning for breakfast (until 11am). Seems odd to me as its an alcohol infused dessert, and this article doesn’t mention anything about it being only mornings! Just FYI because I went specifically to Coronado Springs tonight for this dessert and was disappointed to find out it’s a breakfast-only option.
