8 Ways to “Celebrate Soulfully” During Black History Month at Walt Disney World Resort

January 25, 2024

Walt Disney World Resort is thrilled to “Celebrate Soulfully” during Black History Month in February with vibrant art, soul stirring music, savory soul food and a limited-edition pin, embracing the richness of Black heritage.

Through the talents of wonderful Cast Members and collaborations with a myriad of Black-owned businesses, guests can “Celebrate Soulfully” across the resort throughout the year, but especially during Black History Month. Explore some ways to honor Black culture, heritage and contributions at Walt Disney World Resort this February.

  1. Ring in the Celebration with Michael James Scott as the Honorary Parade Grand Marshal

Broadway performer and Orlando native Michael James Scott, well known for his portrayal of Genie in the hit Broadway musical, “Aladdin,” will be the honorary grand marshal for the “Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade” at Magic Kingdom Park on Feb. 6. His appearance helps kick off our month-long celebration of Black heritage and culture. Guests can catch Michael James Scott along the parade route all the way down to Main Street, U.S.A., around 3 p.m. ET.*

  1. Collect the New Princess Tiana Tiara Pin

With the theme of dreams coming true, and just in time for Black History Month, a new Princess Tiana tiara pin is available at locations around Disney theme parks and soon on shopDisney.com. The limited-release pin was designed by Brittany L. Smith, a senior production designer with Walt Disney Imagineering. The pin is inspired by Brittany’s interpretation of the tiara-topped water tower featured in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Smith is also a designer for Tiana’s Audio-Animatronics character in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, which opens at Magic Kingdom Park and Disneyland Park this year.

  1. Celebrate the Arts at EPCOT International Festival of the Arts

Guests can check out the artistic designs of three Black artists participating in EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, which is a grand celebration of artistic expression in all forms. The three Black artists are taking part on various days through Feb. 19.

  • Ryan Riller (Feb. 12-19)
  • Yesenia Moises (Feb.13-19)
  • Larissa Marantz (Feb. 14-19)

Also, guests can’t miss the performances by the following Black artists lighting up the stage at America Gardens Theatre during the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series on select nights during the festival:**

  • Steven Taylor (“The Lion King” - Jan. 26, 28 and 29, Feb. 1, 3, 5 and 6)
  • Kissy Simmons (“The Lion King” - Jan. 27, 30 and 31, Feb. 2, 4, 7 and 8)
  • Bradley Gibson (“The Lion King” - Feb. 10, 13, 14, 16, 17 and 19)
  • Michael James Scott (“Aladdin” - Feb. 9, 11, 12, 15, 18 and 19)

  1. Explore Artistic Expressions at Disney Springs Art Walk

Guests can head over to Disney Springs for food, music, shopping– and some colorful artwork by several Black artists. Guests should take a stroll past the Disney Springs Art Walk where they will find murals painted by Black artists such as Ernest Shaw, Nneka Jones and Nardstar.

  1. Check out the African Art exhibit in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park

A new African art installation is coming to the Pizzafari gate at Disney’s Animal Kingdom beginning February 1. Featured artwork from internationally renowned Nigerian-American artist Victor Ekpuk explores historical narratives and contemporary African diaspora.

  1. Be Inspired by the work of Floyd Norman, Disney’s First Black Animator

Floyd Norman, Disney's first credited Black animator, helped animate characters Kaa and Shere Khan from “The Jungle Book.” At Conservation Station's Animation Experience in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, guests will receive step-by-step guidance on how to illustrate their own version of the popular Disney Animation and Pixar Animation Studios characters that Norman helped to animate as well as others such as Bruce from “Finding Nemo;” Tick-Tock from “Peter Pan;” or Scar from “The Lion King.”

  1. Indulge in “Cooking with Soul" Cuisine
