Foodie Guide to Celebrate Soulfully 2024

January 23, 2024

February is Black History Month and to celebrate, the culinary teams at Disney Parks are bringing on the flavor with delicious eats and sips honoring Black heritages and cuisines. Both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort are joining in on the Celebrate Soulfully festivities and they did not disappoint with this tasty lineup.

All throughout the year guests can enjoy music, food, and artwork celebrating Black cultures at Disney Parks, but during February, there’s even more fun to enjoy!

This year, there are plenty of new delights that guests won’t want to miss, including the Proud Snacks Petit Cake at Amorette's Patisserie or the Sweet Potato Fries Poutine at Disneyland Hotel. But that’s not all. There’s also some returning favorites coming back, like the Sweet Potato Lunch Box Tart at Woody’s Lunch Box and Banana Pudding at Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue.
