Celebrate Soulfully is an event that honors Black heritage and culture at Walt Disney World as well as Disneyland. While it is an ongoing, year-round celebration, there are some extra special festivities during Black History Month in February. And that includes special food and drinks at some of the Disney restaurants!

Unless otherwise stated, you can find these specialty food and drink offerings throughout the entire month of February.
