food IS a theme park
EPCOT’s newest exhibit is officially open today!
The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure
Last month, it was announced that an exhibit inspired by Disney and Pixar’s latest film, Soul, would be moving into The American Adventure in EPCOT’s World Showcase. This exhibit, The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure, features the history of jazz and incorporates aspects from the film!
Streaming is a pretty big deal nowadays.

Take Disney, for example! The Walt Disney Company has made a major switch to a focus on streaming in the past year and announced over 100 new streaming titles. Well, audiences are definitely tuning in and two Disney+ titles brought MAJOR viewership at the end of 2020.
It’s been a busy week and a few days for Disney!
Festival of the Arts
With several changes in the theme parks, including Park Hopping returning and free MagicBands leaving, there’s been a lot of news! Plus, it’s the new year and Festival of the Arts has returned. On top of all that, several amazing Disney products and merchandise lines arrived on the internet this week, and we’re sharing all of them with you!
Hi, DFB Friends! We’re back with another EPCOT update!
Spaceship Earth
There isn’t a lot to report on as far as what’s new, but we did find some new pins and discover a candy sale! So let’s get started with the updates!
Ever since Disney and Pixar’s new film Soul dropped on Disney+, we’ve been inspired to find our spark!
Soul Photo-Op
Back in November, we saw that a Soul-themed collectible key would be making its way to shopDisney, and earlier this month we finally got a release date! Well, today is the day, because you can now grab this brand new key online!
Though Disney World increased the theme park capacity back in November, some families decided to stay home for the holidays.

But, just because some guests decided not to spend Christmas in the most magical place on earth doesn’t mean Disney wasn’t a big part of their holiday season! And, with a Disney-fied recipe of hot chocolate in hand, it seems that MANY Disney lovers turned to Disney’s streaming service — Disney+ — for some holiday entertainment.
Soul released on Disney+ just a few days ago and we’ve been using all our free time to find our spark!

The animation in this new Disney/Pixar film is absolutely stellar and learning about the development of the film is a total treat. We’ve already seen a good bit of concept art from the film, but today we spotted MORE behind-the-scenes pics! Take a look!
There are only two more days until Christmas, which also means there are only two more days until we get to watch Soul on Disney+!

We’ve been prepping for the film’s release for a while now, watching all the exclusive clips and checking out the latest Soul-themed items to drop in Disney World and online. Now, two of the products we first noticed in the parks are available on shopDisney and you can snag a really great deal!
Sometimes you think you have all of your holiday shopping done, until you find that PERFECT item that you just have to have.
Holiday Merchandise
And even though it’s a little late, it is totally possible to get those last minute gifts! It may not be as instant as sending a virtual Disney gift card, but with a new deal at Entertainment Earth, you can snag some goodies with a HUGE sale!
We are so excited about Disney’s next Pixar film, Soul!
