A brand new Sorcerer Mickey LEGO sculpture was installed outside of The LEGO Store at Disney Springs. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is an ode to the classic Disney film, Fantasia.
Sorcerer Mickey is first seen in Disney’s Fantastia film in 1940, but has become an iconic Mickey Mouse look throughout the years. Here he proudly wears the iconic sorcerer hat and robe for the first time, but doesn’t yet know what’s in store.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice uses his newfound magic to create a LEGO spectacle outside of the store’s entrance. He uses this magic to bring the swell of waves up and around him, just like in the film.

Beginning in February, Walt Disney World Resort will unveil several new experiences inviting guests to celebrate soulfully at The Most Magical Place on Earth. Coinciding with and extending beyond February’s Black History Month, these offerings honor Black heritage and culture through music, food, art and more.
“Celebrate Soulfully at Disney Springs” brings together several new offerings debuting in February at the Walt Disney World shopping, dining and entertainment district. With jazz-inspired performances, new art displays, special food menus and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Featured will be four new art displays inspired by Disney and Pixar’s “Soul,” created by emerging Black artists: Bee Harris, Bianca Pastel, Arrington Porter and Cory Van Lew. Originally developed in collaboration with Disney and Pixar as part of a HUE Unlimited collection of wearable art, the work reflects each artist’s interpretation of the film.
Three evenings per week – Motown Mondays, Jazz Thursdays and Smooth Sundays – musicians will perform throughout Disney Springs, playing tunes sure to stir the soul. In addition, select dining locations will feature special menu items, including Amorette’s Patisserie offering treats inspired by “Soul” and Walt Disney Animation Studio’s “The Princess and the Frog.” Also at Disney Springs, several retail locations will spotlight products from Black designers, artists and visionaries.
