Get ready to buckle up and prepare for takeoff! Disney has officially announced the timeline for the fan-favorite attraction Soarin‘s next iteration, titled Soarin’ Across America. This brand-new airborne adventure across the U.S. will begin its debut at Disneyland Resort on July 2, 2026, with the offering launching at Walt Disney World Resort (EPCOT) during Summer 2026.

A Celebration of the Nation’s 250th Anniversary

The timing of the new show is deliberate, coinciding with the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. Soarin’ Across America will showcase the United States—from sea to shining sea—highlighting some of the country’s most remarkable natural beauty and iconic cityscapes.

Walt Disney Imagineering is hard at work capturing more than a dozen breathtaking locations for the new flight, aiming to deliver a journey that truly honors the heart and spirit of the nation as it soars into its 250th birthday celebration.

The Magic Remains, The Scenery Changes

While the scenery is completely new, the fundamental elements that make Soarin’ an unforgettable experience will remain:

• The Flight: Guests will still feel the sensation of gliding through the air beneath the massive screen.
• The Sights and Score: The adventure will be accompanied by an all-new orchestral score composed exclusively for this patriotic journey.
• The Scents: Critically, the iconic sensory elements of Soarin’—the immersive scents that match the landscapes on screen—will be fully utilized to enhance the experience.

Whether guests are taking off from Disney California Adventure park in California or the Land Pavilion at EPCOT in Florida, they will be part of the same seamless journey that celebrates the beauty and diversity of the United States. Get ready to experience the country like never before when Soarin’ Across America debuts next summer!
