Soarin’ Gets a Patriotic Makeover as EPCOT Prepares for Return of Soarin’ Across America
The skies over EPCOT are about to get a little more red, white, and blue. Disney has begun transforming the entrance to Soarin’ inside The Land pavilion as preparations continue for the return of Soarin’ Across America later this month. Soarin’ Around the World officially closed this week, and patriotic decorations are already taking flight around the attraction’s marquee.

New decor inspired by the American flag now surrounds the classic Soarin’ cloud sign. A red-and-white striped banner featuring the familiar hang glider icon stretches above the entrance, while patriotic bunting adds an extra dose of Main Street Fourth of July energy to the pavilion.
Behind the marquee, blue panels decorated with white stars now cover portions of the column, while additional red-and-white striped panels wrap around the sides. It does appear the installation is still in progress, as one side currently has more striping than the other. Some green sections of the original column also remain visible near the base.

Soarin’ Across America officially returns to EPCOT on May 26 as part of Walt Disney World’s Cool Kids’ Summer offerings. Disney has already confirmed the returning version of the attraction will include additional locations and an updated musical score, giving longtime fans something new to look forward to when they buckle back into those hang gliders.
For many EPCOT fans, the return of Soarin’ Across America feels like the attraction finally catching a tailwind back home. The original version has remained a fan favorite thanks to its sweeping national landmarks, nostalgic soundtrack, and slightly less bendy Eiffel Tower.
