Disney officially announced the opening dates for the new Soarin’ film and the beginning of Fastpass+ booking for this new Soarin’ experince!
Disney – Imagine a wind-through-your-hair flight above The Great Wall of China, a bird’s-eye view of the Sydney Harbor in Australia, gliding around the Matterhorn in Switzerland …
These are among more than a dozen breathtaking ways you’ll be able to experience the wonders of the world when Soarin’ Around the World makes its groundbreaking debut across the globe this summer. The next generation of the popular Soarin’ attraction makes its premiere at the grand opening of Shanghai Disneyland this summer as Soarin’ Over the Horizon.
The next day on June 17, guests at Disney California Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort and Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort will be able to board the exhilarating aerial adventure that immerses you in a multi-sensory experience, complete with stunning sights, spectacular sounds and even subtle scents. Fastpass+ will be an option for Soarin’ beginning Thursday, April 21.
Here’s a preview of what you’ll see on Soarin’ Around the World:
In addition to the new film, the Epcot attraction also added a third theater and reimagined its interactive queue.
Are you excited to see the new Soarin’ Over the World?
I just booked Soarin’ at Epcot for June 7 & 8.
I just booked Soarin’ at Epcot for June 7&8. I was making some changes to original plans and it popped up.
It is old Soarin film, not Soarin over the World
Ah…that’s ok. It wasn’t showing up at all before. One last time is good for me. We will be back in the fall.
I have tried to book FP on and off last night for June 17th, but keep getting the following message:
Soarin’ – Opening June 17, 2016! FastPass Service not available.
Wish I knew when they would become available…
Maybe they meant tonight?
Just got 4 FP’s for 10am for Soarin’ on 6/17. Book now friends!!
thanks!
I just got mine for June 19th so they are up now.
How do you project this affects the crowd calendar on the 17th and 18th? Our trip is scheduled for the week of June 11-18.
What do you think the Fastpass+ groupings will look like with Frozen and Soarin’ back in the mix?
Don’t trust anything the Disney says right now. Booked May 7 to see River of Lights and Frozen Ride, but neither are going to happen!
Frozen ride was not promised by Disney by May 7
We are in Epcot June 16th…go figure!
Thanks. At the moment I’m just hoping we don’t get there on May 19th and find out Disney has decided to close all other parks until Shanghai opens.
Ouch. True, but ouch.
It’s listed on June 17 – 19 when I can book but it says unavailable. Any idea?
If you read the article it says it won’t open for fast pass bookings until the 21st
Never mind. April 21st. Got it ;)
Because you can’t book until tomorrow as stated in post
Still not working… Hhmm
Cannot wait!!! I remember standing on the Great Wall with my baby daughter in my hands just days after I adopted her! I can only imagine the tears that will flow seeing this beautiful place again!
Excited to hear the music. Would love for parts to be the same as the original was so moving!
September trip for us. Looking forward to seeing how the 3rd theater affects the wait line which I’m sure will be long even with it now that there is a new movie.
Re-imagined the queue line?? So sad. I suspect that means no more Patrick Warburton But I’ll still love the ride/show itself, certainly.
The long boring queue needed to go. I hope Patrick stays with a new intro, but no way of knowing
Ohmygosh yes the long boring line part needs to go, but I have had a crush on PW for years ;-) so selfishly want him to still be our Chief Flight Attendant.
Any clue how tiering will work in epcot with this and frozen Norway stuff
Boo! I will be there May 31st!
Ugh! We leave the 13th! Shoot!
I’m so sad!!! We leave June 7! Any chance on a soft opening beforehand?
No because it debuts in Shanghai first
Had heard rumors that they may open the old experience ahead of the new one. Any truth to that, you think? We leave end of May and was hoping for them to open with the old ride at least.
I posted that weeks ago. At this point, it appears they will wait.
