Opening Date for Soarin' Across America

Soarin' is about to change and we finally have an opening date for this limited time "Soarin' Across America" experience. Find out full details for this new show.

Soarin'

Soarin' Around the World is a popular Disney attraction that can be found on both coasts. You can experience it at EPCOT in Walt Disney World or at Disney California Adventure in Disneyland.

Soarin' takes guests on a hang glider ride around the world. There, they see breathtaking views of wonders across the globe.

Recently, Walt Disney World changed Soarin' up a bit, and we love the results. You can read about the improvements HERE. And now, the biggest change of all is coming!

The new "Soarin' Across America" will debut at Disney's California Adventure on July 2, 2026. Disney promises that this will come to both coasts, but an opening date has not yet been given for Soarin' at EPCOT. There is simply a promise of Summer 2026.
