Overview
- The new Soarin’ Across America is now operating at Disneyland/Disney California Adventure and at EPCOT’s The Land Pavilion, replacing the previous film with a U.S.-focused program.
- Guests have praised the sensory elements and score while wait times have varied widely, with reported queues ranging from short waits to more than an hour and a half.
- Disney reported an early theater-screen glitch at Disneyland on opening day that was fixed the same morning, and parks restored normal app visibility after a temporary disappearance.
- The film was shot with large-scale aerial production — the team logged extensive travel plus hundreds of helicopter passes and dozens of drone flights — and some shots received post-production polishing and CGI.
- The attraction retains aviation-themed queue exhibits honoring pilots, and Disney plans to roll out park-level interactive queue features developed with National Geographic later in July.
