Overview
- Cast Member previews are underway at EPCOT for the limited‑time Soarin’ Across America overlay tied to the United States’ 250th anniversary.
- The attraction opens to the public at EPCOT on May 26, 2026, with Disney California Adventure set to debut the overlay on July 2, 2026.
- The new film glides over well‑known U.S. landscapes and landmarks and ends with a patriotic fireworks scene, while the queue adds National Geographic trivia and Patrick Warburton returns in the pre‑show.
- Early riders say the visuals feel more natural than Soarin’ Around the World, addressing long‑standing complaints about heavy CGI and warped images on the curved screen.
- Other feedback notes gentler movement, fewer scent effects, and some abrupt transitions, which some guests say makes the experience feel less sweeping than the global version.
