Overview
- Soarin’ Across America began soft-opening to all EPCOT guests on May 22 with live wait times appearing in the My Disney Experience app.
- Disney still lists May 26 as the attraction’s official opening date and staff warned the soft‑open runs may be intermittent until then.
- The new 4 minute 50 second film visits 13 U.S. locations as a 250th‑anniversary overlay while the existing Soarin’ flying‑theater system, scents, and hang‑glider seating remain unchanged.
- Select previews for Cast Members, Annual Passholders, and Disney Vacation Club members ran May 19–21 before the public soft opening on May 22.
- The early runs are likely to change guest planning at EPCOT by drawing morning crowds to The Land pavilion and by tightening Lightning Lane competition once paid access is activated.
