Walt Disney World previously announced that Soarin' Across America will be coming to EPCOT this year as part of the United States' 250th anniversary celebrations - and now we have firm dates.

For a bit of history, Soarin' originally debuted at EPCOT back in 2005 with the "Soarin' Over California" film, before being replaced in 2016 with "Soarin' Around the World" - the version most UK visitors will be most recently familiar with. The new "Soarin' Across America" film takes guests on an aerial tour across the American landscape, which feels fitting given the 250th anniversary context, though whether it'll resonate quite as much with British visitors remains to be seen.

Disney has confirmed that Soarin' Across America will be a limited-time offering, though no end date has been announced as yet. Whether "limited time" means months or years is not yet clear.

Soarin' Around the World will close at the end of the day on 13th May 2026, with Soarin' Across America making its debut on 26th May 2026.
