Disney fans will soon be taking flight on an all-new adventure as Disney Parks officially unveils new details for Soarin’ Across America, a reimagined version of the beloved attraction coming to both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort in 2026.
The new experience debuts May 26, 2026, at EPCOT in Walt Disney World Resort and July 2, 2026, at Disney California Adventure Park in Disneyland Resort as part of Disney’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Guests will soar above breathtaking American landscapes, iconic landmarks, and vibrant cityscapes in an immersive attraction designed to celebrate the beauty, spirit, and diversity of the United States.
Among the newly revealed destinations featured in the attraction are the rugged New England coastline, the glowing skyline of New York Harbor, Grand Canyon West, the bayous of the South, the Great Plains, the northern wilderness, and the sunlit shores of Hawaii. Disney Imagineering promises a stunning “sea to shining sea” experience complete with new ride programming, enhanced sensory effects, and an updated musical score by composer Bruce Broughton inspired by the original Soarin’ soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith.
“Disney continues to create experiences that bring families together through storytelling, wonder, and unforgettable memories,” said Natali Bohm, owner of Axis Travel Group. “Soarin’ has always been one of the most beloved attractions at Disney Parks, and this new version celebrating America’s landscapes and culture is going to be incredibly special for guests visiting in 2026.”
Disney Imagineering Creative Director Tom Fitzgerald shared that the attraction was designed to capture “a tapestry of urban wonders, natural beauty, and iconic locations that celebrate the spirit of the nation.”
In addition to the new attraction experience, EPCOT guests will also enjoy the new Soarin’ Challenge Across America queue experience developed alongside National Geographic. The interactive trivia challenge will test guests’ knowledge of the United States with fun facts and photography celebrating America’s history, culture, and natural beauty.
