EPCOT will have so many new changes starting on May 26th. Between the brand-new Soarin’ Across America and the return of GoofyCore, there will be so many new things to do!
Soarin’ Across America
But while we were at EPCOT this morning, we checked our My Disney Experience app to check the wait times and found that Soarin’ Across America has opened early!
When we got to the Land Pavilion, Soarin’ Across America only had a 10-minute wait! We had to run to the line, and we can confirm that the ride is now having a soft opening. The Cast Member we talked to said that while the ride is operating right now, it’s not guaranteed to be up all day, or even every day, until the official opening on the 26th. If you’ll be at EPCOT before the opening, we recommend checking your My Disney Experience app to see if it’s up!
We had to get in line!
Soarin’ Across America celebrates the 250th Anniversary of the U.S.! This brand-new version of Soarin’ will soar riders across both coasts of the U.S., highlighting some of the country’s iconic landscapes and cityscapes. The beginning opens with a bang – literally – with a rocket on the screen as you’re being raised into the skies, getting ready to take flight.
The rocket!
Soarin’ Across America features scenes from New York Harbor, the New England coastline, and Grand Canyon West. Plus, you spot some gorgeous views of Mount Rushmore, because what’s more American than that? We even flew over the Hollywood sign! And in typical Soarin’ fashion, immersive scents were throughout the ride. The Louisiana Bayou, the Great Plains, and the Hawaiian Islands are now officially the best-smelling places in the U.S.!

Soarin’ Across America will officially open on May 26th at EPCOT. Disney hasn’t announced how long the attraction will be around for, so don’t hesitate if you want to see some great American beauty. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World news!
