“Soarin’ to tower! We are ready for takeoff!”
Before you get ready to ride Soarin’ Around the World in EPCOT, and have the chance to meet Patrick, the Chief Flight Attendant, we have some tips on what rows to request for the best experience.
We all love EPCOTÂ in Disney World, right?
And there are some strong reasons to love EPCOT. It’s home to some iconic rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, and Soarin’ Around the World and we haven’t even brought up any of the festivals. That being said, there are some hard truths you need to know about this park.
OK, Disney fans, we need your opinion. Here in the U.S., there are two versions of a classic Disney ride called Soarin’. First, there was Soarin’ Over California, which transports riders to sunny California. (We can think of two words to describe this version of the ride: Orange. Groves. If you know, you know.) Then, Disney debuted Soarin’ Around the World, and, as the name implies, you get a birds-eye view of some famous places all over the WORLD! If you’ve been on both versions of the ride, which one is your favorite?
Soarin’ Over California
So, why are we talking about Soarin’? Well, every once in a while, Disney CHANGES the ride experience by swapping between Soarin’ Around the World and Soarin’ Over California. Now, the ride is changing again! Let’s take a look.
When we first learned that Disney would be bringing Soarin’ Over California BACK to Disney World for a limited-time run to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, we never guessed it would last this long.
But, sadly, the time has come for us to once again say goodbye to Soarin’ Over California. Yes, it’s true — Soarin’ Around the World is back in EPCOT.
Alright Disney fans, we’ve got some divisive news to report so LISTEN UP!
Soarin’
We’re no strangers to Disney rides and attractions going out of service, being taken out completely, and teasing us with testing rides to be open soon like we’ve recently seen with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. When news initially broke that Disney would be bringing Soarin’ Over California BACK to Disney World for a limited-time run to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, we never guessed it would have lasted this long. But for the fans of this version of the popular attraction, we’ve got major news to share! [Read more…]
If turning your home into a mini-EPCOT is a goal, LEGO might have just the things for you!

A super popular ride has CHANGED in EPCOT!
EPCOT
During the Destination D23 event at Disney World this year, it was announced that Soarin’ Over California would return to EPCOT. It’s been a WHILE since we’ve smelled those fantastic orange groves on this attraction, so we can’t wait to check it out! [Read more…]
These days, EPCOT is a very busy park!
With two new attractions, three new restaurants, and a new fireworks show, there’s a lot to see if you haven’t been in a few years! On top of that, we’re in the middle of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and we’re counting down the days until the 40th Anniversary of the park. There’s so much to keep up with that we decided to round it all up into one list — here’s everything that’s new in EPCOT!
Disney World can be VERY crowded, but there are ways to make those crowds more bearable!
You can use Disney Genie+ to skip some long lines, keep an eye on the wait times, rope drop, and more to try and avoid those really long wait times for your favorite rides. Another tool to use is the Single Rider Line at certain rides, and a NEW ride is testing out this option now in Disney World!
It’s not uncommon for Disney to CHANGE rides for a limited time!
Particularly during the holiday season, we’ve seen Disney World and Disneyland Resort rides get special overlays, like the Jingle Cruise or Haunted Mansion Holiday. But starting today, one Disney California Adventure ride got some changes for the Food & Wine Festival!
