America is gearing up to celebrate a monumental birthday next year. Have you heard about the semiquincentennial yet? Next year will mark America’s 250th birthday, and there are going to be many different ways to celebrate as we get closer! Joining in on the festivities, Disney has announced their own initiative titled “Disney Celebrating America”. Beginning in just a few short weeks on Veteran’s Day, this initiative will continue all the way through the July 4th weekend next summer.
One of the ways in which Disney plans on celebrating America through its brands, platforms, and properties is by debuting a new version of the beloved Soarin’ attraction at EPCOT and Disneyland parks! It has been announced that Soarin’ Across America will take flight in Summer 2026! Disney has said this updated experience will feature some of our beautiful country’s natural scenery and stunning city landscapes. The standout touches that make Soarin’ such an immersive crowd-pleaser will also be updated to reflect the new theme. So, expect a moving musical score and those fan-favorite scents to continue playing a defining role in Soarin’ Across America too!
As we prepare to mark the 250th celebration of the founding of this country, expect to hear even more announcements about the ways in which Walt Disney World will be commemorating this milestone. In the meantime, if you’re looking for year-round ways to explore the American experience, stop by the American Adventure pavilion in EPCOT. Here you will find dedicated experiences that will enlighten and inspire you to find new ways to honor all that makes America diverse and innovative while observing our history and traditions.
