Hi there, Jennifer! Welcome to planDisney!
Your timing couldn’t be more first-class, because
Soarin’ Across America is preparing for takeoff this summer at
Disney California Adventure Park—just in time for the recently-announced
Disney Celebrates America festivities!
While Disney hasn’t yet announced an official end date, the
Disney Parks Blog confirms that this reimagined flight experience will debut as part of the nationwide celebration honoring the United States’ 250th anniversary. Since it’s launching alongside Disney Celebrates America—a resort-wide tribute filled with red, white, and blue décor, spirited entertainment, and special new merchandise—my best guess is that Soarin’ Across America will be available throughout the summer season. Seasonal offerings like this typically stay for the full celebration to give more Guests a chance to experience the magic.
And Jennifer, if you’re planning on visiting during this patriotic season, there are plenty of ways to keep that star-spangled spirit soaring! Over at
Disneyland Park, you can usually salute American history at
Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln on Main Street, U.S.A.—though at the moment, that attraction is temporarily paused while
Walt Disney – A Magical Life is showing in the Main Street Opera House. The two experiences are expected to rotate in the future, and if I had to guess, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln may return just in time for the Disney Celebrates America festivities.
Another meaningful moment not to miss is the Disneyland Flag Retreat Ceremony. This heartwarming and patriotic tradition takes place daily in Town Square on
Main Street, U.S.A., generally in the late afternoon (often around 4:15 PM, though times may vary). It’s a beautiful moment of reflection and tribute, honoring those who serve and celebrating the shared spirit of our nation.
So, Jennifer, here’s wishing you blue skies, smooth landings, and a summer filled with patriotic wonder—the perfect adventure from sea to shining sea!
