A popular EPCOT ride is closing soon as Walt Disney World changes the attraction with new upgrades to the attraction itself, along with updates to the queue. Keep reading for the full updates on when to expect this popular ride's closure and what will be changed when it reopens just in time for the holiday season.

After Disney removed 3D projections from its Ratatouille dark ride in Orlando, the company should consider a similar move with other attractions.

Soarin’ Around the World will become Soarin’ Across America in summer 2026. The change will apply to both Disneyland, where the ride is in Disney California Adventure Park, and Walt Disney World, where the ride is in Epcot.

Since its opening in 2001, Disney California Adventure has had its fair share of ride updates and replacements. Whether it was a shift in guest interests or Imagineers simply felt that a change was needed,

Time waits for nothing, not even the popular attractions and rides that entertain millions in Disney parks across the globe. The nostalgia is strong here.

Fort Langhorn was a prime example of Disney’s earliest interactive experiences and one of its most nostalgic attractions. Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America will be transformed into Piston Peak National Park, a “Cars” themed expansion of Frontierland, and the all-new Villains Land.

And then sometimes you get both at the same time. The last couple of days have revealed major changes at Walt Disney World for two different rides at Epcot in the coming months (one of which can also be found at Disneyland Resort). And I’m even split, because while one has me excited, the other is bumming me out.
