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.
As of February 28th, Soarin’ Over California is no longer in EPCOT — instead, the “normal” version of the ride, Soarin’ Around the World, is back.

Disney announced that Soarin’ Over California would be around for the company’s 100th anniversary, but the update stuck around long after the festivities ended. We had been wondering if Disney would take the original version of the attraction away again, and now it seems it’s finally happened.

It’s interesting to note that Disney has updated this attraction on the first day of the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, though no word has been shared on whether or not the two have anything to do with each other.

“If you still want to experience Soarin’ Over California, you can still do so in Disneyland.”
We just got back home last night from a visit to the Disneyland Resort. We did Soarin’ on Monday and Tuesday, and it was Soarin’ Around the World.
What a shame. Was hoping the far superior California version would have been kept for 12 consecutive months so that the yearly visitors could experience it again.
I’m at WDW right now & was lucky enough to catch Soarin’ over CA before it left. I had forgotten how much better it is than “over the world”. Idk if it’s the music or the incredible CA scenery, but I find it much more moving.
