Bahaha! It closes before it opens! (But that isn’t your typo, it is Disney’s. I think they meant 2027.)

I thought it meant World closes the 13th and America opens the 26th

Oh! Right. Okay. That makes sense. Nevermind. :slight_smile:

Regardless, SO looking forward to this change. We planned a trip in August ENTIRELY because of this Soarin’ Across America change!

I had looked up Soarin a couple of weeks ago and earlier announcements had said Soarin across America would open “by May 26th”. I think that is still the plan by this new crazy posting?

Yes. From Disney’s website:

Yes, the link I posted says May 26th but since they are able to change over Soarin Around the World and Soarin California in one night, I expect that original announcement of “by May 26th” is correct.

I missed the BTMRR part - that’s good. I was upset when that date wasn’t announced. I’m really hoping these rides opening eases LL demand for Tier 1 and especially Pooh. I just hope no VQ.

Buzz will open four days before my arrival, but I will miss Big Thunder which I would have much rather be open when I’m there…:sob:

I hope so!

Same!!!

Oh, I see what you mean…that it seems likely it could open BEFORE May 26th!

Here’s a summary of all the announcements made today.
