Disneyland celebrates USA’s 250th with patriotic…
Disneyland is rolling out the pink, white and blue carpets for America’s 250th anniversary.
As half of Disney Celebrates America, a company‑broad commemoration of the nation’s big birthday, Walt Disney Imagineers have reimagined the beloved Soarin’ attraction in Disney California Adventure with some further stars and stripes.
The revolutionary journey, which simulates a dangle gliding flight in entrance of a dome screen, was initially conceived as Soarin’ Over California upon its debut in 2001, and was re-themed as Soarin’ Around the World in 2016. Now, it’s getting a patriotic twist: Soarin’ Across America glides into the Disneyland Resort on July 2.

But with 50 states and just 12 featured photographs in the ultimate product, how may the staff settle on which areas to spotlight?
“We wanted to go from sea to shining sea,” Walt Disney Imagineering Portfolio Executive Creative Director Tom Fitzgerald tells The California Post, breaking down how each scene was chosen.
“If it’s celebrating the 250th, the expectation would be that I’m going to see some patriotic places. I expect that I’m going to see Washington, DC. I expect that I’m going to see the Statue of Liberty. I expect that I’m going to see Mount Rushmore, and maybe I’ll see some special red, white, and blue fireworks at the end,” he says, including that other locales just like the Hollywood Sign, the Grand Canyon and Hawaii’s Hilton Head had been chosen for their instantly-recognizable vistas.
Then got here a last class to symbolize the flavour of a number of different quintessential American landscapes, without specifying the precise areas, just like the New England coast, a southern bayou and broad open plains.
“When you finish the journey, you’ll say, ‘You gave me a portrait of America. You reminded me how special this place is,’” Fitzgerald hopes.
Other patriotic choices at Disneyland during Disney Celebrates America embrace particular flag retreat ceremonies honoring veterans, themed decor, the return of the Celebrate America! fireworks spectacular, army band performances and a celebratory cavalcade honoring America.
