Disney states:
Soarin’ Over California is available for a limited time starting September 22, 2023; Soarin’ Around the World will not be offered during this time.
In the beginning, Soarin’ Over California opened in 2005 at EPCOT, the sky high and free riding sent guests Glide above the Golden State’s natural and man-made wonders on this breezy, airborne adventure.
