''Soarin{{'}} Around the World'' is in the Grizzly Peak Airfield section of [[Disney California Adventure]] at the [[Disneyland Resort]]. One of the resort's most popular attractions, it utilizes the park's Lightning Lane Multi-Pass system, allowing guests to reserve specific ride times to avoid long queues.

While in line, guests pass the Wings of Fame, an homage to California's aviation history, including profiles of the [[P-51 Mustang]], [[SR-71 Blackbird]], and [[Bell X-1]]. There is also a section dedicated to aviators such as [[John J. Montgomery]], [[Amelia Earhart]], [[Jimmy Doolittle]], [[Charles Lindbergh]], [[Jack Northrop]], the [[Wright brothers]], [[Howard Hughes]], [[Jacqueline Cochran]], [[Kelly Johnson (engineer)|Kelly Johnson]], [[Paul MacCready]], and [[Chuck Yeager]]. Inspirational music from a variety of aviation-related films is played in the queue areas, including ''[[Patton (film)|Patton]]'', ''[[MacArthur (1977 film)|MacArthur]]'', ''[[Air Force One (film)|Air Force One]]'', ''[[The Blue Max]]'', ''[[Explorers (film)|Explorers]]'' (all by [[Jerry Goldsmith]]), ''[[The American President]]'' (by [[Marc Shaiman]]), ''[[DragonHeart#Music and sound|DragonHeart]]'', ''[[Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story]]'', [[Angels in the Outfield (1994 film)|Angels in the Outfield (1994)]] (both by [[Randy Edelman]]), ''[[The Last Starfighter]]'' (by [[Craig Safan]]), ''[[Apollo 13 (film)|Apollo 13]]'', and ''[[The Rocketeer (film)|The Rocketeer]]'' (both by [[James Horner]]), ''[[Always (1989 film)|Always]]'' (by [[John Williams]]) and the [[HBO]] miniseries ''[[Band of Brothers (TV miniseries)|Band of Brothers]]'' (by [[Michael Kamen]]). ''The Air Force Song'' and "Jupiter" from [[Gustav Holst]]'s orchestral suite ''[[The Planets]]'' are also heard, based on their use in ''[[The Right Stuff (film)|The Right Stuff]]''.

Before entering the theater area, guests are placed in one of three preshow areas, called Alpha Gate, Bravo Gate, and Charlie Gate (named for the first three letters of the [[NATO phonetic alphabet]]). Just before boarding, guests see a pre-boarding video hosted by their chief flight attendant, [[Patrick Warburton]].<ref name="rebooted" />

The attraction opened with the park in 2001 as ''Soarin{{'}} Over California'' in what was then the park's Condor Flats area. In early 2015, it closed for refurbishment as the surrounding area was transformed into Grizzly Peak Airfield. It reopened on May 15, 2015, with new exterior theming and updates to its screen and projection system.<ref name="pimentel">{{cite news|url=http://www.ocregister.com/articles/disney-648380-disneyland-california.html|last1=Pimentel|first1=Joseph|title=Upgrades close several Disney rides|work=[[The Orange County Register]]|date=January 25, 2015|page=Local 2|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150308230808/http://www.ocregister.com/articles/disney-648380-disneyland-california.html|archive-date=March 8, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://disneyland.disney.go.com/attractions/disney-california-adventure/soarin-over-california/|title=Soarin' Over California|work=Disneyland|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150113025618/https://disneyland.disney.go.com/attractions/disney-california-adventure/soarin-over-california/|archive-date=January 13, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Glover|first=Erin|title=New Smokejumpers Grill Opens March 20, Part of Grizzly Peak Expansion at Disney California Adventure Park|url=http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/03/new-smokejumpers-grill-opens-march-20-part-of-grizzly-peak-expansion-at-disney-california-adventure-park/|publisher=Disney Parks Blog|access-date=March 11, 2015|date=March 9, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150311145348/http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/03/new-smokejumpers-grill-opens-march-20-part-of-grizzly-peak-expansion-at-disney-california-adventure-park/|archive-date=March 11, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Glover|first=Erin|title=Grizzly Peak Airfield Now Open at Disney California Adventure Park|url=http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/05/grizzly-peak-airfield-now-open-at-disney-california-adventure-park/|publisher=Disney Parks Blog|access-date=May 15, 2015|date=May 15, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150516201649/http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/05/grizzly-peak-airfield-now-open-at-disney-california-adventure-park/|archive-date=May 16, 2015}}</ref> It now utilizes a laser illuminated digital projection array, replacing its original IMAX systems.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ocregister.com/articles/area-662361-scholz-disney.html|title=New Grizzly Peak Airfield at Disney California Adventure recalls scenic national parks|access-date=July 12, 2015|author=Mark Eades |date=May 19, 2015 |quote=According to Scholz, advances in laser illumination technology allowed Disney to upgrade the projectors without a sacrifice in the quality of the show.|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713031616/http://www.ocregister.com/articles/area-662361-scholz-disney.html|archive-date=July 13, 2015}}</ref> Several exterior changes include the replacement of the mock-up [[RS-25]] rocket engine with a [[fire lookout tower]].
