Soarin' after Food & Wine at DCA

[southcarolinagirl]

Will Soarin have to close to change over from "over California" to "over the world"? We were planning to go day 4/24 but will move the date if Soarin will be closed.

Oh sorry, I didn't see this was in the DL forum. My bad.

I don't think there's ever downtime when they switch from one to the other; I think it happens 'overnight.' I don't think the WDW was closed at all when they switched it last week.

With digital projection, the changeover time is minimal. I think they just have to flip a switch and switch out the scent canisters.

That's good news! I didn't see it in the refurb schedule so wanted to ask.. thanks!

That's kind of what I thought but didn't know enough of the specifics to say for certain. Thanks!

(Also, "switch out the scent canisters" is a funny statement. I know exactly what you mean, but someone who's never been on Soarin' might "huh?" at that )

It looks like they use some kind of scented wafer placed into a compressor fan aparatus.

I totally misinterpreted your title, LOL! I thought you were asking about how wise it would be to ride Soarin' after eating at the Food & Wine Festival!!

Soarin' would be easy. I'd stay away from Mater's Junkyard Jamboree!

When I'm at Epcot after a big meal I always joke that I will go hit Mission: SPACE - that one will get ya for sure!

I avoided Tower of Terror on two coasts for several years. I wanted to see the theming but was scared of the drops. Sure, I knew I could go through the queue and then take the chicken exit, but that seemed, well, cowardly. So one morning I arrived at Disneyland to meet up with some friends and said, "Let's go do Tower of Terror before I eat anything." Probably a wise decision!

(Did the ride, got a pin, haven't set foot in that building again.

It's the spinning stuff that would get me. I'm not that suceptible, but after a big meal....
