===Construction in Walt Disney World===
Due to the overwhelming success of Soarin' in Disney’s California adventure, Disney executives decided to make a copy of the attraction in Walt Disney World <ref name= "Martin"/>. Initially, Soarin was to be housed in one of the World Showcase pavilions in [[Epcot]], however when a suitable pavilion could not be agreed upon, the attraction was moved the [[The Land]] pavilion <ref name= "book"/>. With the location now determined, Disney announced the creation of Soarin’ on October 10, 2003 (although construction had quietly started in August) <ref name= "press release"/>.

In order to fit Soarin' into The Land pavilion a new show building was created <ref name= "Martin"/>. The old Food Rocks Theater was walled off to create a hallway connecting the show building to the rest of the pavilion<ref name= "Martin"/>. The show building was designed to blend in with the nearby [[Imagination!]] pavilion so that it would not take away from the pavilion architecture<ref name= "Martin"/>. On January 3, 2004, Food Rocks closed and later in the year the programming and testing of Soarin' began<ref name= "Martin"/>. In January of 2005 the entire Land pavilion closed in order to facilitate the integration of Soarin’<ref name= "Martin"/>. During the closure, changes were also made to [[Living with the Land]] and the pavilion’s food court and atrium <ref name= "Martin"/>. Finally on May 5, 2005 Soarin' opened to the public <ref> http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/may05.html </ref>.
