Soarin' will close for refurbishment beginning January 4, 2016 and shall reopen in the summer of 2016.
In addition to the third theater currently under construction, Epcot's Soarin' attraction is expected to receive renovations to the queue area and the same projector upgrade that its Disney California Adventure counter-part recently received.
It has not yet been confirmed if the third theater and new "Around the World" film will open in Summer 2016 or debut later in the year.

I'm looking forward to the update but I can't imagine Epcot with even one less thing to do. It feels so empty to me already.

Agreed, but I knew it was going to go down at some point for some of the changes to be added. It will be ready for me to try at next years F & W (hopefully).

Thankfully Frozen in Norway should be opening to fill the void...right?

When we were there 2 weeks or so ago, my 7 year old spent a lot of her time watching the ducks so I suppose at this point anything will fill the void for her!

Great, we arrive the night of January 4. I guess we don't have to decide between Soarin' and Test Track for the initial Fastpasses now.

does the left hand know what the right hand is doing? A week after closing Soaring' is Marathon Weekend. Disney creates and promotes an even that attractions 10's of thousands of guests in an otherwise slow period. AFTER, it reaches near capacity, they announce the closure of headliners during that period.

They did announce that Splash Mountain would have a really short closure this January.

Disney, darned if they do. Darned if they don't
There's still plenty to do in EPCOT. I go monthly and always have stuff to do.
Glad to see the refrub and equally glad the Frozen attractionsl will be opening next year!!

I agree with you. I live too far away from Disney, so I can't visit as often as you, but I will never stop visiting and enjoying everything whenever I can. Life is way too short to waste time complaining. Smile, listen, and look around; you may be surprised by what you hear and see. When I'm in Disney, I'm never at a loss for something entertaining to enjoy. Disney is so much more than a few "e-ticket" attractions.

Love this
Yeah I know at EPCOT. I never grow tired of seeing the movies in the countries that have them. In Morocco for instance, I love the Fez room. Love looking at all the beautiful tile work. It's not crowded usually and it's a great place to sit and rest and even meditate. We can spend hours in The Seas Aquarium each time [my 7 and 9 year old LOVE it]. There are just so many small details and things to discover and see!

Ouch, sore spot. Walked by today, and miss my Maelstrom. Can see some other construction nearby to further make Norway an abomination.
If only they'd build the Rhine river ride.
But as long as I can booze it up at the FW festival, that is what counts. And they better not touch my Living w/ the land.
