Patrick Warburton Returns as Chief Flight Attendant at Soarin’ Over California | Disneyland Resort

[@gymnastgirlflips]

Not only did we get all the Soarin' references, we get Emperor's New Groove too. We are truly blessed.

[@ltsgobrndniagre3endofquote525]

Was the reference where he said the safety belt part?

[@gymnastgirlflips]

@@ltsgobrndniagre3endofquote525 Yes. He was quoting the Kuzco'z poison scene, but with safety belts.

The joy it would bring if the real Patrick told me “nice work pal”. This is fantastic!

She even had an Emperor's New Groove shirt on. I love it.

He should have followed up with "go Team Venture."

He’s always one of my favorite parts of Soarin’. Really wouldn’t be the same experience without his introduction.

[@jazzyjen5083]

So true!!!! Patrick is an icon!

[@robynmorita8207]

The way he said, “Thanks…for all of these years” really got me in the feels 😭

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

0:58 No one else seemed to mention this so I will, I love how he compliments her Emperor's New Groove T-shirt.

[@ElectricDragon505]

It's moments like this when we see Disney magic in its rare true form. Even when we only meet them at the parks, personalities like Patrick or even the more "imaginative" ones like Figment are as greatly beloved as the characters who appear in movies and shows. Nice work, pal.

[@stormhawkdude]

I love Mr. Warburton showed up looking Sully Sullenberger. Just that last little detail that makes it so delightful to see him back at Soarin'

[@Cwilliam1999]

Welcome Back Patrick. We missed you

[@What_the_Pell]

Omg I would have lost my mind seeing him! He is a great actor and even better voice actor. This version of the ride is the best. People clap at the end almost everytime from pure joy

[@jazzyjen5083]

I love soarin so much!!!! I agree the California version is better but unlike many others I still like the World version. I think the World version is a better fit for Epcot and California is a better fit for California

[@MythicalPhoebe]

Hey peter!

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

Having not seen Patrick in anything for a while, he looks great and healthy, and still as funny as ever.

[@billyz90]

Love the Emperor's New Groove reference!

[@nathancruz9172]

Me too

[@CLIFFLIX]

"Nice work pal...." Love it! This was a cool throw back that honors it's past. I LOVE it when Disney honors it's past!

wow. cant believe im tearing up. I remember coming here with my family a long while ago. disney really knows how to get the nostalgia running.

[@magicaladventuresyt]

The Kronk easter egg made this that much better!!!!

[@rarecandy5495]

What an awesome experience for those guests! Soarin' has one of the best intro videos in the parks.

[@colorforce5530]

Disneyland is the first of all the Disney and regular amusement parks the entire planet over. It first opened in 1955 when Walt was around, to make magic real and invite many to experience the wonder of it. He even rode the carousel of Sleeping Beauty castle with the author of Mary Poppins, P.L. Travers, as depicted in Saving Mr. Banks, dedicated to Diane, his daughter. He was lucky to create and open the park after and still as he gave his daughters a ride on his train and promoted more fun for them.

[@isaacelliott-smith7033]

He must be a Disney Legend!!

[@UrSammich]

It's not the same without Patrick. I remember my first flight with him when I was younger. Can't tell you how grand and special it was. Truly made my experience.

[@surfrocket2819]

That music brings back so many great memories

[@killersnoogans]

This really just made me happy to see. Something so simple of just him for 5 minutes can really create just a happy moment. What a great guy.

[@lacweal1]

COMEBACK OF THE YEAR

[@vcarter0723]

so awesome!!! honestly patrick has always been one of my favorite parts of the ride, if not the fav (the others being the music and smells)

[@BrettFightorFlight]

Those people are so lucky.

[@koopa159]

Please, I am begging you just keep it as the California version at DCA. It is so much better than SOW.

[@erwinchan6077]

Or just reshoot another one and upgrade the cameras and projectors! Soaring would be insane in 4k or in IMAX.

[@Atmblack03]

This is the unanimous request from nearly everyone..but Disney is too stubborn.

[@erwinchan6077]

@@Atmblack03 or too cheap.

[@silverlily35]

Agreed! Saw it again for the first time in years at Epcot and it still holds up so well. I would love for it to always be that version in DCA.

[@24ecko]

I've been messaging Disney to keep one side of the building as the original Soarin' Over California and the other half as the new World one. Disney doesn't care lol.

[@Bowling_Dude]

this is a man who clearly loves what he does.

[@mushieslushie]

It's crazy that this ride and the safety video have now been running for over 23 years!

[@burneyboys02]

Our man still got it after all these years.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Liz.R]

What a good sport! He still has the pipes. Now I challenge Disney to give us updated & vibrants films to both parks. Updates are needed. thx

[@FunAtDisney]

WOW! So cool! I had a chance to meet him at the Long Beach Grand Prix years ago at a media event. He was so nice. I told him we loved his Soarin’ presentation and he told me at the time he had never seen it!

[@AmusementExplorer]

I would have love to meet Patrick too ! What an epic character 🥹

[@nathancruz9172]

Me too

[@colorforce5530]

I love Patrick Warburton. He was cast for Mr. Barkin in Kim Possible, Royal Pain in Sky High, Alexander W. Wolff in Hoodwinked, a classic Trojan in Mr. Peabody and Sherman, one of the wildebeests in The Wild, Kronk in The Emperor's New Groove, Kronk's New Groove and The Emperor's New School, a scientist's henchman in Underdog and Pulaski in Planes: Fire & Rescue. I will hire him to voice Gawain in Time Shift.

I like it when people do stuff like that! Also, I think that the original version of Soarin' should stay in California permanently while the Around the World version stays at Epcot. Makes sense when you think about it.
