VIDEO: Watch Patrick Warburton Surprise Soarin’ Guests in Disney California Adventure!
If you’ve ever ridden Soarin’ (in either Disney World or Disneyland!), you might remember the iconic preshow.
Disney often uses pre-recorded videos (known as “preshows”) to acquaint guests with the narrative of a ride as well as safety measures, and Soarin’s preshow is hosted by none other than Patrick Warburton, whom you may remember as the voice of Kronk in The Emperor’s New Groove, as well as a ton of other popular content.
Recently, he paid a visit to Soarin’ in Disney California Adventure, and here’s what happened!
Patrick Warburton Returns
Lucky Disney California Adventure guests who were about to board Soarin’ were recently surprised by the arrival of Chief Flight Attendant Patrick Warburton! He was there to celebrate the return of Soarin’ Over California, which is back for a limited time through April 22, 2024.
Patrick said, “Getting to surprise guests today was super fun, and it’s great to see the impact that this safety intro has made for the past 23 years and how people still love it. It was such a blast getting to be the Chief Flight Attendant for Soarin’ Over California once again!”
Patrick also shared, “It’s just magical to see how beloved Soarin’ Over California still is after all of these years.
“I can remember my first trip to Disneyland at the age of five and I continue to be a huge Disney fan, so to be part of a Disney attraction that has lasted this long has just been such a sweet and wonderful thing for me.”
“Nice work, Pal!” Watch Patrick Warburton surprise Soarin’ guests in the video below.
