Two EPCOT France Pavilion attractions to reopen on May 10

Disney has announced that the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along and Impressions de France in EPCOT's France Pavilion will reopen on May 10 after routine refurbishment. The shows, which have been closed for maintenance, will resume with specific daily schedules. Visitors can still enjoy other offerings in the pavilion before then.

The Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, a 15-minute presentation in a simulated French cinema, features songs from the film with a twist involving LeFou orchestrating the love story between Belle and the Beast. Upon reopening, it will run from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily in the France Pavilion at EPCOT's World Showcase. Impressions de France, an 18-minute film showcasing French landmarks set to classical music, will screen from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. starting May 10. Both attractions highlight the pavilion's cultural theme through entertainment focused on French charm and Disney storytelling. While these shows were closed, the pavilion remains active with Remy's Ratatouille Adventure ride, dining at La Crêperie de Paris and Chefs de France, plus quick-service options like Les Halles Boulangerie-Pâtisserie and L’Artisan des Glaces. EPCOT visitors planning trips before May 10 can explore these alternatives amid the ongoing refurbishments.
