EPCOT’s Impressions de France and Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along Set to Reopen in May
A little bonjour and a tale as old as time are making their return to EPCOT very soon. Disney has confirmed that both Impressions de France and the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along will reopen on May 10, 2026, inside the France Pavilion’s Palais du Cinéma after a nearly three-month refurbishment.

The theater has been closed since February 22, 2026, with the entire Palais du Cinéma undergoing updates. While Disney has not shared exact details, refurbishments of this length typically include projection upgrades, seating improvements, and other technical enhancements to keep the experience feeling fresh while preserving its charm.
For longtime EPCOT fans, Impressions de France is one of the park’s original opening day attractions from 1982, offering a sweeping 18-minute journey through France set to a stunning classical score. The Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along joined the lineup in 2020, creating a shared schedule between the two shows. Prior to the closure, Impressions de France played in the morning and evening, while the sing-along filled the midday hours, though Disney has not yet confirmed if that schedule will remain the same when the theater reopens.
