EPCOT’s Impressions de France to Close Feb. 22 for Routine Refurbishment

Disney labels the shutdown a routine refurbishment without a confirmed reopening date.

Overview

  • The closure also pauses the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along because both shows use the Palais du Cinéma in the France Pavilion.
  • Walt Disney World’s calendar currently lists the venue as closed through April 3, 2026, which reflects the limit of the posted schedule rather than a set end date.
  • Disney has not detailed the scope of the work, and no alternate location has been announced for the sing-along during the downtime.
  • Impressions de France, an 18-minute film running since EPCOT’s 1982 opening, has been operating on a limited schedule while sharing time with the sing-along.
  • The refurbishment comes during a broader period of seasonal maintenance at EPCOT, with Frozen Ever After also closed for updates.
