One thing we love about visiting EPCOT is that we can visit each pavilion and it’s like stepping into that country’s culture, food, and shopping. Perhaps one of our favorite pavilions is the France Pavilion because we get access to all those delicious French pastries, crepes, wine, and more.
France Pavilion
The France Pavilion is also home to Impressions de France, an 18-minute widescreen film that showcases France’s beauty, charm, and joie de vivre. However, if you want to watch this film in 2027, you’ll have fewer chances to do so.
Currently, the theater that houses Impressions de France also houses the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, with the day split between the two shows. Impressions de France plays from 9 AM to 9:30 AM and from 7 AM to 8:45 PM. However, as of January 2027, Impressions de France is dropping its evening hours and will only be playing in the mornings from 9 AM to 9:30 AM. That means you’ll have a very limited window if you want to catch the movie.

Meanwhile, the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along will have the same hours as it has currently: from 10 AM to 6:30 PM. So you’ll still have most of the day to catch that show.

Now, Disney World’s hours only go as far out as January 12th, 2027, so this could be a temporary change and the evening hours for Impressions de France could return. However, Disney has not made any indication of what it has planned for the show. Impressions de France takes you on a virtual journey through the country, from Cheverny Forest to the palace of Versailles to Normandy, and Cannes, all to a musical soundtrack by French composers.

Meanwhile, you can still spend time in France riding Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, grabbing a baguette at Les Halles, ordering a crepe at La Crêperie de Paris, enjoying a boozy ice cream martini at L’Artisan des Glaces, shopping for authentic French souvenirs, and more.
