EPCOT Closes France Pavilion’s Film Theater for Indefinite Refurbishment

Disney has not given a reopening date, creating uncertainty for spring visitors.

Overview

  • Impressions de France and the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along have been dark since February 22, confirming a full closure of the shared Palais du Cinéma.
  • Disney has released no details on the scope or timeline, and the official calendar currently lists the attraction closed through April 3 as a planning window rather than a firm date, according to outlets.
  • Reporters observed additional maintenance inside the France pavilion, including a covered patisserie facade near Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
  • Speculation points to possible updates to projection and sound systems, seating, or cosmetic and structural elements, which Disney has not confirmed.
  • The theater shutdown removes the pavilion’s film entertainment, while Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, shops, and dining locations continue to operate.
