News Impressions de France Closing for Refurbishment at EPCOT in February 2026

In my opinion it's time for Impressions de France to be updated. It's the only film in World Showcase that hasn't seen an update. The France shown in the video isn't the France of today. The theater also needs updating. It's very dated and the seats are horrible. Hopefully this refurbishment will see the end of the Beauty & The Beast Sing Along. It's the worst show on property.

I feel like Impressions will simply be nixed all together, before that piece of junk, sadly. Just seems like we would have heard a rumbling of something either way.

That would be in character for how World Showcase has been treated for the last twenty years.

Has there been any word about what's happening with this refurbishment? Was hoping it would have reopened by now for my upcoming trip, but it seems like it's still not operating.

It is awful, but I'm okay if it lives on for a few hours a day for the kiddos, but it should mostly take a back seat to an updated Impressions.

With Disneyland Adventure World opening in March, this really seems like a time to play some promos or setup some exhibits like they do in China. At least refurbishment sounds temporarily.

Unfortunately, it's the opposite. The sing-along runs most of the day and Impressions is only available at the beginning at end of the day. It could be a great midday break opportunity, but nope.
