Evening Showtimes Restored to EPCOT Schedule for Impressions de France in January 2027

Evening showtimes for Impressions de France have returned to the EPCOT schedule for January 2027. Following an initial calendar update that removed the nighttime block for the classic France pavilion film, the My Disney Experience app and Walt Disney World website were updated to restore the evening window.

Starting January 1, 2027, the operating schedule for the Palais du Cinéma splits the day between two films, matching the schedule currently running through December 31, 2026. Impressions de France will play in a morning window from 9:00am to 9:30am and return in the evening from 7:00pm to 8:45pm. The Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along will fill the middle of the day, running from 10:00am to 6:30pm.

The schedule update also addresses three late-opening dates in early January. EPCOT opens at 10:00am instead of 9:00am on January 7th, 9th, and 10th for runDisney Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend events. When evening hours were briefly missing from the calendar, those three dates lacked Impressions de France showtimes entirely. With the updated schedule, those late-opening days now list the same 9:00am and 7:00pm windows as the rest of the month, though regular guests cannot enter the park until 10:00am on those mornings. On those three days, the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along is scheduled to start at 11:00am and keep its 6:30pm close.

Disney has not explained why the evening hours were initially absent from the 2027 calendar or whether the temporary disappearance was caused by a scheduling error or a quick change of plans. Disney sometimes loads hours in pieces. A similar situation occurred in March 2023, when showtimes were temporarily cut to a single morning window before evening hours were restored a few days later.

An 18-minute film showcasing the beauty of France on a 200-degree widescreen view, Impressions de France has been present since the opening of EPCOT and received a 4K remaster in 2020 when the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along was added to the theater. The restored evening window provides a relaxed way to wind down a World Showcase loop before the 9:00pm performance of Luminous The Symphony of Us.
