Okay, so what’s NOT to love about the France Pavilion? It literally has everything…great shops with French souvenirs, amazing restaurants, WINE, ice cream martinis, a creperie, and one of our favorite quick service restaurants in all of Disney World (yep, we’re talking about Les Halles).

France Pavilion

France is also home to three attractions, including the recently updated Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Well, for a while, two of the three attractions in France have been closed, but we’re happy to report that these two attractions have reopened EARLY.

Both the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along and Impressions de France have been closed for a routine refurbishment. Both were scheduled to reopen on May 10th, but we popped by the France Pavilion today, on May 9th, and both were already open…a FULL day early! The two attractions share a theater, so both were closed while refurbishment was being done inside the theater.

The theater is open!

Of course, we stopped for a moment to pay homage to two GREAT musicals, The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables by checking out the display case showcasing those works.

I dreamed a dream…

Of course, there are many other wonderful displays you can check out here, too. Oddly enough, not a lot of people know these are here! You’ll find a total of six gallery cases with costumes, music,  and artwork that have brought French literature to life through movies, theater, ballet, and opera.

Be sure to check out the displays!

Inside the theater, we noticed some brand new seats! Yep, the theater got new seats for both shows. We were also told that the curtain was now fixed for when Impressions de France is showing.

New seats!

We stuck around for the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, which is a 15-minute retelling of the classic animated Beauty and the Beast, complete with subtitles so everyone can sing along! It plays from 10 AM to 6:30 PM (although you’ll want to double-check the Disney World calendar in case that changes).

Meanwhile, Impressions de France, an 18-minute film showing the beauty and charm of France, shows from 9 AM to 9:30 AM and 7 PM to 8:30 PM.

We’ll keep an eye out for more openings and closures in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
