Posted: Monday September 23, 2024 10:00am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Walt Disney World has updated its list of attractions available during Early Theme Park Entry at EPCOT, dropping Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along from the line-up.

This change reduces the selection of attractions offered to guests who are staying at Disney Resort hotels and taking advantage of the 30-minute early access before regular park hours.

Guests can still experience the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along later in the day, but it will no longer be part of the Early Entry offering. The current list of Early Entry attractions at EPCOT includes:

  • Frozen Ever After
  • Mission: SPACE
  • Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
  • Soarin’ Around the World
  • Spaceship Earth
  • Test Track (currently closed for refurbishment)
  • The Seas with Nemo & Friends

The Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, located in the France Pavilion of the World Showcase, is a 15-minute show that invites guests to sing along to beloved songs from the animated classic Beauty and the Beast.

This! or at least rotate it throughout the day, get rid of the daycare abomination that they insist on continuing to show like its some golden wonder. Cast has nothing much good to say about it either. I think everyone would like a piece of real France back via Impressions.

Maybe I’m going crazy but on my past few trips Impressions de France was playing for like the first 30 minutes of the day. I remember seeing it had limited hours in both the AM and PM in the app. I was able to do Remy during early entry and then catch the last show before it switched over. Regardless, bring back Impressions full time please someone.

I'd pay $49.99 if it was on reclinable easy-chairs and you can extend your nap through the next showing.

mattpeto19 days ago

It'd be nice if EEH included Living with the Land, especially during the holidays but I realize that they may have to limit operating hours due to maintenance. I still think Epcot overall is mess for EEH. Better than nothing, but everything is so spread out.

ToTBellHop19 days ago

I am convinced 90% of the people in this theater at 8:35 am thought they were in line for Rat.

DznyRktekt19 days ago

I would early entry or rope drop Impressions de France. Heck, make it a $29.99 per person upcharge by including a croissant and coffee.

Drdcm19 days ago

I would would honestly not be surprised if it was single digits… at least for the first show. I could see maybe getting some business from the people getting off Remy, or choosing not to walk somewhere else after seeing the Remy line too long.

Purduevian20 days ago

True... but Tiana's is currently the newest thing in MK and is the hardest to get LL in the park. Once it's standby opens I imagine it will be the biggest rope drop crowd.

SingleRider20 days ago

It was the same way with Splash when it was open. Nothing outside of Tomorrowland or Fantasyland was available.

Purduevian20 days ago

I'm surprised Philharmagic, COP, and ITTBAB are still holding on. It will also be interesting once Tiana's is more stable and on Standby that JC, Tiana, and Big Thunder will all not be available.

I got very excited by the headline myself... until I finished reading it. Honestly, it's fine if they need it to fill in things for the kiddos. But, I wish they would either rotate it throughout the day. Or, at least switch it over mid-day. (or, just make a decent, Pavilion-appropriate film - because BatB here would be less than mediocre at studios and is just kinda bad at Epcot, IMHO.)

Drdcm20 days ago

I wonder how many people on average chose this as their early entry selection…

Can we get rid of the sing-along completely next?
