    Hi, I'm going to Walt Disney World for 2 days and I really wanted to see Impressions de France at EPCOT! I just saw it is expected to reopen May 10 but my last day is May 9 :( How likely is it that it will reopen a little earlier?

    Bonjour, Soa! Welcome to planDisney! Your trip is so close, I bet you can practically smell the freshly-baked baguettes that await you when you visit France in EPCOT. Thanks for asking your question about a classic that I love, Impressions de France. Let's talk about it.

    You've clearly done your research because you're correct that Impressions de France is scheduled to reopen on May 10 after a short refurbishment. I don't know for sure if it will open early, although there have been times in the past where attractions would soft open before the announced date. It's not guaranteed, but it's worth keeping an eye and ear out for. Keep in mind that the theater also shows the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along at times, so watch your My Disney Experience Mobile App to make sure you know when to go for Impressions de France, which has historically been in the evenings.

    This may not be the news you were hoping to hear. That being said, you'll get to experience a couple of other attractions that have also recently been refurbished. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin just reopened recently with new enhancements. And on May 3, you'll once again be able to take a trip on The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopens after a lengthly refurbishment. 

    Soa, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for you that Impressions de France will open a little early and you'll get to see it. Have a great trip! If you have any other planning questions, please visit us again here at planDisney. Au revoir!

    Let your dreams guide you!
