EPCOT's France Pavilion Attraction Temporarily Closed for Refurbishment

The France Pavilion at EPCOT has officially closed the popular attraction, Impressions de France, as of February 22, 2026. This 18-minute film has been a staple of the pavilion since its debut in 1982, offering guests a cinematic tour of France’s landscapes and cultural landmarks.

The closure is part of a scheduled refurbishment, although Disney has not provided a timeline for when the attraction will reopen its doors to visitors. Impressions de France has been well-received over the years, known for its sweeping visuals and evocative music that celebrate French heritage.

While visitors to EPCOT will need to seek alternative experiences in the interim, the refurbishment suggests that Disney aims to enhance the attraction further. The decision reflects ongoing efforts to update and maintain the park's offerings, ensuring they remain relevant and engaging for a diverse audience. Further announcements are anticipated regarding the reopening schedule and any potential changes to the attraction’s content.
