Disney Adds Evening Impressions de France Showtimes in 2027

Impressions de France now has evening showings on EPCOT’s 2027 schedule. The My Disney Experience app added a nighttime window for the classic France pavilion film to every January date currently on the calendar. That includes three late-opening days that had no showings at all. As recently as yesterday, when we reported on it first, the 2027 schedule listed only morning showings.

IN THIS ARTICLE:

  • The updated January 2027 schedule for Impressions de France at EPCOT.
  • What changed for the three late-opening days in early January.
  • A recap of every schedule change through January 13th.

The Palais du Cinรฉma in the France pavilion shares its operating day between two films. Through the end of 2026, Impressions de France bookends the schedule, and the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along takes the middle of the day. Until today, the 2027 calendar had only the morning showtimes for Impressions, and now it has both.

When we looked in the My Disney Experience app this afternoon, Impressions de France showed two windows on every date from January 1st through January 13th. The film plays from 9:00am to 9:30am, then returns from 7:00pm to 8:45pm. That matches the schedule the app shows through December 31st.

The 2027 dates hadn’t had evening hours before today. Yesterday, we reported that Impressions de France had no evening showtimes starting January 1st. Every 2027 date listed only the 30-minute morning window, and the Palais du Cinรฉma had nothing listed after 6:30pm. We noted at the time that the empty evening block might be an error. The quick addition makes that seem more likely. Disney hasn’t said why the evening hours were missing and didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Late-Opening Days Get Showtimes Too

The update also fills in three dates that had no Impressions de France hours at all. EPCOT opens late on January 7th, 9th, and 10th, with a 10:00am start instead of the usual 9:00am. Yesterday, the app left the film off those days entirely.

Now the app lists the same 9:00am and 7:00pm windows on those dates as on every other day. It seems like Disney still doesn’t have the operating schedule exactly correct, since regular guests can’t enter EPCOT until 10:00am on those days. We’d plan on the evening showings for those three dates. The Sing-Along still starts at 11:00am on those days instead of 10:00am, and it keeps its 6:30pm close.

Planning an Evening Showing

An evening showing is a relaxed way to wind down a World Showcase loop. Impressions de France is an 18-minute film, so the evening window leaves room for several showings before it closes at 8:45pm.

That timing also pairs well with the nighttime spectacular. The app lists Luminous The Symphony of Us at 9:00pm on every January date through the 13th, just after the final Impressions window closes. A late showing leaves you a short walk from World Showcase Lagoon and a few minutes to find a viewing spot.

Disney has moved quickly on adjusting the film’s evening hours before. In March 2023, Disney greatly reduced Impressions de France showtimes to a single morning window. Three days later, Disney added the evening showtimes back, and that split schedule held until the 2026 refurbishment.
