Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along Removed from Early Entry Line-Up at EPCOT

Sep 23, 2024 in "Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along"

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.

dmc493Sep 23, 2024

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.

MisterPenguinSep 23, 2024

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

mattpetoSep 23, 2024

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.

ToTBellHopSep 23, 2024

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

DznyRktektSep 23, 2024

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.

DrdcmSep 23, 2024

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.

PurduevianSep 23, 2024

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.

SingleRiderSep 23, 2024

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

PurduevianSep 23, 2024

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.
