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.

    Please correct me if it's not the plan but I would not be shocked if July 3-5th were soft Opens. Spectro & MSEP were always later in the Night on July 3-4th...

    jrhwdw2 days ago

    Yes, we know! 7pm-12am! LOL!

    Have you heard the good news about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?!?!

    Disgruntled Walt2 days ago

    I don't suppose there's any chance they actually keep MK open until Midnight once Starlight begins? I mean, I'll take 11pm, but it would be great to get on some rides during that last hour while the parade is going. I don't know when MK was last open until 12am, but I don't think it ever was during my visits.

    nickys2 days ago

    I assume they will want a few full run-throughs after the park closes before it officially starts. It’s been so long since a new parade, I have no idea if there are usually previews for the “usual” groups, or just for CMs. Maybe some of our CM members will be able to answer that.

    Sirwalterraleigh2 days ago

    Because it emptied out everyday well before that and they’re not in the business to pay to keep things open?

    jrhwdw2 days ago

    I've been wondering, If we're not expecting Starlight till after the 4th why move July 2nd to AK??? Might MK be planning some sort of Preview on the 2nd?

    DHS would be far more preferable

    spectromagic043 days ago

    Well expect no MK probably until January. MK usually goes on hiatus when the Halloween and Christmas parties start.

    Disgruntled Walt3 days ago

    I'm quite disappointed at this news, actually. I (wrongly) assumed things would go back to the way they were back when Spectro & MSEP were there. They had EMH when those parades were there. And there's barely anything to do at Animal Kingdom.

    mje10643 days ago

    Yea I’m wondering if AK will be the Wednesday EEH for rest of summer or if it would flip back to MK later in July.

    jrhwdw3 days ago

    Looking to the Future, are these EEH Changes just a Debut Season Thing? I'm about 95% sure MK had EMH with Spectro and MSEP.

    Must not have kids under 6 right now haha. We couldn't even make it to 8pm fireworks the last few times we went.

    I'm good with That! :)
