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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
