EPCOT Removes Attraction From Early Entry List

Are you an early riser when you go to Disney World?

Some people are the type who love to be at the parks before they even open, which is a great strategy if you’ve got a long list of rides to tackle. And if you’re staying on-site, you can take advantage of an exclusive Disney Resort guest perk — Early Theme Park Entry!

Early Theme Park Entry takes place every day in all four Disney World parks, and allows Disney Resort guests to enter 30 minutes before official park opening time. During those 30 minutes, a select number of rides and attractions will be available.

If you manage to make it to the park for Early Theme Park Entry, you can save some serious time by knocking out one or two of the park’s most popular rides. You just have to be prepared to HUSTLE and you’ll want to go in with a strategy.

We’ve seen the list of available Early Theme Park Entry attractions change a little bit over the past few years, especially as new offerings have opened, but now, one attraction has been REMOVED. At EPCOT, you can no longer visit the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along during Early Theme Park Entry.

This short show is located in the France Pavilion and features a “twist” storyline on Beauty and the Beast with LeFou as the main character. The show includes several popular songs from the movie and displays the lyrics on the screen so visitors can sing along. It’s really cute and a fun activity for fans of the movie, but probably not a must-do for most.

We can definitely understand why Disney would remove this attraction from the list, considering it’s not one of the park’s most popular offerings and it doesn’t typically get crowded or have a long wait time. Instead, a better use of your Early Theme Park Entry time would be to visit Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure next door.

So the next time you head to EPCOT for Early Theme Park Entry, you’ll have to wait and knock out the sing-along when the park opens! We’ll keep you updated with any more scheduling changes, so stay tuned to AllEars.
