Are Awesome Planet and the Beauty and the Beast sing along new additions to Epcot?

We're going to be at Epcot on the 17th and I was planning on just doing a half day. Even though I have older kids, neither the kids nor my wife and I are really into the World Showcase. We mostly find it boring. We'll stroll through a bit and that's about it. We have to leave the parks by 3:00 that day (which is why I picked Epcot for that day). With the closings in Future World (why did they ever close the Sum of all Thrills? That was fun.) and Test Track being closed we figured we'd be done with Future World by noon. Not sure how much time this will add.

Yes they are.

I am a bit disappointed that they are opening all on the same day. We are going to miss them all and the Festival of the Arts by one day. Our last half day at WDW is January 16 and, as a Canadian, I was at least hoping for Canada Far and Wide. Does anyone know if Impressions of France will be closed until then, too. I am really looking forward to our trip, but it seems like there are very few attractions in Epcot left for us to experience with so many favourites closed. Even Test Track will be down for refurbishment by that time. Thank heavens, Spaceship Earth will still be open! Sorry to sound so negative, but I am really sad about it. I don't expect to be able to afford another trip for a few years after this one.

yes Impressions of France has been closed while the new movie is put in and also the entire sound and projection system was updated.

Ugh, that doesn’t sound very promising to me.

Are there still plans to alternate Impressions and the new B&B singalong, or am I losing a second attraction as well? Impressions was always a must see for me.

Yes, they will alternate
