EPCOT’s France Pavilion is inviting guests to experience something new as a live performance takes center stage in World Showcase.

Acrobatico!, a new acrobatic show, has officially debuted, bringing impressive stunts, flips, and synchronized choreography to the heart of the pavilion. Framed by the charming Paris-inspired streetscape and the pavilion’s scaled Eiffel Tower, the show features skilled performers delivering high-energy feats multiple times a day. Guests can see Acrobatico! from Sunday through Thursday at 12:15 p.m., 1:15 p.m., 3:15 p.m., 4:15 p.m., and 5:15 p.m. (There are no performances on Fridays.)

This addition arrives shortly after the retirement of Forces of Nature by AntiGravity, marking a shift in live entertainment offerings at EPCOT.

The France Pavilion has long been a favorite destination for guests looking to immerse themselves in Parisian culture. Visitors can enjoy French cuisine at Chefs de France or grab pastries at Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie before heading to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, the trackless ride that shrinks riders to the size of Remy. Live music often fills the air, adding to the ambiance.

EPCOT has seen several updates over the past year. The completion of the World Celebration neighborhood last year brought CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza, serving as the park’s festival hub. Just last month, the World Discovery neighborhood welcomed a reimagined Test Track, inspired by the original World of Motion and sponsored by General Motors. The attraction began welcoming guests on July 22 and also took over from Soarin’ Around the World as a Tier 1 option for the Lightning Lane Multi Pass service.

Now, with Acrobatico! joining the lineup, EPCOT’s World Showcase continues to expand its offerings, giving guests more reasons to explore each pavilion beyond its dining and attractions.

While many enjoy the cultures and diverse representation in World Showcase, the location is also known for its unofficial Drinking Around the World event that many guests partake in.

When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat).

At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his… More »
