EPCOT's La Signature Perfume Shop Set to Reopen This Week
Published October 12, 2026
La Signature, the perfume shop in the France Pavilion at EPCOT, is reportedly set to reopen later this week after being closed for refurbishment since June. According to reports, operating hours for the shop had been listed for today before the calendar was updated to show the new reopening date.
As of Monday, October 12, 2026, the shop remains closed, and the reopening was reported — not announced by Disney — earlier today.
The closure has run roughly four months, long enough that most guests who visited World Showcase over the summer never saw the shop open. La Signature sits in the France Pavilion alongside the pavilion’s other retail and dining spaces, so the France shopping area has been operating a storefront short since June.
The reported reopening is a return of an existing location, not a new concept. Nothing in the available coverage indicates a rebranding, a relocation within the pavilion, or a change to what the shop sells.
What we know
- La Signature (France Pavilion, EPCOT) — perfume shop, closed for refurbishment since June.
- Reopening — reportedly set for later this week; the specific date was not included in the coverage available.
- Operating hours — had been listed for today, October 12, then removed from the calendar.
- Scope of work — not detailed; no changes to merchandise, location, or branding have been reported.
What’s not confirmed
Disney has not confirmed the reopening, the exact date, or what the refurbishment involved. There is also no confirmation of whether the shop’s hours will match its pre-closure schedule when it returns.
What it means for your trip
If a France Pavilion fragrance stop was on your list for an EPCOT day this week, treat it as likely but not locked. Calendar entries for shops shift more than ride calendars do, and a single-outlet report with no date attached is the softest version of this news.
The practical move: plan your World Showcase loop as if the shop is closed, then check it in person when you pass through France. Walking the pavilion costs you nothing — it is on the natural path between Morocco and the United Kingdom — so you lose no time if it is still dark.
If you are visiting later in October or November, this is a non-issue; a reopening this week means it should be open by then. For guests in the parks right now, the France Pavilion’s other draws (the bakery and the pavilion’s table-service dining) are unaffected and worth building the stop around regardless.
