Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a new attraction in EPCOT’s France pavilion in World Showcase. The ride, a replica of the original attraction from Disneyland Paris, occupies a brand new area in the back of the France Pavilion, and officially opened on October 1, 2021 — the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort!

The ride bombards guests with the sights, sounds, and smells of the kitchen as they’re chased through it on their way to safety!

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure — Setting the Scene

Prior to the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Disney shared that this attraction was designed specifically to match the environment of EPCOT’s France Pavilion. Roger Gould, a creative director with Pixar, described it as “Ratatouille’s Paris,” rather than recreating an “authentic” Paris.

As part of Ratatouille’s Paris, Remy has received his very own fountain!

The Fountain of Rats!

Disney used a new piece in this fountain so the presentation mimics the popping of bottles of champagne (as opposed to having water regularly pouring out of the fountain).

CHEERS!

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure — The Story

Let’s start with a SPOILER ALERT: If you do NOT wish to learn anything about the story before experiencing the ride for yourself, just keep scrolling to the next BOLD TITLED SECTION to learn about important things like ATTRACTION ACCESS, fun “SQUEAK PEEKS” and more!

Sooo… what carries you around Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure? Why, it’s your very own RAT!

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure

Each “rat” ride vehicle offers 2 rows with 3 seats per row (for a total of 6 guests per ride). The bench-like seats have small dividers between them.

The vehicles are similar to the ones used at Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in that they operate using a trackless system.

Chef Gusteau himself is ready to greet you when you first enter the attraction, and you’ll see him in a brand new way — along with everything else in the ride — thanks to your 3-D glasses. (P.S. You may even spot a Hidden Mickey in the introduction!)

Chef Gusteau

Chef Gusteau mentions that Remy is expecting YOU. Next, you’ll head to the roof of Gusteau’s Restaurant where you’ll see Remy! (FUN FACT: Chef Gusteau’s sign comes to life and speaks to riders in both French and English within the attraction, making it the first bilingual show in Disney World!)

Remy is trying to decide what dish to make for the food critic visiting the restaurant. (Hidden detail!! At this point in the ride, you’ll see the shadow of a very familiar truck from Toy Story in the far right in the window — keep your eyes peeled!)

Perhaps you can guess… Remy chooses to create his signature dish: RATATOUILLE!

The window opens to the restaurant below… and YOU fall along with Remy into the kitchen. Surprise! You’ve suddenly shrunken down to the side of rat! You’ll scurry with Remy around the the kitchen as our pal Linguini tries to hide you from Chef Skinner.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Ride Access

In its opening months, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure utilized a Virtual Queue as a line management tool common to new attractions.

However, on January 10, 2022, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure switched to a traditional Standby line for rider access.

The ride is also available as an Individual Lightning Lane Attraction Selection for pay-per-ride Lightning Lane access which debuted alongside Disney Genie and Disney Genie+.*

Guests can opt to purchase Lightning Lane access (and thereby bypass the Standby line) for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure for a fee that varies by date and time, typically between $9 – $11 per guest.

*PLEASE NOTE: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is available as a Disney Genie+ option from May 31 – August 7, 2022 (which means that guests who purchase the Disney Genie+ option at $15 per guest, per day are able to access Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure as one of the included ride options during those dates). You can learn more about how Disney Genie+ works HERE.

Click HERE to learn more about Individual Attraction Selection as a pay-per-ride option (AND Disney Genie+) to access Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is available during Early Theme Park Entry (a benefit available to all Disney World Resort hotel guests) and Extended Evening Hours (a benefit available to select Disney World Resort hotel guests).

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure — Fun Details!

Aaah, we love those famous Disney details, don’t you? Here’s an example: in an area near the entrance to the ride you’ll see a display of various wines by the name of Chateau Ego — you may recognize both the name and the image on the bottles from the Ratatouille film.

Take a close look…

Now, you’ll want to pay extra close attention here. Take a close look at the years listed on the bottles.

Chateau Ego

2007 is the year that Ratatouille was released. In 2014, the Ratatouille attraction opened in Disneyland Paris. And 2021, of course, is the year the ride made its debut in Disney World!

France Pavilion Expansion

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure occupies a new building at the back of the France Pavilion.

The ride building is visible from the park’s International Gateway, and can also be seen by guests as they travel by way of the Disney Skyliner!

As guests wind their way to the attraction through the newly expanded area, they’ll also see the new Table Service restaurant, La Crêperie de Paris, and new Quick Service window, Crêpes À Emporter. 

France Pavilion expansion

Disney Imagineers previously expressed that the restaurant at the end of the Disneyland Paris version of the ride is a crucial element to the design, so EPCOT required a real food element as well, which is reflected in the form of the Crêperie and the accompanying Crêpes window.

La Creperie de Paris

At its core, the ride is about experiencing food, much like Remy does, so having a way for guests to interact with cuisine after experiencing the ride was of major importance during the design phase.

Classique Galette at La Creperie

Both of these new eateries also officially opened on October 1, 2021. You can find our review of La Crêperie de Paris here.

The marquee for the attraction, which was installed in October 2020, is unique in that it is meant to begin the transition from “authentic” Paris, to the more animated, Ratatouille-style Paris as discussed above.

Looking back over the history of the expansion, in January 2021 we were able to take our first look at the France pavilion’s expansion, as the first of the construction walls were removed from the area.

And in July, we were able to step further into the pavilion!

The expansion includes a charming new park with benches, and plenty of places to relax and enjoy the scenery, which includes views of the Disney Skyliner.

And, if you look closely, you’ll find nods to our friend Remy just about everywhere! For example, if you give a good long look at this fence facing the Disney Skyliner station, you may notice that something in the iron-work seems familiar…

Fence along the walkway

Look carefully at these designs, and you can see the outline of a rat! His pointy nose and ear are on the left, and his long, curly tail extends to the edge of the gate section.

There’s Remy!

And that’s just ONE example. Click here to see many more!
