Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a new attraction coming to EPCOT’s France pavilion in World Showcase. The ride, a replica of the original attraction from Disneyland Paris, will occupy a brand new section at the back of the France Pavilion, and it will open on October 1, 2021 — the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort!

In Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, riders are shrunk to rat-size and embark on a journey across Chef Gusteau’s restaurant kitchen in Paris. The ride is expected to bombard riders with the sights, sounds, and smells of a that kitchen as they’re chased through it on their way to safety!

In November 2020, at “EPCOT — The Magic of Possibility” under the D23 Fantastic Worlds Celebration, 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.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Construction

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will occupy a new building that is under construction at the back of the France Pavilion.

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

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Marquee Installed

A major milestone was reached as the attraction’s marquee sign was installed in late October 2020.

The marquee of the attraction is very unique and is meant to begin the transition from “authentic” Paris, to a more animated, Ratatouille-style Paris (as shared at “EPCOT — The Magic of Possibility” under the D23 Fantastic Worlds Celebration).

One of the theming elements outside of the attraction is the sign for Gusteau’s, the restaurant from the film.

While Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure can also be found in Disneyland Paris, the attraction in EPCOT will feature some unique elements. For instance, within the attraction, Chef Gusteau’s sign will come to life and speak to riders in both French and English, making it the first bilingual show in Disney World!

In January 2021, we got to take our first look at France pavilion’s expansion, as the first of the construction walls were removed from the area.

We can’t wait for more and more to be revealed, and to share it all with you here on the DFB!

Guests will be able to go on an adventure filled with food and fun through Gusteau’s in a vehicle similar to the Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy ones used in Disneyland Paris.

How CUTE is that???

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Sneak Peek

In November 2020, Disney shared a behind-the-scenes look at the attraction via the ABC Network. Imagineers discussed the development of the ride as well as its specific inspiration from Ratatouille. One of the Imagineers even notes that there are 4-D effects in the attraction like water, wind, and even scents!

You can watch the FULL sneak peek, including glimpses from inside the attraction below.

The France pavilion will receive a new park with benches, a news kiosk, and the previously announced La Crêperie de Paris.

Disney Imagineers 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 will be reflected in the form of the upcoming Crêperie.

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

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Opening Date

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure was originally slated to open in the summer of 2020. However, construction on the attraction was delayed due to the temporary closures of the Walt Disney World theme parks, and the attraction will now open on October 1, 2021 — the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort!

We will continue to update this page with more information as it becomes available! In the meantime…
