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!

Remy’s Ratâtatouille Adventure

We were fortunate to attend a preview of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure on September 1, 2021, and then an additional ride through at a special event on September 3rd. We are so excited to share this fun adventure with you here!

YOU can RIDE WITH US — through MORE pics and videos — on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure HERE!

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 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

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.

As part of Ratatouille’s Paris, Remy has received his very own fountain! And we are able to share it with you from our First Look here!

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).

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 each seat.

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 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

There are TWO ways guests are able to access Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Please note that the ride is also equipped with a traditional Standby lane and a Single Riders lane in addition to the more unique methods of access we’ll be discussing below; however, we are not certain when these lanes will be available for riders.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure

So here, we’re focusing on the Virtual Queue and the Individual Attraction Selection option.

Virtual Queue

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure utilizes a Virtual Queue for rider access. Virtual Queue made its debut with Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and you can read about how the process works here.

©Disney

Virtual Queue is available through the My Disney Experience app, so guests wishing to ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure should definitely read up on and install the My Disney Experience app before their trip!

©Disney

Guests will need valid park admission and an EPCOT Disney Park Pass to access the Virtual Queue system via the My Disney Experience app.

Starting at 7AM on the day of their reservation, guests will be able to select the Join button to gain a spot — known as a “Boarding Pass” in the Virtual Queue. (This process can take place from anywhere, as long as you have that reservation.)

Click HERE to learn how to make the required Park Pass reservation for EPCOT.

If you are unable to get a Boarding Group at 7AM due to high demand, there will be a second chance at 1PM when the second Boarding Group window opens. (The 1PM window can only be accessed AFTER you have entered EPCOT for the day.)

Remember, guests MUST start their day in EPCOT to access Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure through the Virtual Queue. If you have a Disney Park Pass reservation to a park other than EPCOT, you will not be able to access the Virtual Queue.

Individual Attraction Selection

Virtual Queue is NOT the only way to access Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. The ride is available as an Individual Attraction Selection for Lightning Lane access which debuted alongside Disney Genie and Disney Genie+.

Guests can opt to purchase Lightning Lane access for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (which they do NOT need a Boarding Group to use) for a fee that will vary based on date. Though rates will vary, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will likely typically range from $9 – $11 per guest.

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 has debuted 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 that way for guests to interact with cuisine after experiencing the ride is of major importance.

Classique Galette at La Creperie

Both of these new eateries also officially opened on October 1, 2021. We have been able to dine at each during the previews we attended, and 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!

France Expansion

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!
