Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a new attraction at Disney’s Epcot-French Pavilion that lets riders explore the world of Remy, one of the stars in Disney Pixar’s hit movie “Ratatouille”. The attraction takes place in an old-fashioned French kitchen and features some of Remy’s friends from the film including Emile. Riders help Remy prepare his famous ratatouille dish. This ride will be open to guests starting on October 1st, coinciding with Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
The France Pavilion has recently undergone renovations to make it more immersive for visitors. Guests can now fully enjoy their time exploring this beautiful country with its diverse culture and artistry through various activities such as dining, shopping, and entertainment. There’s even a new pathway that will make guests feel like they have been transported to a Parisian park along the River Seine.
Guests strolling through the new mini-land will be surrounded by all of Paris’ beauty. As they stroll along, taking in this beautiful path made to look like decomposed granite found throughout parks and gardens across Paris, they can look for rat motifs on surrounding railing and benches to prepare them for the fun that’s just around the corner with Ratatouille’s Adventure.
Guests will soon arrive at La Crêperie de Paris, a restaurant serving sweet and savory crepes. It features the famous blue façade from the Brittany region of France, featured prominantly throughout the French Pavilion. Guests are then transported to Remy’s world inside Paris after they walk under an ornate, cast-iron arcade. The facades feature a robust color palette and details that evoke the cartoon world seen in Ratatouille.
Guests will be excited to explore the corner of Paris and discover hidden details throughout. For example, there is a chef wearing a top hat in front of the fountain which reminds guests that Chef Remy can also be found inside this attraction. The illuminated Gusteau’s sign in the distance hints at what adventures await within this exciting Epcot ride while noticing an homage to where it all began – on a manhole cover near by!
Guests to the restaurant will notice some fun nods to other characters from this film, such as these wine bottles in the neighboring storefront featuring Anton Ego. Eagle-eyed fans might recognize that they feature different vintages and relate back to milestone years for “Ratatouille” story. Nearby Guests can find Chef Skinner’s scooter and Colette’s motorbike too!
Throughout this new expansion, guests can explore the world of Remy, Ratatouille and Colette. Guests will discover hidden details inside of the attraction that tell stories about their favorite characters. Opening October 1, this new attraction and expansion promises to make Epcot a hot destination at the beginning of the 50th anniversary celebration!
