Experience the Magic of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at Epcot

Shrink down to the size of a rat and join Remy on a culinary adventure through Gusteau’s restaurant in Disney World’s newest attraction, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Based on the beloved 2007 Pixar film “Ratatouille,” this enchanting dark ride officially opened on Oct. 1 at Epcot as part of the expansion to the France World Showcase pavilion.

The “Ratatouille”-themed attraction first debuted in Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris in 2014, and the Epcot version is nearly identical. To reach the attraction, guests will wander through the beautiful new expansion of the France pavilion, where they’ll find a new crepe restaurant, La Crêperie de Paris, and whimsical architecture inspired by the film. Unique details include a fountain featuring bursting Champagne bottles and Remy. After entering through a Parisian theater, guests will follow the queue to the rooftops of Paris, where they’ll put on 3D glasses and board trackless ride vehicles shaped like rats.

Guests will experience the sights, sounds, and even smells as they scurry through Gusteau’s restaurant with a combination of physical sets and 3D scenes. Ride vehicles move and tilt to create a more immersive experience, resulting in an adorable attraction that captures the fun, whimsy, and magic of the film.

Discover the New ‘Ratatouille’ Ride at Epcot

The family-friendly attraction is a welcome addition to the World Showcase. This Epcot area is known for its internationally inspired eats and drinks in 11 beautiful pavilions. Before this attraction opened, there were only two rides at the World Showcase: the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros and Frozen Ever After. The addition of this attraction offers another Disney movie-inspired experience in the area, providing ride-loving guests something to look forward to on their journey around the lagoon.

According to Tom Fitzgerald, portfolio creative executive at Walt Disney Imagineering, they aimed to enhance the shopping, culture, and dining experiences at the World Showcase by adding something new for families with younger kids. Consequently, they decided to incorporate storytelling into their celebration of architecture, music, history, and culture.

Pixar and Walt Disney Studios filmmakers often draw inspiration from countries worldwide to create their stories, leading them to bring Disneyland Paris’ “Ratatouille”-themed attraction to Epcot’s France pavilion.

Fitzgerald believes that the addition of these attractions expands the concept of what World Showcase can be. He expressed hope for incorporating more beloved films that serve as love letters to their countries in the future, which will undoubtedly help Epcot continue to evolve.

“The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” an 18-month-long event celebrating Disney World’s 50th anniversary, began on Oct. 1 with the official opening of this attraction and numerous other exciting happenings, including the launch of two new nighttime spectaculars at Epcot and Magic Kingdom.
