The 'Ratatouille' Ride At Disney Is Opening This Fall So Grab Your Chef's Hat

From Delish

Update, March 11, 2021: Disney fans, we finally have a new grand opening date for the Ratatouille-inspired ride at Epcot: October 1. Yes, that means you could be in possession of a chef's hat while scurrying through Gusteau’s restaurant just like Remy as soon as this fall.

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will open in honor of Walt Disney World's 50th-anniversary celebration. Located in an expanded section of the park’s France pavilion, the ride will make guests feel as though they've shrunk down to the size of a rat and are navigating the famed Gusteau's.

Near the ride, a new restaurant called La Crêperie de Paris will also open on October 1. It'll offer both quick bites and table service with menu items like sweet crepes, savory buckwheat galettes (which are gluten-friendly!), and authentic French hard cider. Sounds like a menu Gusteau himself would approve!

Original, September 22, 2020: At the end of 2019 it was announced that a Ratatouille-themed ride would be making its way to Disney World's Epcot in Orlando. A lot has changed since then and with the closing of the parks due to coronavirus, construction has been delayed, but one TikTok user posted a photo giving a sneak peek of what's to come.

In the video, you can clearly see a sign on a gate that says "Ratatouille" which looks like the entrance to the ride. It also shows a statue of Remy on top of a cheese wheel wearing a chef hat which is not only a great photo opp, but likely also a way for visitors to spot where the attraction is located.

The ride will be in the France pavilion of Epcot and was first set to open during summer 2020. Laughing Place, a Disney Parks fan blog, posted a update on the Ratatouille attraction based on information gathered while on the Disney Skyliner above the park. According to the blog, the banner announcing it would be open in "Summer 2020" has been taken down but not yet replaced with a new opening date.

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will be a trackless dark ride that will allow guests to "shrink" down to the size of a rat and follow Remy as he runs around Gusteau’s kitchen and will be based on the similar ride at Disneyland Paris. In December 2019, Disney posted a photo of the ride vehicles. There has also been work done on the new creperie in Epcot's Paris, so looks like we'll be getting some Chef Remy-level food debuting right alongside the ride.
