EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Crazydisneyfanluke]

If they're repeating that for MK's 50th, then...

• Paris: Ratatouille
• Shanghai: TRON
• Hong Kong: Paint the Night
• Tokyo: well, they're not technically owned by Disney and don't have to give anything. If they were, what they'd have to offer is Mystic Manor, new Pirates otC, Monster Inc Hide & Seek, new BatB dark ride. There's always time to *announce* one of these as a 50th gift, even if it arrives late.
• Anaheim: Their ugly Sleeping Beauty Castle color scheme. I'd rather have Superstar Limo.

Tokyo: Their nighttime castle show (TDL 35TH)

Any possibility that RAT would soft open soonish? Epcot needs the boost.

Not really even a possibility for another month and change. That said, while I’d be surprised if this didn’t open by the end of the year, there is a reason that any mention of an opening timeframe has been scrubbed.

In the 19th (final) photo in the set posted by WDWMagic there appears to be a small courtyard that is under the skyliner, and has a walkway down to the water. Anyone know what that is?

Your pics of Ratatouille always seem to capture a Ratatouille gondola.

How many hours does it take your photographers to catch that?

All of that area of France has a faux scene of being able to get to the water, including walkways along the water.

Just for show.

Blue building still looks very "meh."

Looks like a possible stroller parking lot

Stroller parking. Relocated there when the crêperie was added.

There was a film crew at Epcot going towards France two days ago when I was There.

As others above mentioned, the courtyard is stroller parking. The path down to the water, apart from looking nice, should also serve a practical purpose as an access walkway for crews of the Friendships. You'll often see one or two of the boats docked there in the afternoon so they can be placed back into service quickly for the evening rush. Also explains why that little path was built with walkway lighting.

You can see there was an existing walkway along the seawall; the little winding path now connects that area to the France pavilion.

I really like these photos, I feel like I now understand the layout of the whole new area much better.

But what is the square building you come to first when you come through the arch and to the paved area? The one we see the roof of in pics 8&9 and then see properly later on? Is it the “notorious” Creperie?

Is it the “notorious” Creperie?

yep!

That building is never going to look good because the design is wrong.

With that said, that can't possibly be the final paint job. They clearly have more to do.

I really, really hope you’re right. The whole thing is just so incongruous, I have no idea what they were thinking.

My non-insider Magic 8-Ball says... “Don’t count on it”. But it’s been wrong before, once. Maybe twice.

They've still got gaps for flower boxes under the windows, so they're not finished. I assume touching up the paint will be part of that too, because it's impossible for me to believe anyone in the world could look at that paint and think it looks good/finished.

Doesn't really matter, though, because the building is going to stand out as completely incongruous regardless.
