EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Nunu]

Certainly possible.

Interesting. Those are my dates too.

 

[maxntina]

Hope it opens for you both!

 

[Nunu]

Hope it opens for you both!

Thanks!, not counting on it, but it'd be a nice surprise.

Tomorrowland, Future world, Toy story land (restaurant)

Wha???

What was “phase 2” for Future World? All the pavilions were planned. Adding a restaurant is “phase 2” for TSL? Not sure you can say adding Space Mountain 45 years ago really counts.

Thank you...thought I hit my head or something for a minute...

They probably need to hire a few more hands to sweep the extra dust off the ride

Ok how hard is it to hire people to portray rats?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

So, we know this ride opening is being intentionally delayed for the 50th. Okay. But previously, there was talk that lack of CMs was at least part of the issue in that there wasn't enough people to train and/or to be trained or such. As hiring has ramped up, I'm wondering if anyone knows if CMs are being hired/assigned specifically for Ratatouille?

rockinrollercoaster opened officially 7/29/99...it did testing/soft opening for quite awhile before.

it was ordered for the 2000 event.

But I’m not big on facts and nostalgia

the problem is transporting them back and forth from the executive parking lot in Burbank every day...

Plenty of attorneys available.

Or, rename the ride The Haunted Ratatouille-Adventure. Then, the dust can stay.

It’s run regularly.

 

[Squishy]

It’s run regularly.

You think they'll let me on?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

It’s run regularly.

Of course it is...and that’s a huge problem.

but you know - food booths

If you were looking for an Epcot Park Pass on Oct 1st as an AP, passes were just refreshed -

 

[Figments Friend]

I will be at Epcot on October 1st, so will get to witness first hand the likely crush of people converging in France for this.

Assuming Disney will be implementing a similar reservation system through the MDE app for those wishing to expereince the new Attraction........which of course shuts me out since i don't have access to that ( no smart phone / digital toys that work )

No big deal, i have plenty of other things to keep me occupied at Epcot ( and elsewhere ) that day....but it shall be fun to watch it all take place in person.

I may be wrong, but when we were at DHS for ROTR in GE, there were Castmembers stationed for people who had problems on their phones and I believe there were also CM that were for people without smart phones... Want to say guest services make the effort to support those guests who don't have a smart phone (like they still offer the key to kingdom card & magic bands). Know before you go, cause timing is key.

The problem is, if boarding passes run out in seconds, I imagine it would be pretty tough to get a CM to snag you one.

 

[James Alucobond]

Good idea Disney, lets open it at one of the most crowded times.

.... I'm being sarcastic.

That's literally the point. Open it when Magic Kingdom will be most crowded to potentially divert traffic to one of the least crowded parks.

 

[doctornick]

Yeah, but every place is going to be crowded during this time.

Not if they are still using Park Reservations. I mean, it could be crowded sure, but they could use that system to limit overcrowding if that is the desire.

But that would mean they wanted to limit crowds at the time they are releasing new attractions to absorb crowds.
