EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure to transition to 2D with brief refurbishment in November 2025

[TrainsOfDisney]

Did we get extra set pieces?

The Paris version reopens later this month.

Not yet - I’m interested what Paris added though. I would hope they plan on adding them to Florida as well one day.

It was implied but never said as far as I know. Was that promised? Wouldn't be mad if we got a little something extra to make up for the diminished ride experience. Without 3D it's such a boring attraction. A proper C ticket now.

I agree, its pointless to bother riding on this anymore. My party agreed last month it was boring, not as fun, and a waste of time. I didn't even ask what they thought after and before I could they were clearly stating how it zapped all the fun out of it. Not sure who's bright idea this was but so much for that attraction.

This is sarcasm, right? While I prefer the 3D, I certainly don’t see it as a waste of time, nor do the long lines of guests waiting to ride every day.

From the OP:

Here's the full announcement: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will experience a short downtime Nov. 10-13, 2025 and will return with enhanced digital visuals and clearer imagery projected in 2D. Remy’s fans will spot new props and lighting enhancements when they are added to the queue and attraction over the next few months.

I don’t see it as a downgrade at all, it lets you see the more elaborate scenes way better like the fridge, the moving cart wheels, duct.

I sort of miss the 3D.

I prefer 2D version, so upgrade for me.

Yep same with people I have ridden it with! Not nearly as immersive....

I prefer the newer version as I wear glasses anyway and it was a faff covering them with the old 3D glasses. Personally I don't miss the handful of 3D effects and think it's just as good without but others are welcome to disagree.

I can totally understand this and respect your opinion. I agree that the 3D “gags” aren’t really missed. For me it’s the depth that 3D added as well as the lack of peripheral vision that the glasses caused, both helping to make the screens blend better with the surroundings.

Still a fun attraction either way and one that never should have to serve as an “E” when it’s at best a “D”. Just not enough attractions in WS to eat the crowds today.

You are supposed to continue draining glasses of wine until you think there are enough attractions.

Paris has soft opened with the new props and effects. The new props seem to be focused on blending the screen edges with the environment. According to the official WDW announcement, these new props and lighting enhancements should be added to the WDW attraction soon.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will experience a short downtime Nov. 10-13, 2025 and will return with enhanced digital visuals and clearer imagery projected in 2D. Remy’s fans will spot new props and lighting enhancements when they are added to the queue and attraction over the next few months.

Here’s the ones I spotted.

New prop: oversized linguini noodles

New prop: hard to tell, but looks like the edge of the push cart.

New projection effect: moving shadow projection featuring a moving belt of various kitchen supplies and rats.

New prop: finale scene, new oversized wood cutting board and napkin.

So is it just props that mask the transition between screen and floor?

That’s primarily what I spotted. There’s also the tasteful projection effect in the hallway scene. That’s a pretty frequent spot for getting temporarily delayed and the effect will give those guests something more to look at than a themed wall while they await clearance for the next scene.

I hate 3D glasses they give me a headache so I'm cool with this change but it's just a shame they didn't decide this when they built it so we could have possible more scenes and props.
