News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[DCLcruiser]

I rode Rat at DLP and it was pretty good. You really get a sense of being très petite (get it) in the kitchen. The ride overall is similar to all of the Uni rides with a car that goes from screen to screen. I noticed the seam and floor, but it's not a big deal once the ride starts throwing you around.

It’s a very nice lobby. I don’t believe anywhere said it’s grand. Or did you expect an atrium?View attachment 383946

We’ve our third stay coming at this resort next year.

Looks like a Disney resort to me...it's not wide open like Wilderness Lodge, but neither are the lobbies at Yacht and Beach, Boardwalk, Kidani, or I imagine Saratoga and Old Key West (never been to either).

It is nice, yes, yes - I just didn't want @MansionButler84 to expect:

Sequoia is a hotel 'themed' to a national park, the same way a prom might have a theme, or a subject matter. But the WDW lodge is themed - like, you could believe you are there in Yellowstone or Yosemite.

I do concur, Sequoia is probably is the best place for your money among all the DLP resort hotels.

Ironically, it looks like Reflections—A Disney Lakeside Lodge lol.

Right! I thought that - but that might skew your expectations TOO much the other, modern way.

I'm glad my description of it as "a heavily budget cut Wilderness Lodge with some random wood and rock theming stuck in places" to my parents is holding up (I know they're leagues apart). This was my choice prior to this converstaion when I make my trip. Looks nice enough and doesn't obliterate the bank. Definitely glad everyone likes it and can't wait to see it in person.


So how about that Rat ride? Some minor updates:

Whoa! That's unacceptable.

C'mon, this should be an easy 'build a little Moroccan tower there to hide it' fix.

Not even, they could paint it shades of brown and stick a fake window or two on it and call it a day.

The building's exterior is "go away green", what more do you monsters want from them!?!?!?!

Uuuuhhh... "shut it down brown"? Brain isn't coming up with good rhymes for brown...

That wouldn’t work as that would stick out even worse from across the lagoon. They could a should add something simple to fill the gap.

Ah, didn't even think of that at all. Makes sense now.

Some well placed Palm tress could cover it up pretty well.

They’ll go with an Aladdin and Jasmine on Carpet topiary as they bring the Morocco pavilion’s sight lines to a whole new world.

Well that's good to hear. I thought my room at the Santa Fe was actively trying to kill me.

Really? If musical theatre (Newsies, Rent) has taught me anything, it's that I'm supposed to really want to go to Santa Fe!

Reminds me of the Thunderbird Lodge at the Grand Canyon... it's not the El Tovar, but it's not a Motel 6 either.

Or they could just paint some palm trees on the side and call it a day.

It's already painted green. ~high five on a job well-done~

Shhhhhh, don’t give them any ideas!
