[po1998]

There's going to be a QS/TSR and restrooms. I believe that's it.

thx

Is the only entrance to this area going to be the walkaround across from the Friendship launch or are they opening a path through the Boulangerie somehow? I see there's an entryway being built in the facade behind the Boulangerie but that might be for service personnel.

Only one path walking around current pavilion

The Eiffel Tower actually looks fine to me.

I think it's more this shot among a few others that are cause for concern but it's not like it's terrible, it's just a little off.

A ride, a restaurant and a whole new little walkway.. what a great addition especially for modern Disney. Imagine Epcot with 3-4 more new alley-ways with a ride and a restaurant

I haven’t been on the DLP version, and I’ve purposely avoided ridethrough videos of Rat. So this is my first time seeing the ride vehicle. The design seems a little, off model to me.

How so? They look so adorable.

I agree that they’re cute. I guess it just didn’t strike me as being the same sort of look as the animation in the film. Almost like mice? I’m not trying to be critical, just sharing my initial reaction!

It's French impressionism.

It's a gigantic Tsum-Tsum-Funko Pop! collaboration RC car.

Hmmm... The Ratatouille area at WDSP is open and very well done/themed (The walkway leading into the area can feel a bit narrow during the fall, with the kiosks for their version of a Food & Wine festival, but it never really felt crowded to me). This is feeling like a "How much can we cram into this area?" kind of thing. Hoping the finished product feels more open.

They are new hybrid vehicles, to be used at all new rides. They look like both a mouse, a rat and a raccoon. For synergetic purposes. Verminbuggies, as the imagineers call them.

Walk around WS. It's obvious they try to cram in as much as possible with little respect to how much space there is. My experience at F&W a few weeks ago really showed how much they just want to cram booths and large groups of people together. It's a mad house.

I get it, booze sells but there must be a better way of adding to WS then dropping booths in walkways that need as much space as possible.

I do feel this expansion should be nice since it seems well thought out. Most people will be piling into the line for the ride.

I'm the first in line, I don't mind waiting. The construction workers seem to be looking at me weird though.

Roadentia.

Roadentia.

That's what the head imagineer called it on his Twitter too, Joe Rohdents.

Am I safe to book a June trip to ride this?

Never safe -- anything can happen to delay it further.

But there is a high probability you are good to go.

While I’ve not heard of it happening, it certainly wouldn’t shock me to see Chefs de France rethemed to Remy’s or Gusteau’s.

They've had Remy as an AA in the animatronic. I'd say this is absolutely on the table.
