EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[yensidtlaw1969]

Lol OK. I thought it was an covered area where you could plank at if you wanted to...

I mean . . . I suppose a hotel isn't not that . . .

Here you go

If WDI was going for a cross between Versailles and the rest stops on the NJ Turnpike, they hit a home run! This is just oozing France.

On a positive note, I think the Eiffel Tower views from the new part of the pavilion are better than expected.

I can't believe I'm seeing live streams from vloggers for an opening of restrooms.

The bathrooms are good. I don’t know if many people understand just how much work goes into building a bathroom. They are expensive and time consuming.

 

[Giss Neric]

Our favorite “Hill” is saying ratatouille will open any day

Feb for CM and APs/DVC and March for the public most likely.

if it makes them happy and it doesn’t hurt anyone, where is the issue?

It's not a negative thing but during opening of Gideon's or Everglazed some waited and not be there right on opening day live streaming. This is just a walkway leading up to restrooms. Were they expecting softs, I don't think so.

You *May* be a little early

Well, we’re now on year 7 of 7DMT and the hype hasn’t seemed to die... Hopefully it dies a little once Tron opens.

7DMT is located in a prime location inside Magic Kingdom's most popular land. Plus, it's a roller coaster. PLUS, it's a FAMILY roller coaster. Coasters will always attract lots of people no matter how old it gets (Unless its wooden).

Ratatouille is quite a trek to get to, unless you're entering the park in the back via skyline/walking. I'd be willing to bet that Rat will be about as popular as Frozen Ever After is today, in about a decade.

What the heck! Are they really trying to compete opening this with Velocicoaster? That coaster still has a work to do but this ride and expansion area is ready.

Universal is still building Velocicoaster so it can open alongside increased park capacities.

The ultimate goal of new attractions is to increase attendance, and when you are limiting attendance, there is no real reason to open expensive attractions designed to draw people in.

Rat sitting ready is no different from Super Nintendo World in Osaka sitting ready. This isn't a situation of being Disney dumb.

You could argue that Disney's decision to delay Tron and Guardians by a significant margin is a mistake, but Universal has also delayed Epic Universe by ~2+ years despite Covid almost definitely being in the rear view mirror by the original opening year of 2023.

The ride is indoors. How do you know it's "ready"?

 

[MisterPenguin]

They put in a pretty chunky wall instead of the rolling bushes, I think it is going to be there for a while.

Are you *sure*?? Jim Hill says it's going to open any day now!!!

I'm completely empathetic on what is happening but salty at the same time. I'm just tired of delays.

Sorry if this was asked and answered, but what is the projected opening date? We will be there In mid March and was looking forward to seeing the New France pavilion.

Maybe but certainly no guarantee.

Real insiders have said:

1. Mar-Jun
2. Mar the earliest
3. May

No longer an insider has said: Any day now (for the past few months).

I’m not sure what people are expecting? The majority of epcot restrooms are brown tiles and beige walls.

Yeah, Disney doesn't usually theme the interior of bathrooms much if at all. I think the Tangled ones threw people's expectations out of whack.

If you want to see it, take the Skyliner for the best views. Unless "New France" is your name for Quebec.
