EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[FeelsSoGoodToBeBad]

If anyone thinks people have gotten better about respecting personal space, you may want to avoid the video floating about from a Bath and Body Works last weekend. I thought line-jumping at WDW was a hot button topic.

I went to B&BW during one of their semi-annual sales a few years ago (maybe 3 years, now?). HOLY. CRAP.

Those stores are super-small to start with and they had a line roped off in the middle of the mall that stretched in front of several stores. The checkout line was from the back of the store (where the registers are) almost back out the entrance.

NEVER. AGAIN.

Was the cause of the scuffle about line-jumping? I thought the cause was one of those anti-maskers.

Did this open yet?

Semi-annual sales are really popular events cause people don't wanna pay full price so they wait and go all out on those days. I personally do online shopping but since last year their website crashes a lot due to the volume of orders. Unless, of course you're not that into their candles and fragrances (I'm obsessed with it), might as well just go on a regular day and avoid sales.

I have a friend that spoils me every Christmas with a box of Twilight Woods body wash and moisturizing cream. I LOVE that scent but no way am I dealing with those crowds to get it. LOL

So... anything new with Ratatouille?

Still waiting to open...

If Universal can open a very-noticeable, major roller coaster in June, surely Disney can open a D-ticket no one really cares about hidden in the back of their lowest-demand park by then.

We can hope.

I think the "Lowest Demand Park" is actually pretty untrue... EPCOT is massive, everything is large, walkways space etc... It takes a massive amount of people for EPCOT to feel the least bit crowded...
While I agree they do not have a new attraction right now so they are not driving the attendance records, as soon as they bring the two new attractions online they will be massively crowded again...
DHS fees so crowded because it is a much smaller park... And of course, at this particular moment they have the newest attractions...
I would say that people still love EPCOT...

Epcot is literally the lowest demand. It is the easiest park to find a park pass for. And its capacity at present is significantly reduced.

They didn’t decide to spend $1 billion on this park because it was doing well.

$1 billion

And the rest.

Pre covid people in lines would be right up your back.
And even when WDW first reopened my wife got into a verbal conferation when she reqested some teens space out as they were literllay bumping into us. There was a language barrier and it was getting heated and I was worried about an altercation with my children there.
Just becuse we requested they stand on the marker on the ground.

We were at Animal Kingdom last night, and the people were bumping into us behind us in the line for FOP.

I would love the distance after masks are gone.
But i do look foward to the masks going away, they are brutal in the Florida Summer.

I travel solo, so when this happens to me, I let that party go by. I'm a total fan of the physical distancing!

I may of not seen it this way, but I have seen plenty of people call EPCOT, a drinking game. To an extent, I see where they are coming from.

EPCOT has always been special to me, but it is lacking attractions. I am hoping Guardians and to some extent Rat can fix this. Obviously they need more but Guardians in particular is a start.

Lowest demand and easiest to get into might not be the same thing in this case.
Epcot probably has ~double to capacity of DHS if I had to guess.

And we won’t even comment on how that money is being spent.

Nope. Not now.

They also need to rename it now. Still calling it Epcot is an offence to Epcot.

Disney Bar and Grill and Bar? Disney Festival and Bar?

I disagree, but discussion boards wouldn’t be much of a discussion if everyone agreed.

Not disagreeing with the overall sentiment, but the "no one really cares about" portion is highly debatable. A new ride at Disney World is something a huge amount of people care about and will be mobbed.
