EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[FigmentsBrightIdeas]

I think it's touchy with Remy in a nice French restaurant. Having any loud characters whether human or rodent would change the atmosphere. I'd prefer the character to be fun in the ride only and not have to think about the prevalence of rats in the actual kitchen. Just my take.

Oh, I didn’t mean anything like a loud meet n greet character dancing & singing with guests. But moreso of a quiet, intimate experience with the guests. Much like the original meet n greet with Remy was. Like he was fun with the diners but not in a way that’s super disruptive or loud to the other patrons. It wouldn’t take away from the high quality restaurant, atmosphere, or dining experience I think.. but I get your concerns/hesitation with that concept depending on its execution

I was speaking more to the idea of a Chef having fun with guests, as even just Remy showing up would be kind of loud. I'm sure they could work in an exit meet with the character that wouldn't be intrusive, but CDF (from memory, it's been a while) was more of a quiet, serious restaurant.

Then again, if they did some sort of breakfast/brunch at CDF or MP with Remy (a la Topolino's Terrace), that could be a big hit that doesn't affect the dinner options.

I like the Topolino’s Restaurant idea. Or as an exiting experience as you said.but yeah, you definitely wouldn’t want it disruptive to the other patrons

what if they’d created a new/unique French Chef character original to EPCOT

Response from Bob at the meeting...

So any talk of any soft openings or any previews prior to October 1? Are cast fully trained able to run it?

Or you could take the opportunity to provide kids a glimpse into what a classic Parisian eatery looks like, granted it’s in Orlando Florida, but there is something to be admired about the design and architecture of Chef de France.

In your personal opinion they’re “boring”. But honestly, you could easily build Chez Remy someplace like Disney’s Hollywood Studios if need be had they put the cloned Ratatouille attraction there like DSP did. EPCOT’s ‘supposed’ to showcase real life/real world settings & concepts in a way that’s fun & captivating but not in anyway that compromises the original integrity of those places. That’s why I say the better approach would be to bring ‘elements’ of some of the characters like meet n greets and things of that nature to some pavilions & restaurants… but not in a way that compromises it’s authenticity to the real life place.

We can have both, real France and ratatouille France. They'd just have to get rid of that Craperie in the back.

Their was a media event for food and wine, and as part of it they invited the media into the courtyard area for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. They weren’t able to film, so unclear how much of it they were able to see.

Me too…a week later.

Anyone know how many people I could get in if it’s a DVC preview? We have 8 people in a 2 bedroom villa but only 4 of us are DVC owners.

How do you get selected if you are a member of the preview group?

How do you get selected if you are a member of the preview group?

If they have previews for certain groups, like DVC or AP holders, they have previously announced a registration date that you can sign up for a preview. Given it’s Epcot it shouldn’t be a problem to register and then book a park reservation for that day.

I feel like their goal is to give a “preview” to anyone possible so by October 1st it won’t be chaos.

I already had my preview… Nearly 3 years ago at WDSP. I’d like my kids to ride, though, they’ll enjoy it.
