i dont agree with that. They took a small amount of land and did a good job with it imo. Great e-ticket ride and an even better theater, all in a well themed little area. I think its all pretty cool

the area looks great… the ride, not so much.

We were here for DVC previews and rode it four times. It was a 10 minute wait. I fully expect it to be more crowded for AP previews, though (I'm going again a week from today for an AP preview)

You're quite welcome! Our arrival time was 6 pm and it was dead. Ten minute wait. You can stay as long as you want; you just have to arrive within your window. No food was open; they were selling bottled drinks and souvenirs, and there's restrooms within the preview area.

Is over an acre and a half for a dark ride really that impressive, especially one where most of the ride time is spent "dancing" around three not particularly large rooms for a minute each?

I think the ride has a couple of impressive moments but overall should have been significantly better.
I also think it still looks better than Ratatouille, although it wouldn't have really fit in EPCOT so I'm not saying they should have chosen it over Rat.
Good info, thanks. So, Creperie de Paris wasn't open? Thought it'd be.

They wanted the ride to be high capacity by having 6 teacups. The ride suffered as 6 huge teacups requires a huge space. If they made it 4 teacups then they could have added one or two more scenes. I don't think it's a "major" misstep.

per the standard that is Tokyo, they did.

I actually think it is a major misstep. The ride is mostly disappointing, with some good moments.

I think the only major misstep (in terms of what they built) is the winter scene. It takes up a ton of space, lasts forever, and basically nothing happens. The rest of the ride ranges from okay to good, even though a lot of it could be easily improved. They should have showcased some other things -- the winter scene would be significantly better if you started out in the library and then moved out into the snow for a shorter period of time, just as one example.
I'd still prefer having it added to Fantasyland at WDW than TRON to Tomorrowland or Ratatouille to EPCOT, though, if I had to make a choice. I'd rather ride it than the other two. That's not to say I'm mad about either of them coming to WDW; it's just if I had to pick one of the three it would be BatB even with its flaws.

Beautiful! Still feel that a few full on rat costumed CM's scurrying around interacting w the guests would give that extra touch.Disney previews Remy's Ratatouille Adventure as opening nears at EPCOT'S expanded France pavilion

This might be the best addition in years to the parks that hans't been whole 10 plus acre addition. The quality is mostly old school Disney here. I wish they would have added some street art to one of the areas to make it seems a bit more Parisian but overall it's well done.
I would love for Disney to do this sort of thing in Japan or China and give them a proper addition.

Disney has work to do with the parks in the USA as it is. I suggest taking care of what's at home first before overseas.
