News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[George]

Just you wait for the inevitable IP-fication. My money's on a Little Mermaid overlay.

'Things are much better, down where it's...'

If we're going the classic Disney IP route, might as well do a mash-up featuring things like "A Tail as Old as Time". But, I'm worried this is too creative for the modern product. My guess is that they buy the rights to the culturally famous Debbie series of movies and the historically important Deep Throat and call it a day. Big Umbrella held up by big tent poles leads one to this conclusion.

So with this new address that @danlb_2000 posted in the permit thread being in the middle of nowhere do you think they actually put a phony address on the permit? They wouldn't do that right? Has to be a simple error of omission or something like that right? I mean they wouldn't really - right??

Falsifying legal documents is typically illegal. The permit is for mock-ups and those being done off site is nothing unusual.

That address is not in the middle of nowhere, or a phony address. It's actually a service area right across the street from Animal Kingdom Lodge, Kidani Village. They cannot file a permit for a place that doesn't exist or is not where the work is being performed.

Which mapping site/app gave you this? Every search I did put that address way out in Kissimmee. This address makes much more sense for building mockups.

That was done with Apple Maps. For some reason Google maps put it's out in Kissimmee near John Young Parkway. They don't seem to acknowledge that there are 2 of the same street address but in the different cities.

I just googled it. Ignoring all the West Osceola Parkway results, Osceola without the west drops it around here. Which makes sense since Osceola (without the west) was designed to continue west, past AKL, to the 429 before Western Way took it over.

Google maps does have some wacky results on this one for some reason. I tried all the scenarios and it always came up right at the Shingle Creek bridge on West Osceola parkway. That road stays West Osceola Parkway all the way to the Florida Turnpike well east of Disney. At that point it continues on as East Osceola Parkway. That's been the naming since it opened although the west and east designations are rarely used around here. In the early planning stages it was going to be called Dart Blvd/Road but was changed to Osceola Parkway to match the county it's in when it was built. I live about a mile from that road and drive it all the time.

Well damn, it was such an evil theory........

 

[devoy1701]

Yeah, seems to match up quite nicely with the existing rear of the pavilion. My big question is what is the structure that I marked as "D"? It looks like the structure already exists, but in the concept, it almost looks like a train/trolley station leading into a tunnel...

Wow. if this lines up, France is going to be a HUGE pavilion!

It is indeed huge. The gift shop, IG, and gondola station are all designed to be architecturally in line with France, so, one can consider that to be an extension of France.

They did give us the Statue of Liberty, so...

Slightly off topic, but has anyone seen Impressions de France recently and thought the image quality looked better than ever?

 

[disreport]

I last saw it back in November and it still looked pretty blurry on movement. Pretty crisp on the still shots but nothing different since the theatre went digital. Something going on more recently?

I might stop by Epcot today just to check it out.
