EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Surferboy567]

There’s no question that it will open by 10-1-21. The question is, do they open in Spring because it can or do they pick a date in the summer. I gather they want to see a few more weeks of covid numbers. That bump a couple weeks back spooked them.

I agree, no question they won’t sit on an attraction for that long. The thing that makes me wonder is that it seems Universal is content with opening their mega E ticket soon. I don’t think they announced a date yet but judging by their constant teasing and testing it seems to be soon. Why aren’t Disney ok with opening an attraction as well?

Is it only optics? Is it crowding fears? Maybe a bit of both. I can understand them wanting to see more data but nothing stops them from announcing a timeframe or season.

Tell them not to look after Spring Break.

But they know that already.

There again Rat has been tested and tested.

You just can’t see it.

Let’s hope not...

No doubt it’s been tested I am just questioning their philosophy on opening a new attraction so late in the game.

I know they don’t compare in the slightest. Wouldn’t it be wise for them to open an attraction to maybe take some of the attention off Velocicoaster. Not saying, they are comparable in any sense but if I was Disney I would be trying to open things. Especially with the 50th.

It would be, but... The Bob’s subscribe to the Blue Ocean theory in Orlando, or at least did.

Yeah the weeks after Spring Break may not look to pretty.

OCTOBER 1ST?!?!

ETA:

Just announced on shareholder call.

 

[DCBaker]

Per Chapek - Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will be opening on October 1st.

 

[Surferboy567]

That is crazy, am I the only one thinking that?

EDIT: Had a feeling something would be announced.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Crazy.

 

[pdude81]

Oh come on

I guess it... makes sense? It's being opened as a 50th addition officially, to pad the 50th.

ETA:

Yep...

Ugh I hate this

Looks like they won’t even open the crepe window before October 1st. Leading me to believe they won’t take the walls down. This decision is...interesting.

"Also opening Oct. 1 will be La Crêperie de Paris, a new restaurant offering both table- and quick-service options. The menu will feature sweet crepes, savory buckwheat galettes (naturally gluten friendly) and authentic French hard cider."

Pretty comical...but based on the general way things are going lately I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I really want to give this place I love the benefit of the doubt, but it is becoming increasingly harder by the day.

 

[pdude81]

Maybe they want less people to go to Epcot. Nothing makes sense anymore. It's still been my favorite park, even chopped up, but will spend less time there now. With the monstrosity in WSL I was hoping for something to look forward to.

But, but Jim Hill said it would open any day now!
