The History of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure first debuted at Disneyland Paris in 2014 before making its way to EPCOT on October 1, 2021, as part of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. It’s located in the expanded France Pavilion within World Showcase, featuring a charming Parisian street, Gusteau’s signage, and even a crêpe stand! 🇫🇷
This attraction is part of EPCOT’s shift toward more family-friendly experiences, joining Frozen Ever After and Journey of Water – Inspired by Moana as newer, low-thrill rides that appeal to all ages.
The Best Parts of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
1. Trackless Ride System
Like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, this ride uses trackless vehicles, allowing for randomized movement that makes every ride feel slightly different.
2. Fun 4D Effects
The ride combines huge 3D screens, heat, mist, and scents to make you feel like you’re really scurrying through a kitchen. From the warm smell of freshly baked bread to the cool splash of mop water, every scene is incredibly immersive.
3. A Ride for All Ages
This is one of the best family-friendly rides at EPCOT. There are no big drops, no sudden scares, and no height restrictions, making it a perfect choice for younger kids.
4. Beautiful France Pavilion Expansion
Even if you don’t ride, the France Pavilion’s new section is worth exploring! It features stunning Parisian architecture, new dining options (La Crêperie de Paris), and a fun Remy-themed area.
Best Times to Ride or Avoid
Since Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is very popular, timing your ride correctly can save a lot of waiting.
✅ Best times to ride:
•Early morning: Head straight to Remy at park opening to avoid long waits.
• During big EPCOT shows (like fireworks or concerts) – Crowds move elsewhere.
•Late evening: Lines tend to drop after 7 PM when families leave for dinner or fireworks.
🚫 Times to avoid:
•Midday (11 AM – 3 PM) – This is when wait times peak.
• Right after lunch and dinner rush – The France Pavilion is busy when guests finish eating.
💡 Tip: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is included in Genie+, so if you want to skip the long lines, use Disney Genie+ to book a Lightning Lane reservation!
Does Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Have a Holiday Overlay?
No, this ride does NOT have a holiday overlay. However, during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, the France Pavilion is decorated with festive lights, and there are special Ratatouille-themed treats available! 🎄🐭
Height Requirements & Warnings
✅ Height Requirement: None! (One of the few EPCOT rides with no height restriction)
🚨 Ride Warnings:
•Mild Motion Sickness Alert: Since the ride moves with the screens, it can feel like a simulator (like Star Tours). If you’re sensitive to motion, you may want to sit toward the middle of the rat vehicle to minimize side-to-side movement.
•3D Glasses Required: If you don’t like 3D effects, this may not be the ride for you.
Is Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Worth Riding?
