The MouseHub take

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is a trackless 4D dark ride in the France pavilion at EPCOT, open since October 1, 2021 as part of an expanded pavilion near the International Gateway. Riders shrink to the size of Chef Remy and board a rat-shaped car that scurries through the kitchen, the dining room, and the walls of Gusteau's restaurant. The cars travel in sets of three with no track underneath, and each one takes a different path, so no two trips line up. Larger-than-life sets carry most of the scenes, with projection domes filling in the chases. Water, heat, and the smell of a working kitchen come with it.

It fits a morning at the International Gateway end of the park or an evening lap of World Showcase. There is no height requirement and the motion stays gentle, so a family with a toddler rides together instead of taking turns. The screens are the catch. Riders prone to motion sickness report dizziness from the domes and the spinning, and anyone hunting drops and speed will find better use of an hour elsewhere in the park. Pixar fans and families with small kids come off happiest.

At a glance

Best for
Families riding together with young kids, and anyone who wants a Ratatouille scene at rat scale without a drop in it.
Skip if
Projection screens and spinning vehicles set off your motion sickness, or you came to EPCOT for speed.
Ride type
4D trackless dark ride through a restaurant kitchen
Intensity
Mild motion with no drops, but the cars spin and the projection domes set off motion sickness in riders prone to it. Dark rooms throughout.

The good

  • The cars run with no track underneath
    Rat-shaped vehicles scurry across the floor in sets of three, and each one takes its own path through the restaurant. Riders single out the moment the cars break formation in the kitchen.
  • No height requirement, no split parties
    Disney lists this one as Any Height, so toddlers and grandparents board the same car and the group clears the line once. Riders under 7 need someone 14 or older with them.
  • Built sets sit right beside the screens
    Giant food, utensils, and kitchen furniture surround the cars between the projection domes. The handoff from a physical prop to a screen is what sells the shrunk-to-rat-size scale.
  • You can smell the kitchen
    Disney built this as a 4D experience and the smells of the restaurant are part of it. Riders also report heat off the stove and a spray of water during the chase.
  • Wheelchair users board without leaving the chair
    Disney lists a wheelchair access vehicle here alongside a transfer access vehicle, with designated transfer and load areas for both. A party traveling with a wheelchair boards away from the main dock.

The bad

  • The screens make plenty of riders queasy
    Domed projections, 3D glasses, and a vehicle that spins add up to dizziness for anyone sensitive to it. The chase scenes across the kitchen floor are where riders say it hits.
  • The line spills outside into the sun
    Standby backs up into an open overflow area in the France pavilion on busy afternoons, with little shade over it. That stretch draws more complaints than the ride itself.
  • Breakdowns and evacuations happen
    The ride system goes down during operating hours often enough that reviewers mention it. Getting walked off a stopped vehicle, or losing a place in line, is the usual outcome.
  • A lot of it is spent facing a screen
    Several scenes park the cars in front of projection domes rather than moving through built sets. Riders also report blurry glasses and dim screen lighting washing out the animation.
  • It ends sooner than the wait suggests
    The ride is short, and after a long afternoon in standby the payoff feels thin. This is the most common complaint from people who otherwise liked it.

Veteran tips

  • Spend a Multi Pass pick on this one
    Remy's sits in EPCOT's first Lightning Lane Multi Pass group, so it competes with Frozen Ever After and Test Track for a single selection. Book a morning return time and leave standby out of the afternoon.
  • The single rider line is worth splitting up for
    Disney lists Remy's under Single Rider Services, so a party willing to ride apart can fill the empty seats in the cars. Participation varies by day, so ask at the entrance.
  • ECV users transfer at the dock
    Disney classes this ride as Must Transfer to Wheelchair, so guests on scooters move to a standard wheelchair before boarding. There are designated transfer and load areas for it.
  • Captioning and audio description are available
    Disney's accessibility listing for this ride covers assistive listening, handheld captioning, and audio description. Arrange a device before you queue rather than at the load area.
  • The line thins during the fireworks
    Standby drops once the crowd moves to the lagoon for the nighttime show, and the last stretch before park close works the same way.
  • Take the glasses off if you get dizzy
    Riders prone to motion sickness report that dropping the 3D glasses, or looking at the built sets instead of the domes, settles things down. Closing your eyes through the spinning works too.
  • Come in through the International Gateway
    The France pavilion sits beside that entrance, so guests arriving from the Skyliner or the EPCOT resorts reach the ride at opening without crossing the park.
  • Ride it twice if the wait allows
    The cars travel in sets of three and each takes a different route through the restaurant, so a second trip does not repeat the first.
