Construction walls down at Remy's Ratatouille Adventure entrance - January 12 2021
Posted: Wednesday January 13, 2021 9:54am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Earlier this week the construction walls came down at the entrance to the Ratatouille expansion at the France pavilion in EPCOT.

The wooden walls have been replaced with rows of movable bushes on wheels, which are typically used by Disney during soft opens and previews when they need to quickly open and close an area. The removal of the walls gives guests a peak at the entrance area through the bushes.

Disney is yet to offer an opening date for Ratatouille at EPCOT, but has committed to open the expansion to the France pavilion in 2021.

Why is Disney always responding right after Universal and not vice versa. Mmm

It was. Felt not as immersive and even more like you are just watching a movie during the big screen sections.

It’s usually due to projector or glass cleaning maintenance

Not alleged, they're running it as a test until March 9. It's a cost-cutting measure.

I know they've done this before in Paris due to technical issues, so I'm not sure I'd read too much into it.

saving expense from replacing and or cleaning the glasses all the time? wouldn't surprise me, cost cutting moves.

Universal allegedly downgraded King Kong from 3D to 2D as well. What's the trend here?

This seems a bad move to me.

Was at Disneyland Paris today and they are testing the ride in 2D. Anyone know if this change may also be coming to Epcot?

I would love if this starts a new tradition of birthday buttons

That is very cool. With all the October 1st openings, it would be cool to see more of this. Like SSE and LwtL 41st, WDWRR and the other MK originals 52. Things like that. It's a great little touch.

I was walking from Pandora to Everest today when I saw this (near park close, like around 6:30pm). Cool of the custodian CMs cleaning up there to do this on WDW's birthday (which shares it with Remy's!)..

To awaken this thread from its long slumber, Cast Members were wearing this neat little button for the ride’s second birthday! Props to the person behind these!

Those dividers definitely weren't there this past Friday when we road it.
