Remy's Ratatouille Adventure Now in 2D at EPCOT: Our Take After Riding the Updated Version

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure has reopened at EPCOT with its new 2D digital projection system now in place, replacing the original 3D screens used since the ride debuted in 2021. Guests no longer use 3D glasses, and the attraction now features what Disney says is "brighter, sharper imagery" across its scenes.

The update is intended to improve clarity and reduce discomfort for those sensitive to 3D effects. Disney also plans to roll out new props and lighting enhancements in the queue and ride areas over the coming months. A similar conversion is underway at the original Ratatouille attraction in Disneyland Paris.

Our Thoughts After Riding the Updated 2D Version

After riding the updated version today, the change to 2D noticeably alters the overall experience:

• The biggest shift is immersion. With 2D visuals, it becomes more obvious when you transition between physical sets and projected scenes. The original 3D version blended those elements much more convincingly.
  
  
• The sense of motion is reduced. The 3D film previously added depth and intensity that helped sell the movement of the rat cars.
  
  
• The new 2D projections are clear and bright, offering clean visuals throughout the ride.
  
  
• Guests who experienced motion sickness with the original 3D film may find this version easier to handle.
  
  
• Small children may also find some scenes less intimidating in 2D than in 3D.

Overall, though, the change feels like a downgrade to the core experience. The attraction was designed around 3D for a reason - it was the bridge that connected the physical sets to the film-based environments. A helpful comparison is Soarin' vs. Avatar Flight of Passage: both are screen-based attractions, but one surrounds you more completely and creates a stronger sense of being inside the story. Remy's Ratatouille Adventure has moved from the more immersive end of that spectrum toward the simpler one.

Your experience with the update will depend on what you value most. If you want a more immersive, blended environment, the original 3D version offered stronger depth and smoother transitions between sets and screens. If you struggled with motion sickness, disliked wearing 3D glasses, or found the old version too intense for younger riders, the new 2D presentation will likely feel more comfortable and approachable.
