Disney has today confirmed that Remy's Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT will open in 2021.

The announcement was made by Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, as he took the virtual stage at the IAAPA Expo: Virtual Education Conference.

The ride in the France pavilion had been originally planned to open in 2020, but the COVID-19 closure and subsequent restrictions on theme park operations means that Disney will wait until it can properly market the attraction to drive guests back to Walt Disney World next year.

The exterior of the expansion is largely complete, and we understand from sources that ride system testing is already underway inside the show building.

Based on Disney and Pixar’s hit film, “Ratatouille,” the family-friendly attraction will invite you to shrink down to the scale of a rat for a culinary adventure with Chef Remy. During each adventure, you’ll race across Gusteau’s kitchen floor aboard special trackless ride vehicles in a thrilling 3D chase. The ride originally debuted at Disneyland Paris Resort.

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.
