Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will close briefly at Walt Disney World's EPCOT from November 10 to 13, 2025, as Disney begins converting the attraction from 3D to enhanced 2D digital visuals. When it reopens, guests will no longer need 3D glasses to experience the ride.

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure currently uses 3D projections and glasses

The update represents a significant shift for the France Pavilion ride, which has used 3D projection since opening in 2021. Disney says the new system will use sharper, high-resolution 2D imagery to create clearer, brighter scenes while maintaining the same storytelling and motion-based ride experience.

Disney is also taking the opportunity to add new props and lighting enhancements in both the queue and ride areas. These updates will be rolled out in phases over the coming months, giving the attraction a refreshed look that complements its visual overhaul.

A similar change is also underway at the original Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy attraction at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris, where Disney is transitioning the ride from 3D to 2D projection.

Star Tours without 3D? Inconceivable!

The ride always looked like you were parked in front of a screen. 3D or 2D doesn’t fix the immersion issues with the ride, which always lacked.

This ride was always a family favorite just because of the sites and sounds of the whole pavilion. It's just a fun ride.

This is how I always felt also, I never found the screen portions immersive at all, a black and white tile floor on the screen ending abruptly to a black concrete floor 20’ in front of the ride vehicle absolutely ruined any chance at immersion for me. Had they extended the projection onto the floor, or created a drop off where you couldn’t see the floor in front of the vehicle I think 3D may have helped, for me the 2D vs 3D argument is lipstick on a pig, neither had a chance at overcoming the massive problem of seeing the unthemed floor in front of the vehicle so neither had a chance at making the ride “immersive”. I love the physical sets but would rank this as one of my least favorite rides at Epcot, we rarely ever rode it.

I think I can actually see what is intended (of course you never really know), but it always looks like crap to me. I would much rather watch 2D. There is a reason 3D TVs never took off.

The lines for like the past decade are built so that wheelchairs can go through them. They are literally designing them for accessibility.

100% disagree that 3D is more immersive. You have to wear these glasses where it is hard to see because its dark and your peripheral vision is non-existent. With 2D your are in the experience without having to look through these tiny portals. Plus the 3D always looks bad anyways. Soarin' is was more immersive than Flight of Passage to me as on FOP I am just having to hold onto the glasses the whole time so they don't fall off. I am very happy with this change!

You’re a ferret. Known to mascaraed as a raccoon disguised as a panda, with a capybara mask.

Rode it in Paris in 2D and didn't feel I was being pulled out of the story. Guess that makes me a sucker.

Disney asks about these things in its surveys. Maybe it wasn’t people lodging complaints.

As if it wasn't always obvious you were just parked in front of a screen. Ratatouille's losing its immersion? Did they add that after the debut? It wasn't installed yet when I went on. That said, I'm starting to feel like a sucker. Here I am going on rides and if I feel sick afterwards or didn't like it or whatever, I just move on with my life and don't plan to go on again. Apparently I should've been lodging complaints this whole time. Maybe I could've gotten Star Tours turned into a stationary theater by now.

That's interesting about the toddlers. I know that the 5-year-old we took loved everything except Ratatouille. He couldn't really explain why but maybe it did have something to do with the 3D. He wasn't bothered by Star Tours or MMRR though so maybe there's something to the claims of discomfort on that particular ride.

It’s really offensive that Disney is pretending they are doing this for guest “accessibility” reasons when they have dropped any pretense of caring about accessibility in the design and construction of new lies. It’s a transparent lie that exploits guests with physical limitations to cover a blatantly cost-cutting move.

In conclusion it has now become yet another bland experience at a Disney Park, in the name of cheaping out on a proper refurbishment, hidden under the guise of making the experience less scary and intense for the small number of toddlers who got scared by 3D. But rest assured that those crisp bright images will be dull and out of focus in a matter of a year or two. All the dusters happy with this downgrade, give yourself a well earned round of applause!
