EPCOT'S Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will open with a virtual queue and no standby line

By WDWMAGIC Staff · Wednesday August 18, 2021 5:48pm ET · "Remy's Ratatouille Adventure"

EPCOT'S new Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will open on October 1 with a virtual queue and no traditional standby line.

Guests will be able to access the virtual queue system via the My Disney Experience app and check for an available boarding group starting at 7am on the day of their park reservation. As with Star Wars Rise of the Resistance, you will need to have park admission linked to your Disney account and have a Disney Park Pass reservation. If you are unable to join the morning virtual queue opportunity, you may check for an available boarding group starting at 1pm after you have entered the park.

Later in the year, when Disney Genie becomes available, guests will have the opportunity to purchase admission via the Lightning Lane entrance even if the virtual queue is full. Pricing has not been announced, but individual attraction pricing is expected to be between $4 and $24 per person, per ride.

Two carts (France and Italy) removed from the promenade this summer, were on a roll! The next main culprit is China, three kiosks in a row in their pavilion is too many. It would be nice too if France would get rid of the slushy kiosk but I don’t seem them going for that.

I have a feeling something may be coming back to Italy though.

I noticed that the other day, I thought they were just repairing the pavement, but it looks like something a little more.

Alcohol sales > Inconveniencing guests with a cluttered walkway.
Can't see them removing the crepe cart and leaving behind 6 weeks of sales. Could this mean access to expansion in France is coming sooner than October 1st?

This afternoon I got an email confirmation for myself in the same date and time slot as my family. Not sure if it's a result from the chat submission, or the email, but either way, relieved that they were able to get me in with them.
Remy will be opening with a Virtual Queue -
no standby line at all? = bad. rise is impossible. really don't want to see that happen here too just doesn't seem necessary.
Not a ride that needs VQ, but whatever.
I'd imagine the demand will be much lower for this than Rise. A lot more people are able to preview it, which will cut down on opening day curiosity, compared to Rise, but also, it's been available in Paris for some time. That's not to say people won't go crazy over boarding groups, but I could see it making towards a regular queue rather quickly, compared to Rise.

We'll see though since the LL being an option - and I believe Epcot also has a higher overall capacity than DHS, which could possibly increase demand for the VQ. Still, I think the popularity will wane at some point, probably early next year, and TT will be back to having the longest wait again until GotG opens.

The fact that they are even going down this road is discouraging. Every single new ride will be a lottery system. And with the park reservation system, if you want to ride you may be forced to pay extra, and you get to lose sleep and be stressed while doing so. No other major park operates this way.

Yes, lower demand and higher capacity. It shouldn't be such a problem as Rise. We'll see.
What happens on the extended nights for deluxe hotels… will reny be open for that… I have dinner reservations in France with my wife and parents at 8:00pm in October…Epcot has extended hours that night… I thought we would try to ride after checking out Harmonius.
Oh look, another ride that can be paid for with Genie to ride it :(
This and the 50th are the entire reason I’m going to Disney for a couple days (possibly still in the thick of covid no less) and now I might not even be able to get on the ride. Awesome.
