Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a new Notice of Commencement for work at Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT's France Pavilion.

The permit is filed with frequent WDI partner Icarus Exhibits listed as the contractor. The listed scope of work is the installation of set elements.

The timing lines up with Disney's own statement from November 2025, when the ride reopened following its 3D to 2D conversion. At the time, Disney confirmed that "Remy's fans will spot new props and lighting enhancements when they are added to the queue and attraction over the next few months." This permit appears to be the next step in delivering on that promise.

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure closed briefly in November 2025 for a planned overhaul of its projection system.

The update replaced the original 3D projection system with 2D digital visuals, removing the need for 3D glasses while delivering what Disney desribed as sharper, brighter imagery throughout the show scenes. New props and lighting enhancements were also part of the package, with Disney indicating at the time that additional set details would be added to the queue and attraction in the months following reopening.

A parallel update took place at the original version of the ride — Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy at Disneyland Paris — which received the same 2D projection system as part of the same refresh program.

The new permit suggests that installation work is now moving forward at EPCOT. No start date or completion timeline is indicated in the filing.

I never got to see it in 3D, in my case, is does not matter as I do not see 3D anyway. In any event, its good they are doing things to plus attractions.

I hate 3D glasses they give me a headache so I'm cool with this change but it's just a shame they didn't decide this when they built it so we could have possible more scenes and props.

That’s primarily what I spotted. There’s also the tasteful projection effect in the hallway scene. That’s a pretty frequent spot for getting temporarily delayed and the effect will give those guests something more to look at than a themed wall while they await clearance for the next scene.

So is it just props that mask the transition between screen and floor?

Paris has soft opened with the new props and effects. The new props seem to be focused on blending the screen edges with the environment. According to the official WDW announcement, these new props and lighting enhancements should be added to the WDW attraction soon. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will experience a short downtime Nov. 10-13, 2025 and will return with enhanced digital visuals and clearer imagery projected in 2D. Remy’s fans will spot new props and lighting enhancements when they are added to the queue and attraction over the next few months. Here’s the ones I spotted. New prop: oversized linguini noodles New prop: hard to tell, but looks like the edge of the push cart. New projection effect: moving shadow projection featuring a moving belt of various kitchen supplies and rats. New prop: finale scene, new oversized wood cutting board and napkin.

You are supposed to continue draining glasses of wine until you think there are enough attractions.

I can totally understand this and respect your opinion. I agree that the 3D “gags” aren’t really missed. For me it’s the depth that 3D added as well as the lack of peripheral vision that the glasses caused, both helping to make the screens blend better with the surroundings. Still a fun attraction either way and one that never should have to serve as an “E” when it’s at best a “D”. Just not enough attractions in WS to eat the crowds today.

I prefer the newer version as I wear glasses anyway and it was a faff covering them with the old 3D glasses. Personally I don't miss the handful of 3D effects and think it's just as good without but others are welcome to disagree.
