Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a huge success at Epcot and one of the most popular rides in the theme park of the future at Walt Disney World.
Did you know, however, that it all started in 2014 with a 3D ride featuring Rémy at Walt Disney Studios Park? I mean, it only made sense to have our second favorite mouse starring in an attraction in France. Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy was such a big success at Disneyland Paris that Disney decided to bring the ride to the U.S., expand the Epcot France Pavilion, and add Remy’s Adventure there.
Both rides are basically the same, using a trackless ride system and 3D glasses to “shrink” us to the size of a mouse and put us inside a restaurant, where we chase Remy and escape from danger across multiple set pieces. All in all, this is a pretty average dark ride, even if kids love it. There is, however, something to look forward to: a major update scheduled for Spring 2026 that will bring plenty of changes to the experience.
What we like about Ratatouille : L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy
The name is pretty nice, right? I don’t know French very much, but I love the way it sounds!
Okay, the ride is also very charming. Vehicles are made to look like tiny mouses, and the setpieces can be very cute. You’re basically experiencing some moments from the movie in first person view, and kids usually love it. For small children, this ride is a must, especially since there isn’t a height requirement. Don’t expect open environments like in Mickey & Minnie Runaway Railway, since you are basically following a line and jumping from screen to screen, but the screens at least are very big and imposing, and the chase sequences through the restaurant can be fun.
Children love the idea of being shrunk to the size of a rat and seeing everything around them look gigantic, so that’s another fun concept behind the ride. In fact, we expect it to get even better in 2026!
Disney has announced plans to completely update this attraction, removing the 3D glasses and adding plenty of props and new scenes to remind us that we’re as small as Rémy. I personally think this is a huge win for the ride. Right now, there’s too much focus on screens, and the 3D effects aren’t even that great. Bigger props and new animatronics will definitely help with immersion, and Disney also promised new screens and projectors that will deliver much better visuals. Another huge win! I’ll take good image quality any day over the gimmick of 3D.
What we don’t like about Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy
Well, the name sounds awesome, but pronouncing it can be hard, so I usually just call it “Ratatouille”, “Remy’s Adventure” or “The Rat Ride”.
Even if children love it, I think this is a very basic dark ride, and not as good as other trackless ones like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. The set pieces are simple, the environments are a bit bland, and for now, the 3D screens are the main stars of the show. The image quality is also just so-so, but that’s a problem that affects hundreds of 3D rides. I do wish this attraction used more physical props, and I actually mentioned this in my previous Remy’s Adventure review, so I’m really glad it’s getting a major update soon.
Queue times are also above average, but thankfully they don’t get as high as the version at EPCOT. While the one in Florida can have wait times of one to two hours, the average queue here is around 40-45 minutes, which is pretty manageable. Just make sure to arrive early or visit right before the park closes.
Conclusion
This is the kind of ride you have to experience if you have children. It’s charming and cute, even if it doesn’t feature anything mind-blowing. The 2026 update looks very promising, and I’m excited to visit again in the future to see what’s changed, and how it looks without 3D, but with more props and scenes.
