During today's virtual annual meeting of shareholders of The Walt Disney Company, Disney CEO Bob Chapek announced the grand opening of Remy's Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT will be October 1, 2021.

This new family-friendly attraction will officially debut as part of the kickoff for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” honoring Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary.

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure invites guests into the flavorful world of Disney and Pixar’s “Ratatouille,” where they will feel as if they shrink to the size of Chef Remy and scurry through Gusteau’s famous restaurant. Guests will find Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in a newly expanded area of the park’s France pavilion.

Also debuting October 1 in this section of the pavilion will be La Crêperie de Paris, offering both table and quick-service options. The menu will feature sweet crepes, savory buckwheat galettes (naturally gluten friendly) and authentic French hard cider.

Although the ride is already complete, it appears the company has opted to wait for the parks to return to a more normal operating status before opening the expansion. It should also be noted that the while the official opening date is October 1, this does not rule out previews and soft openings prior to that date should conditions allow.

The ride was originally planned to open in 2020, but will now instead be Walt Disney World's only major new addition for the 50th celebrations. The company had originally expected to have a full line-up of new attractions for the 50th, including TRON at the Magic Kingdom, Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and Harmonious at EPCOT.

They cut this? Was the best part of the ride that was mostly “meh” for me from there. I guess now the whole experience is consistent 😄

He means the sign. The sign is permanent. 👍🏻 They may throw a canvas bag over it from time-to-time (maybe, eventually, all the time) but it'll always be there!

Permanent. Got it.

Definitely originally planned, but they likely did the math and guests who couldn’t fit within the seats likely caused bigger capacity loss than the capacity gains from single rider. Stickers allow for best of both worlds and the return of single rider.

There has always been the one unused entry post that's now used for the single rider. I think it was planned from the beginning?

maybe I'll actually be able to ride Remy's when I go to Epcot now. Every time I'm over in France its always hovering around an hour.

It's a pretty efficient single rider at DLP, which is why many experienced with the original version are surprised Epcot's never had one until now

Just rode Remys using single rider and only waited 5 minutes. There was quite a few people in line, but it moves really quick.

Had one of the rudest interactions ever with a Cast Member asking about Single Rider about a year ago. Asked how often they ran Single Rider (wasn’t aware they didn’t bring it over from Paris) and in the most condescending way the CM assured me they’ve never had single rider and never will. Was taken aback by it because I asked in a curious up-beat tone. Well, dude, now there’s a Single Rider.

Looks like the single rider line is a permanent thing now. Not a test. Which is a good for Epcot overall as a park. Now add one to Soarin! A Cast Member said the singer rider line is permanent, not a test. However, single rider queues are not always open all day, every day or during special events.
