Since its grand opening on October 1, 2021, as part of Walt Disney World’s 50th-anniversary celebration, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure has been a must-visit attraction in EPCOT’s France Pavilion.

This charming ride brings the world of Ratatouille (2007) to life, inviting guests to shrink down to the size of a rat and explore Gusteau’s bustling kitchen. But if recent rumors hold true, a major update might be on the horizon—a single-rider line that could redefine how guests experience this fan-favorite attraction.

What Makes Remy’s Adventure So Special?

This trackless, 4D attraction transports guests through whimsical scenes that perfectly capture the heart of the film. From avoiding falling kitchenware to navigating a chaotic chase with Chef Skinner, the ride’s innovative design and immersive effects have made it one of EPCOT’s most popular experiences. It’s family-friendly, with no height restrictions, ensuring that everyone—from kids to grandparents—can enjoy the fun.

Why a Single Rider Line Matters

Currently, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure often sees lengthy standby queues, making it a time commitment for park-goers. The addition of a single-rider line could be a game-changer, allowing individuals or small groups to fill empty seats on the ride quickly. This system has already proven successful on other Disney attractions, such as Test Track and Expedition Everest, and it would undoubtedly improve accessibility for Remy’s Adventure.

What This Means for Guests

The potential for a single-rider option would benefit both solo visitors and those looking to maximize their time in EPCOT. With a new tiered Genie+ system, balancing Lightning Lane reservations for top-tier attractions like Frozen Ever After, Soarin’, and Remy’s Adventure can be a challenge. A single-rider line would add flexibility, especially for guests wanting to experience more of EPCOT’s offerings.

While Disney has not confirmed these changes yet, eagle-eyed fans have spotted updates, such as numbered seats on the rat-shaped ride vehicles. These tweaks suggest Disney is laying the groundwork for this exciting enhancement.
