EPCOT has gone through massive changes over the past several years, but one of the park’s most popular additions continues to be Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure inside the France Pavilion.The family-friendly attraction brought another major ride to World Showcase when it officially opened in 2021, and ever since then, it has remained one of the busiest experiences in the entire park.Credit: Sarah Larson, Inside the MagicNow, Disney appears ready to make more changes to the attraction again.According to newly filed Walt Disney Imagineering paperwork, Disney is preparing to install additional set elements at the ride, something fans have actually been waiting on for months.The update may sound small at first, but for frequent EPCOT guests, it is another sign that Disney is still actively trying to improve the overall experience after the attraction’s huge overhaul in late 2025.Disney Continues Adjusting Remy’s Ratatouille AdventureWhen Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure first opened at EPCOT, it used 3D projection effects similar to the original version at Disneyland Paris. Guests wore 3D glasses throughout the ride while massive screens and physical sets attempted to make riders feel as though they had shrunk down to the size of a rat.For some guests, it worked incredibly well.For others, not so much.One of the biggest complaints surrounding the attraction over the years involved motion sickness and visual discomfort. Many guests reported headaches, dizziness, or eye strain after riding, especially because the attraction relies heavily on screen-based effects and fast-moving ride vehicles.Disney eventually responded.Last November, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure temporarily closed while Imagineering completed a major projection overhaul. During that refurbishment, Disney removed the 3D effects entirely and converted the attraction into a 2D experience with enhanced digital visuals and brighter imagery throughout the ride.The goal was simple: make the attraction easier to experience while also improving visual clarity.And honestly, most guests seem pretty happy with the result.The New Permit Could Change the Ride Even MoreNow Disney appears to be moving into the next phase of that project.According to the newly filed Notice of Commencement, Walt Disney Imagineering has hired Icarus Exhibits to install new “set elements” inside the attraction.That detail matters because Disney already hinted months ago that additional props and lighting upgrades were still coming after the 2D conversion reopened. At the time, Disney specifically stated that fans would begin spotting new props and lighting enhancements in both the queue and attraction over the following months.Credit: PixarThis new permit strongly suggests that work is finally about to begin.While Disney has not revealed exactly what the new additions will include, many fans believe the company is attempting to better blend the physical environments with the massive projection screens throughout the attraction.That has become one of the biggest talking points surrounding the 2D version of the ride.Without the 3D glasses, guests can now more clearly see where physical sets end and projection screens begin. Some Disney fans actually prefer this because they can appreciate the detailed environments more easily. Others feel some of the immersion disappeared once the glasses were removed.Disney’s apparent solution seems to involve adding more practical props, layered scenery, lighting effects, and environmental details to help smooth those transitions.EPCOT Guests Already Noticed Early ChangesInterestingly, some Disney fans have already noticed smaller updates appearing inside the attraction over the past several months.Online discussions from guests riding the updated version mention oversized kitchen props, enhanced hallway effects, lighting improvements, and additional environmental pieces that help disguise screen edges throughout the ride.One frequently mentioned example involves oversized linguini noodles and kitchen cart props that help blend physical scenery with projected backgrounds.Credit: DisneyAnother enhancement reportedly includes moving shadow effects that create the illusion of activity happening beyond the ride sets.These may seem like tiny additions individually, but collectively they help the attraction feel more alive.And for a ride that depends so heavily on visual immersion, those details matter a lot.Disney Clearly Views Remy as a Major EPCOT AttractionThe continued investment in Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure also says a lot about Disney’s priorities at EPCOT right now.Even though the ride has only existed at Walt Disney World for a relatively short time, it quickly became one of the park’s most important attractions. On busy days, the queue regularly stretches deep into the France Pavilion, and Lightning Lane availability can disappear quickly.That is especially important for World Showcase.Historically, EPCOT’s back half relied more on food, entertainment, and slower-moving experiences rather than headline attractions. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure helped change that by giving guests another major ride deeper inside the park.It also gave families with younger children another ride option at EPCOT, something the park historically lacked compared to Magic Kingdom.Disney clearly understands how important that attraction has become.Rather than simply leaving the ride alone after the 2D conversion, Imagineering appears committed to continuing upgrades that improve guest satisfaction and overall ride quality.The Bigger EPCOT StrategyThis also fits into Disney’s broader strategy for EPCOT over the past few years.The park has spent much of the decade transforming from a festival-heavy destination into a more balanced park with stronger attraction offerings. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind completely changed the front half of EPCOT, while ongoing additions around World Celebration and World Showcase continue reshaping the guest experience.Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure plays a huge role in that evolution.The France Pavilion itself has become significantly more crowded since the ride opened, and Disney has leaned heavily into expanding the area’s appeal through dining, entertainment, and shopping.Credit: DisneyAdding more props and environmental details to the attraction may not sound as flashy as a brand-new ride announcement, but these smaller enhancements are often what separate good Disney attractions from great ones.Disney fans notice those details.They notice when transitions feel smoother. They notice when scenes feel more immersive. And they definitely notice when attractions feel more polished than they did before.Disney Has Not Announced a Timeline YetRight now, Disney has not announced when guests will actually begin seeing the new additions inside Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.The permit itself reportedly does not include a specific completion date, although the filing extends into 2027.That means the work could happen gradually over time rather than through one major refurbishment closure.And honestly, that may be the best-case scenario for guests.Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure remains one of EPCOT’s highest-demand rides, especially during weekends, festivals, and holiday seasons. A lengthy closure would likely create even more pressure on EPCOT’s attraction lineup.Instead, Disney may simply add pieces in phases while keeping the ride operational.Either way, the permit makes one thing very clear: Disney is not finished with Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure yet.The post Disney Begins Next Phase of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Overhaul at EPCOT appeared first on Inside the Magic.
