Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary | Pixar in the Parks | Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure | Epcot | France | World Showcase
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure recently opened at Walt Disney World’s Epcot, part of the France Pavilion Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure invites guests into the flavorful world of Disney and Pixar’s Academy Award®-winning film “Ratatouille.” The family-friendly attraction, allows guests to feel as if they shrink to the size of Chef Remy and scurry through Gusteau’s famous restaurant. They discover Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in World Showcase as part of a newly expanded France pavilion, where the real is made fantastic in a reimagining of Paris inspired by the film.
What goes into making an attraction like Remy’s? I had an opportunity to ask the creative team at Pixar, and did you know, Pixar has a theme parks department? I spoke to Pixar’s Krista Sheffler and Jerome Ranft about the Pixar connection in the parks.
