Attention Disney fans and theme park foodies alike: today is your final opportunity to experience Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in glorious 3D at EPCOT. Starting tomorrow, the attraction will close briefly for a refurbishment and reopen later this week in 2D—without the signature glasses that have made the ride a miniaturized culinary thrill since its debut in 2021.
This news has sparked a flurry of excitement—and a touch of nostalgia—for those who have long admired the France Pavilion’s most ambitious ride. Whether you’ve been captivated by Remy’s daring kitchen escapades or you’ve spent hours in the queue enjoying the Parisian streetscape, today is the last day to see it in its original 3D form.
Why the Change?
Disney’s official word is that the update will modernize the ride’s visual technology, streamline the guest experience, and make the attraction more accessible. From November 10–13, 2025, Remy’s will be closed to receive:
-
Enhanced digital projections in 2D
-
Updated props and lighting along the ride path
-
Queue improvements for better guest flow and thematic immersion
The transition to 2D means that riders will no longer need to wear the 3D glasses, which often required adjustments or replacements for different head sizes. According to Disney, the change will allow the visuals to appear sharper and clearer, with more detail popping out on every turn of the miniature kitchen.
What Fans Are Saying
Social media and Disney forums are buzzing with opinions. Some fans are saddened by the change, citing the 3D element as a key part of the ride’s magic: shrinking down to rat size and seeing the world pop off the screens made it feel like a true miniature adventure. Others, however, see this as an opportunity to enjoy the ride in a refreshed form, with sharper visuals and a smoother ride experience.
The timing also creates a perfect “last chance” experience for park-goers who have been waiting to see Remy’s antics in full 3D glory. For those planning a visit today, lines are expected to be longer than usual as guests make a final pilgrimage to enjoy the ride in its original format.
A Global Update
EPCOT is not the only Disney park updating the beloved Ratatouille ride. Disneyland Paris is also undergoing a similar refurbishment, including new props, enhanced projection effects, and a slightly reimagined queue. Disney appears committed to standardizing the experience across parks, while improving the visual fidelity and immersion.
Fans of the ride will notice subtle changes designed to highlight details in the queue and attraction itself, such as new lighting effects and carefully placed props. Disney assures that the core experience—the thrill of racing through Gusteau’s kitchen—remains intact, just with a modernized look.
The Experience
For those who haven’t yet visited, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is part of EPCOT’s France Pavilion expansion, which opened in 2021. Guests shrink down to the size of Remy and join the plucky chef on a culinary chase through Gusteau’s restaurant. The ride combines motion-based vehicles with 4D sensory effects like heat, scent, and water sprays—making it a multi-sensory journey that appeals to all ages.
The switch to 2D will preserve these elements but remove the glasses. Disney claims this will make the visuals crisper and easier to enjoy, while maintaining the whimsical charm that has drawn crowds since opening.
Tips for Today
For readers planning to make the most of this final 3D day, here are some tips:
-
Arrive early: Lines are likely to be longer than usual as fans try to ride before the switch.
-
Capture the memories: Today is the perfect day for photos and video, especially for those who want to compare the 3D version to the upcoming 2D update.
-
Enjoy the queue: Disney’s attention to detail means that even waiting in line is a treat, with Parisian streets, kitchen props, and ambient storytelling bringing guests into Remy’s world.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will reopen on Friday, November 15, 2025, in 2D with the new enhancements. While some guests may miss the 3D glasses, Disney promises that the ride will continue to deliver a charming, immersive experience for all ages.
For theme park enthusiasts, today represents a chance to relive the ride as it was originally intended. For Disney food and entertainment fans, it’s an opportunity to celebrate the attention to detail and creativity that have made Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure a standout in EPCOT’s lineup.
