Remy ’ s Ratatouille Adventure will open this year at EPCOT , which will be a fabulous addition to one of EPCOT ’ s most beloved World Showcase pavilions . This trackless ride gives you a look at life in Paris ( and in a restaurant kitchen ) from rat-height and promises to be an energetic adventure for the whole family .
There ’ s only a hint of Disneyland Resort Paris ( DLP ) to be found in the
France Pavilion ( look out for travel posters suggesting a trip to visit the parks in Europe !), but I can ’ t finish my reflection of the pavilion without noting that if you ’ re in Paris , you should make sure to have a day or two on your itinerary to visit . And on the other hand , if you ’ re visiting DLP , make sure you add time to your vacation to visit the City of Lights itself and the many other beautiful countryside regions of France .
So many amazing Disney and Pixar films are set in France or have Frenchstyle influences ( bonjour , Ratatouille , The Aristocats , Beauty and the Beast , The Hunchback of Notre Dame , Cinderella , and Sleeping Beauty !), so maybe that has made me biased in favor of both the country and the World Showcase pavilion . But in my opinion , adding a little touch of Parisian flair to your Walt Disney World holiday … c ’ est parfait !
