Does Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Merchandise Mean the Ride Will Open Soon?
We’re eagerly awaiting the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and every little step gets us closer. From the opening of some new sections of the France Pavilion we can now add new merchandise on the teasers of what’s to come. These items are found in the gift shop just outside Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie.
We’ve got an unofficial office pool about when this attraction will finally open. Do you have any guesses? In the meantime, what do you think of the merchandise for this as-yet-unopened attraction?

Hey Andy!
I think right now Disney’s giving passholders all the extra, unused reservation spots normally allocated to hotel and day-ticket guests. My guess is that by opening the ride (say, in February) and implementing Early Theme Park Entry for it, Disney will try to drive demand to hotel guests. And hotel guests are more profitable than APs.
I could be wrong.
@Len: I assume the ride is READY to reopen, but that doesn’t mean that Disney is actually going to open it any time soon. I think it would make sense for them to wait until the end of covid is fully in sight, THEN open the big new attraction and run commercials to entice people to book a trip. If you open it now, what’s the direct benefit beyond redistributing annual passholders?
I think the ride in its “test and adjust” phase right now. The purpose of those tests is to ensure the ride can operate continuously and reliably.
No, it does not mean the ride is opening any time soon. It means that merch deliveries have started arriving, and Disney figures they might as well stock some shelves and see what sells.
I just hope it opens before my “Great Nephew and Neice” trip in May.
