Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com spent 10 days at the Disneyland Paris resort. I will be sharing a series of posts from the trip here on AllEars.net and have a full set of pictures, videos, thoughts and observations linked to my 2015 Paris Trip Summary Page on disneygeek.com. This posting takes a look at the Ratatouille area of the Walt Disney Studios Park.

The Ratatouille: L’ Aventure Totalement Toquee de Remy opened at the Walt Disney Studios Park at the Disneyland Paris Resort in the summer of 2014. The area consists of the attraction, FastPass Distribution, a gift shop, and Bistrot Chez Remy restaurant. The attraction features trackless ride vehicles that take you on a nearly 5-minute journey as you are shrunk down to Remy’s size and experience a chase through a bistro with Remy utilizing 3D projections and larger than life sets & props. The ride system is similar to Tokyo’s Winnie the Pooh attraction and Hong Kong’s Mystic Manor.

Prior to going to Paris I had seen several videos of the attraction and done some reading on it. The pictures and video you see really do not do the attraction justice. The immersive feeling and movement of the vehicles are key components and just do not translate to the internet that well. I was impressed with the experience and it was by far the best attraction at the park and one of my favorites from the entire resort. Below are some pictures of the area. I will be sharing a follow-up post with a look at Chez Remy where I had lunch on day.

Approaching the Ratatouille area.

To the right as you approach is the gift shop.

Next to the gift shop is the FastPass distribution area.

FastPass machines

The entrance to the attraction. It features FastPass, Single Rider and Standby.

A good portion of the standby queue is outside.

A couple of the posters along the queue area.

As you enter the building the cast chefs are highlighted.

The interior queue takes you along the rooftops of Paris (well there is a set that you work your way around).

You work your way to one of two load areas each with several vehicles to board. Notice you are rat size at this point, see the wall in the background.

You board a trackless ratmobile for the adventure.

On your journey you go through a handful of projection rooms and a couple over-sized sets. My pictures did not do it any justice because of the 3D projections so I am only going to include this one of the finale.

You exit near Remy’s restaurant. I will have another post on dining there. Here is a look at the central courtyard.

The Fountain in the middle of the area.

Through this tunnel is Toy Story Playland.

A wide shot shows some of the Playland beyond.

Some props nearby. Notice the poles.

The manhole cover.

One last look at the area on a rainy afternoon.

Hope you enjoyed this look at the Ratatouille area of the Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris.
