Ratatouille Ride is Coming to Disneyland Paris

Ratatouille Ride is Coming to Disneyland Paris

At the Euro Disney‘s annual shareholder meeting Ratatouille was the main topic of conversation. I have a feeling excitement was obvious when Chairman Philippe Gas announced future plans for the park which included a new attraction based on the Oscar winning Pixar/Disney movie “Ratatouille.

The exciting, new attraction will open at the Walt Disney Studios Park in 2014. In usual Disney fashion very few details have been released. The new attraction is sure to highlight Disney at his best! We will look for a combination with wonderful storytelling and state-of-the-art technology with Ratatouille’s favorite rat Remy.

“Our new family-focused Ratatouille attraction, which is scheduled to open in 2014, symbolises all of the creativity, innovation and emotion that guests associate with a Disneyland Paris experience,” said Gas. “By developing this new Ratatouille attraction, we continue to ensure our guests can experience their favorite Disney stories in memorable ways that only Disney can provide. The theme, which is very français, is a tribute to our capital and the unforgettable characters that make Ratatouille the ideal choice for an attraction that fits perfectly at Disneyland Paris.”

Other announcements included the extension of the Disneyland Paris 20th Anniversary celebrations thru September 2013, of their popular nighttime spectacular called “Disney Dreams!”. The extension will bring you new scenes from “Brave” and “The Lion King” as well as bringing the “Glow with the Show” interactive Mickey ear hats from the “World of Color Show in Disneyland California to Paris.  In Paris they will be called “Disney Light’Ears“.
