At a glance
This dark ride shrinks you down to the size of a rat. Guests board vehicles that glide smoothly across the floor with no visible track. The scenery and characters from the movie come to life on giant screens, now without 3D glasses.
Remy is trying to get dinner ready, all while dodging the dreaded Chef Skinner, and that’s the story you ride through. Real oversized props (think huge milk cartons or massive hams) take turns with digital projections. Your vehicle darts beneath tables and weaves around the cooks’ legs, and you feel minuscule in the middle of a kitchen in full swing.
Your senses are part of the show, thanks to sensory effects that make the ride more immersive. Expect warm and cool moments, a rush of air whenever the vehicle speeds up, and food smells wafting through the kitchen along the way. The ride relies on what you see and on soft sensations, so almost everyone can enjoy it.
The most immersive trackless dark ride in the resort. Self-guided vehicles race through a giant kitchen at rat height, combining huge screens, physical sets, and heat and smell effects. The movements differ from one vehicle to the next. It’s one of the most popular rides, so go early or use Premier Access.
History
Ratatouille : L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy opened on July 10, 2014 and was designed by Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald. It’s the first ride in the world based on the Pixar animated movie Ratatouille (2007).
Epcot (Walt Disney World) got its own near-copy of the ride on October 1, 2021. In Paris, the ride kicked off a new section, La Place de Rémy, which became part of the land renamed Worlds of Pixar in August 2021. Glasses are no longer needed: since 2025, the film portions play in 2D.

Premier Access, Single Rider, PhotoPass
Skip the standby line whenever you like. Handy in peak season, when the wait often goes past 60 minutes.
A "single rider" line: you fill the empty seats, often much faster than the standby line.
No PhotoPass on this ride.
Usually open during this early slot before the park opens to the public, mainly for Disney hotel guests and Disneyland Pass Gold holders. A good time to ride it with a shorter wait.
Who it’s made for
Pros and cons
The highlights
- Very smooth trackless vehicle technology
- Sensory effects like smells and heat
- The whole ride is sheltered from the rain
The downsides
- The screens may make you feel slightly dizzy
- Wait times are often very high during the day
- Vehicles only hold 6 people
My verdict
Ratatouille : L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy is the most immersive trackless dark ride in the resort and the first ride in the world based on the movie, designed by Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald. Self-guided vehicles zip through a giant kitchen at rat height, combining huge screens, physical sets, and effects with heat, smells, and water. It lasts 4 min 40 sec, with no minimum height, and both Single Rider and Premier Access are available.
Hands down in my top 3 at Disney Adventure World, as much for the trackless technology as for all the sensory detail. My favorite thing to spot on the way out: look closely at the size of the floor tiles. You can clearly see the moment you return to human size. If you’re sensitive, be aware that the screens may make you a little dizzy. Wait times are high, so plan ahead with Single Rider or Premier Access.

Your questions about this ride
01 How can you avoid long lines for the most popular rides?
To skip long lines at Disneyland Paris, I mix several strategies. First, Single Rider is free and really speeds things up on the rides that offer it, including Crush’s Coaster, Flight Force, Ratatouille, and Spider-Man, as long as you don’t mind boarding apart from your group. Next, Disney Premier Access is a paid service that guarantees you priority entry on the headline rides. If you’re staying at a Disney hotel, Extra Magic Time lets you into the park before official opening, and that’s the best time to ride the popular attractions back to back without waiting. Last, heading to the busiest rides during a parade or a big show empties the lines dramatically.
02 Are the wait times posted in the park accurate?
Yes, the wait times shown in the app or on the park’s screens are generally accurate. They’re often equal to or slightly longer than the real wait, which helps you plan your day better.
03 How can I find out if a ride will be under refurbishment during my vacation?
Disneyland Paris posts the list of rides closed for refurbishment on its official website several weeks ahead of time. Since the parks are open year-round, maintenance crews sometimes work on days the park is open, which leads to temporary closures. My tip: check this calendar (or the one on my blog) before you book, especially if there’s one particular ride you really care about.
04 Which rides might scare young kids?
Several rides at Disneyland Paris can be a bit much for young kids, even with no height requirement. Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains, in Fantasyland, has dark scenes with the witch that can catch them off guard. Les Voyages de Pinocchio also has some unsettling moments. La Tanière du Dragon, beneath Sleeping Beauty Castle, is home to a very impressive animatronic dragon. Phantom Manor, in Frontierland, leans into its ghostly mood and stays pretty intense for little ones. Pirates of the Caribbean switches between cheerful scenes and darker ones. I recommend watching how your child reacts before you board.
05 How far ahead does Disneyland Paris announce ride closures?
Disneyland Paris shares its list of ride closures about 2 to 3 months ahead. For major rides, the park lets guests know about planned construction at least two months before it starts. I recommend checking the official calendar (or my dedicated page) a few weeks before your visit, since dates can change. That way you won’t get the nasty surprise of finding out on the spot that your favorite ride is closed for refurbishment.
