Walt Disney Imagineering filed a new set-elements permit for Remy's Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT, giving the France pavilion ride another construction clue after last year's move away from 3D.
WDW News Today reported the May 27 permit, citing Orange County records. Icarus Exhibits Inc. is assigned to install set elements, and the filing expires in April 2027.
The filing does not identify the props. It does line up with the phased refresh Disney started in November 2025, when the attraction dropped 3D glasses and switched to 2D visuals with clearer projection.
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure Work
The permit points to scenic work, not a new ride system or a newly announced closure. CrowdLevels showed Remy's Ratatouille Adventure operating at 9:00 a.m. CDT on May 27, with a 40-minute posted wait in the live EPCOT feed.
The ride opened at Walt Disney World in 2021 as the anchor of EPCOT's France pavilion expansion. Guests board trackless rat-shaped vehicles for a kitchen chase through oversized sets and screen-based scenes inspired by Pixar's Ratatouille.
This is the kind of small permit that matters because Remy's has already been through the big technical change. The open question now is what physical detail Disney adds around the screens and queue.
What the Permit Changes for Guests
For now, not much. The ride remains open, and Disney has not announced a public timetable for the new set elements.
The useful takeaway is narrower: a named scenic contractor is now tied to the next physical phase of the Remy's refresh.
