Smell. The relatively new Ratatouille attraction in EPCOT gives guests a whiff of traditional French cuisine … the aroma of a warm baguette hits guests as they careen through the restaurant's kitchen.

Yes, Ratatouille: The Adventure (known as Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy at Disneyland Paris and EPCOT) is a multisensory 4D experience that famously features scent effects. As you scurry through Gusteau’s Parisian kitchen in a "ratmobile," the ride uses "aroma bursts" to immerse you in the story. The most iconic scent is the smell of fresh-baked bread and roasting food as you pass through the kitchen and pantry areas. These scents are synchronized with the 3D visuals and other physical effects, such as warm "oven" blasts of air and cool water spritzes (representing a popping champagne bottle or a wet floor). The use of smell is a key part of "Imagineering" in 2026, designed to trigger emotional responses and make the "shrinkage" to rat-size feel more realistic. Whether it's the citrusy aroma of a pantry or the savory scent of a steaming ratatouille dish at the end of the chase, the ride is designed to leave you "hungry for more," making it a favorite for families and foodies alike.
