Is Remy still a virtual queue?

Now, guests may experience this incredible attraction using a standby queue instead of a virtual queue beginning Jan. 10, 2022. With this change, we will end the use of virtual queue for now for Remy's Ratatouille Adventure.



No, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT does not use a virtual queue in 2026. The virtual queue system was retired for this attraction in early 2022 and has not returned. Instead, guests have two options: use the standard standby line or purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass to bypass the wait. In 2026, the only attractions at Walt Disney World that typically utilize a virtual queue are the newest ones or those with limited capacity, such as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure or TRON Lightcycle / Run. For Remy, the best strategy in 2026 is to "rope drop" the ride by entering through the International Gateway (near the Skyliner) at park opening, or to wait until the final hour of park operation when the French Pavilion crowds begin to thin out.

Screens – Screens on attractions are far more common now than they've ever been. Even benign looking attractions (like Remy's Ratatouille Adventure) can cause motion sickness for people. Oftentimes with screens, your ride vehicle is moving while a scene is playing on a stationary screen.

Overall it's a very enjoyable ride with some clever effects. If you're visiting Epcot with a toddler, this is likely to be one of your must-do rides. It might be too scary for some kids—ours went through a phase where basically any indoor dark ride scared them, and Remy's is more intense than other dark rides.
