Chef Remy is cooking up something special at Epcot®, and we have a first look inside to share with you today! 

Walt Disney Imagineering is hard at work developing a new attraction for the park’s France pavilion, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, planned to open in summer 2020. Based on Disney and Pixar’s hit film, “Ratatouille,” this family-friendly attraction will invite you to shrink down to the scale of a rat for a culinary adventure with Chef Remy.

Guests will race across Gusteau’s kitchen floor aboard special trackless ride vehicles, which you can see in the image at the top of this post – just released today – as Disney Imagineers work on bringing this attraction to life. 

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is one of several new experiences coming to Epcot as part of the park’s historic transformation already underway. Stay tuned for more updates!

There’s a reason everyone’s talking about adding Disney+ to their growing list of streaming services, and we can’t blame them. The new app has nearly every classic and modern Disney movie ever made, and for a pretty reasonable price. (Find out how much Disney+ is here.) There are so many films for every occasion, but we’re particularly impressed with the number of holiday offerings that are available as soon as you sign up for Disney+.

In a bid to get skeptics to subscribe to its new streaming service, Disney has produced a bunch of original content for its most popular franchises, and now, it’s holding them to ransom on Disney+. Among these projects is The Mandalorian, the latest entry in Disney’s relentless stream of Star Wars media, and it’s arrived as something of a miracle.

Disney has released some B: Roll footage from inside the upcoming new attraction Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance coming to Galaxy’s Edge. Take a look!

Disney is always looking for new and innovative ways to enhance their storytelling at the Disneyland Resort, and we have exciting changes coming to Snow White’s Scary Adventures in Disneyland park next year.

This classic Fantasyland attraction, Disneyland park’s only ride-through princess attraction, will be updated with new magic inside and out in 2020. Walt Disney Imagineering is reimagining how the classic tale of Snow White lives happily ever after, and guests will be invited to follow along with her story.

In addition to experiencing familiar elements of the attraction you know and love, you’ll discover enhanced story details and all-new scenes. For example, a new vignette will show Snow White in a beautiful forest setting waking up from her deep sleep. Also, the attraction will conclude when Snow White is reunited with her animal friends and a shimmering castle is seen in the distance.

Imagineers are implementing state-of-the-art audio and visual technology throughout the attraction, including new music, LED black lighting, laser projections and a new animation system. The exterior of the attraction will be completely refreshed with new, fairy tale-inspired details to complement the nearby charming Sleeping Beauty Castle.

This isn’t the first time the attraction has undergone a significant refurbishment. In 1983, as a whole new version of Fantasyland was unveiled, Snow White’s Adventures reopened with new technology and a brand-new facade, along with the new name. In 2020, this opening day attraction will celebrate 65 years at Disneyland!

Join “Inside Disney Parks” on December 3, as we live stream one of the most time-honored holiday traditions at Epcot, “The Candlelight Processional.”

This annual show is a holiday tradition for many guests during their visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. The show combines a reading of traditional scripture by a celebrity narrator, accompanied by the sounds of a massed choir and live orchestra. 

We’re happy to share that the celebrity narrator appearing in our stream on December 3 will be none other than Neil Patrick Harris.

The live stream will start at 8:10 p.m. EDT. To watch, simply visit the Disney Parks Blog on December 3. The live stream will be the lead story!
