Disney World Testing Single Rider Line for Remy's Ratatouille Adventure…And We LOVE It

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is a fun-filled 4D ride in EPCOT.

The ride is in the France pavilion. As you enter the queue, you get “shrunk” down to rat size. You eventually board the ride on cars shaped like rats like Remy and his family and begin your adventure through Gusto’s restaurant. When we say an adventure, we really mean it! You go for a wild ride dodging carts, mean chefs, and very hot ovens. The ride is a wonderful work of imagineering that involves almost all of your senses. Now, three years after it opened in EPCOT, we’ve noticed a couple of changes!

When Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opened in EPCOT, it had signs and a separate line area for single riders. However, the line has been used VERY sparingly, if at all, in the three years since the ride opened.

When the ride was first opened, it used a Virtual Queue, but that has since gone away, and it now has a standby line and Lightning Lane line only. The standby line is known to get very long throughout the day, so a single-rider line here could be really useful for guests hoping to ride it but don’t want to wait in the regular line. (Single rider lines are never guaranteed to be shorter than the regular standby line, but may often be.)

When the ride first opened in 2021, the left-hand side queue was set up for single riders, but it was eventually changed to the Lightning Lane.

But now, it appears Disney is officially testing the single-rider line at this ride! You can now enter the Single Rider queue on the left side, the Lightning Lane in the middle, and the Standby line on the right.

When we went through the single-rider line, we only waited about five minutes before we were boarded onto the ride! The standby line was posted at 55 minutes when we hopped in the single-rider queue.

It was practically a walk-on wait!

We talked to a Cast Member who said the single-rider testing is going really well, and they expect it to last. But that isn’t a certainty yet.

Some guests were surprised to see a random, single rider with them in the vehicle, but the other new change helped alleviate that concern! We also spotted new numbers added to the ride vehicles. You are now instructed to line up for a specifically numbered seat when you board the vehicle. This helped riders to clearly see that there are three people per row in the vehicles. So if they have a party of two or four, they can see there are empty spaces available for single riders.

Each spot in the vehicle is clearly marked, and this will likely help with any confusion when someone not in your party joins your ride vehicle.

Three riders per row

While the single rider line is currently just being tested and may only be temporary, we’ll be keeping an eye out for it to be made permanent. Both of these changes may make this ride easier and smoother to experience.
