Hello, there!! We’re back with even MORE news from D23!! We’ve already chatted about the HUGE Epcot transformation including brand new Moana and Mary Poppins attractions, new neighborhoods, a new festival center, and more.
Ratatouille ride in Epcot’s France
But now we’re back to share that the opening season has been announced for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris, which are both coming to Epcot’s France Pavilion!
