January 10, 2022 is a big day at the Walt Disney World Resort! There are several changes and announcements happening, and most notable is that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT is now available by Standby, no more Virtual Queue required to ride. This is a great change that will allow some added flexibility in your park day over at EPCOT.
With this change, we will end the use of virtual queue for now for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. You also have the opportunity to purchase access to a Lightning Lane queue at this attraction, this is NOT included in Genie+ so anyone can buy the Individual Lane pass if you’d like to “skip the lane” and save time while visiting EPCOT. After your ride through Paris on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, I highly recommend grabbing a crepe from La Crêperie de Paris walk-up window. The Hazelnut and Chocolate Spread Crepe is DELICIOUS!
Beyond the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure news, there are three other big changes starting at Walt Disney World today, January 10, 2022! These include:
Splash Mountain is closing for a month-long refurbishment, the attraction is scheduled to reopen on February 10, 2022. It’s important to note that while there has been an announcement this ride will get a larger update and re-theme, this is annual maintenance they are closing for. When the ride re-opens on Feb 10, 2022, it will remain the same theme as always.
New 50th Anniversary Treats - that’s right! The celebration continues with NEW snacks throughout Walt Disney World! Stop by the Main Street USA Bakery and try the brand-new Mickey-shaped Cinnamon Roll, yum! If you’re craving something savory, Pinocchio Village Haus now is serving up a Croque Monsieur Flatbread, there are six other new treats around Walt Disney World that are available starting Jan 10, 2022
