Accessibility Overview

SEN Suitability

Ratatouille: The Adventure “shrinks” guests to the size of Remy and sends them racing through Gusteau’s kitchen, dining room, and walls, with 3D visuals, scents, sound effects, and motion simulation.

  • Noise Level: Moderate to high — includes kitchen clattering, dialogue, and occasional loud moments
  • Visual Effects: 3D projection scenes with lighting changes
  • Movement: Smooth gliding with sudden turns, spins, and tilts
  • SEN Tips: The combination of scents, motion, and 3D visuals may be overstimulating for some guests; ear defenders or tinted lenses may help

Mobility Suitability

  • Wheelchair Use: Fully accessible — a dedicated wheelchair-accessible vehicle is available
  • Boarding:
    • Vehicle features a built-in ramp for direct wheelchair entry
    • Tie-down hooks secure the wheelchair in place
    • One companion seat is provided beside the wheelchair space; additional party members board in standard vehicles
  • Storage: No need to store mobility aids, wheelchairs remain with the guest in the vehicle

Priority & Easy Access Card Information

Guests with a Priority Card or Easy Access Card share the same route as the Premier Access line.

How to Access It:

  • Enter through the Premier Access lane entrance in the Paris street area
  • Present your accessibility card to the Cast Member
  • You’ll be guided to the accessible loading bay for the wheelchair vehicle

Queue Conditions:

  • Entirely indoors with themed Parisian street scenery
  • Smooth flooring, but it can become crowded and has low lighting
  • No seating along the queue route

Ride Experience

Wearing 3D glasses, guests join Remy’s adventure from the rooftops of Paris to the chaos of Gusteau’s kitchen. The trackless ride vehicle glides, spins, and tilts to match the on-screen action, with extra immersion through heat blasts, cool breezes, scents, and water sprays.

Practical Tips

  • Best Time to Ride: Early morning or just before park close for shorter waits
  • Closest Accessible Toilets: Near Bistrot Chez Rémy, just outside the ride exit
  • Quiet Rest Areas: Benches outside the Paris street facades or near the Ratatouille fountain
  • Bag & Medical Equipment Storage: Small items can be brought onboard; larger bags can be left with a non-riding party member

Fun Facts

  • Opened in 2014 as the first Ratatouille-themed ride in any Disney park
  • Uses a trackless LPS (Local Positioning System) ride technology
  • Each vehicle moves independently, meaning no two rides are exactly the same
