Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure AP Preview Dates & How to Register

Walt Disney World has opened booking for Annual Passholder previews of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in Epcot’s World Showcase France pavilion. We have the details and how to register.

Reservations can be made by any Walt Disney World Annual Passholders. You don’t need the “Squeak Peek” invitation email–all you need is the link, and fortunately, we have that!

You will not need to make a separate Disney Park Pass reservation to enter Epcot on the day of your preview, but applicable Walt Disney World AP blockout dates do apply. (Fortunately, there are a ton of eligible dates, so that should be easy to work around.)

Here are Walt Disney World’s other terms and conditions for the preview: “Limit one preview registration per Passholder. Capacity and space are limited, and subject to availability. Registrations are valid only during specific preview dates and hours. Entry is not guaranteed. Advance registration required. Valid Walt Disney World Annual Pass Card and valid photo ID required at check-in.

“Preview registration and entry are non transferable and void if sold or otherwise transferred. Operating hours, activities and locations are subject to availability, closures and change or cancellation without notice or liability. This preview registration does not require an additional Disney Park Pass Theme Park reservation to enter EPCOT on the day of your preview. Valid Theme Park admission required for Park entry and subject to applicable pass blockouts.”

Here’s a look at the full invitation email, in case you didn’t receive it:

For whatever reason, only some Annual Passholders received this invite. It’s not because they’re the only ones eligible…that’s just how Disney’s communications system seems to work. Our batting average for anything from Walt Disney World, whether it be paper mailers, magnets, or emails, is about .500, at best.

Sarah received this one, but I did not.

To register for the FREE Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Annual Passholder Previews at Walt Disney World, do the following, IN THIS ORDER:

1. Open an incognito/private browser window
2. Sign-in on DisneyWorld.com
3. CLICK HERE!

Note that this link is sometimes temperamental. You may have to log-out of My Disney Experience, log back in, etc., in order to get it to work.

Here is the process for registering, along with a couple of important tips to avoid further headaches…

While you’re in the waiting room, we STRONGLY recommend that you copy the queue ID. That’s your unique code, and will allow you to keep your place in the queue if something happens. With Disney’s new virtual waiting room system, you should always do this–not just for this Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure preview.

In fact, something did happen to me–Stitch ate my page while trying to register. I copy and pasted that link into a new browser tab and picked up where I left off. Phew.

We had another issue while trying to register–it would not let Sarah add me for some reason.

She was able to register herself and would’ve been able to register other friends with connected MDX accounts, but not me for some odd reason. (This has happened to us before.) Fortunately, I was also in the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure virtual queue and only 2 minutes behind her.

Here’s the first screen you’ll encounter after the wait is over.

Pretty standard info to click through. Be sure the registered guest list shows anyone you want to join you. (I had to remove Sarah, since she already registered, before completing my own registration.)

Here are available dates for the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure AP preview as of 10 am EST. Hour time slots are available between noon and 8 pm. I didn’t check every single day, but things are looking pretty good right now!

Unfortunately for those of you who are not Annual Passholders, the sheer volume of preview dates means general public soft openings are pretty unlikely. It’s always possible there will be some scattered in there (maybe September 20-22, 2021?) but we highly doubt it. This is probably it.

Finally, other terms from Walt Disney World, per that registration page:

Registration closes up to 7 days prior to the start of the event or when event reaches capacity (whichever occurs first). Event experience and available offerings are subject to change without notice and advance registration is required. You have 5 minutes to complete your selection before availability is released. Once a request has been submitted, you will not be able to modify your reservation.

For each event, the calendar displays dates based on availability and the group size you entered.
