Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT now ends on a 25-foot charcuterie board, and Walt Disney Imagineering has finally shown how it got inside. A new six-minute video from Imagineering follows Sarah, a show set designer, as she walks the ride after hours and points out the new props that have been quietly added along the ride path this fall.
Disney promised new props and lighting enhancements when the EPCOT ride switched from 3D to 2D in late 2025. The first two new props showed up in September, a spilled box of linguini in the kitchen and the big board in the finale. The video covers those and a few more.

A Box Of Linguini With An Imagineering Address
The tour starts in the queue, where a new vent now matches the ones already in the load area. Sarah measured those vents by hand and rebuilt them in 3D to get the proportions right. She also reveals that every ride vehicle has its own name on a small panel in the back right corner. The one in the video is Kiwi Jr.
In the kitchen, the linguini spill was designed with direction from the Disneyland Paris team and looks almost exactly like the one in the French version of the ride. The box is an inside joke. Its brand is Glendali, and it reads Linguini No. 1, 401g, which together point to Imagineering’s headquarters at 1401 Flower Street in Glendale. The pile is shallower than it looks, sitting on a ramp that drops from about 8 inches to 2 inches, and the team spilled a real box of spaghetti to use as a reference for stacking the noodles.
Nearby, order tickets read Sweetbread Special, a detail lifted from the movie. The new rat trap came straight from Pixar, which handed over the model its animators used so Imagineering could scale it up and build it.
Fixes You Feel More Than See
Under the dining cart, a new bumper bar now runs along the bottom of the scene. Its job is to hide the line where the screen meets the floor, so the seam disappears from the ride vehicle. The speakers for that scene moved into the bar too, behind three perforated panels angled toward guests.
Getting The Board Through The Building
The finale board is 25 feet long, and only one door in the show building was big enough for it, on the far side from where it needed to go. The crew moved it along the same track path the ride vehicles follow until it reached the rooftop scene. Every install happened overnight so the ride never had to close, and the board took two nights: one to pull the teacup, cork and ramekin already in the scene, and one to bring in the board and lock those props back on top.
The wedge of Gruyère on the board is a tribute to Sarah’s dad, who visited her every other weekend while she studied industrial design in college. The two would stop at a mac and cheese shop where he always ordered ham and Gruyère. The cheese is also hollow, with one of the scene’s speakers hidden inside and pointed at guests.
