Walt Disney World Resort has quietly introduced a new enhancement to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT’s France Pavilion, just three years after the popular attraction opened. This seemingly minor update has sparked speculation about potential operational changes to improve efficiency and guest experience.
New Seat Numbers on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Cars
Walt Disney Imagineers have added seat numbers to the rat-shaped ride vehicles, marking another step in the attraction’s evolution. Each bench seat now features clearly labeled numbers—1, 2, and 3—displayed on the backs of the seats.
A Reddit user, u/Traviscat, shared an image of the new feature implemented earlier this month. While the seat numbers are currently not in active use by cast members, their design integrates seamlessly with the ride’s aesthetic, hinting that they may play a more prominent role in the future.

These seat numbers are likely aimed at streamlining the boarding process. By providing clearer indicators for guest placement, Disney cast members could reduce delays during loading and improve overall efficiency, especially during peak times.
Could a Single Rider Line Finally Be Activated?
This update has reignited rumors surrounding the attraction’s unused single rider line. Although the queue for solo riders has existed since the ride’s debut in 2021, it has yet to be activated. Many Disney Parks fans believe that adding seat numbers could pave the way for its implementation, making it easier for cast members to identify and fill empty seats with single riders.
A single rider line would be a welcome addition for many guests, particularly during EPCOT’s busiest seasons. It would allow solo visitors or groups willing to split up to experience the attraction with shorter wait times, enhancing overall efficiency.
Walt Disney World Resort has not officially commented on whether the seat numbers are tied to further operational changes.
