 Hey friends today, we are at Epcot and we are going to be doing our annual pass holder preview for Remy's Ratatouille adventure. I am so excited to be riding Disney World's newest attraction It's set to open October 1st But annual pass holders and cast members are getting an early preview and today is the day for me Anywho's let's go do this And I guess the best way to start a day at Epcot is saying hi to Mickey and Minnie Hi Minnie They're greeting all the guests as they actually start out their day here at Epcot. Isn't that so amazing? I love the fact that they have the characters meet and guest as soon as they walk in the park because you have to figure a Lot of people when they come to Disney for the first time they make it a point that they're like all right We're gonna meet Mickey and Minnie So if this is your first time coming and you walk in the park and you immediately Meet Mickey and Minnie. It's like you just checked off something from your to-do list and you're already starting the day off great So I hope they continue that because I think it's a really great idea We have a little time before our ratatouille adventure begins So we're just gonna kind of walk around the park maybe get some snacks and some drinks and just get all hyped I mean, this is a big thing. I am excited the pass holder preview started I think two days ago and I think it was just like a first come first serve as they go and When I logged on I ended up getting today, which is a couple of days after the first day and it's okay I mean, I'm excited to actually just be able to come and ride the ride And it's the same as the one that they have in Disneyland Paris I've been told but I've never ridden that one. So it's like a brand new ride to me I think we're gonna head straight back to world showcase and check out some of the food and wine boats There's a couple of things that I really liked and I would like to revisit them and maybe look for some new items as well Along with previewing the ride. We're also gonna be able to preview the restaurant the new crepe restaurant So we're not gonna want to get too much food, but I can get a drink or two It is super hot out today, and I want to get myself probably my favorite Non-alcoholic beverage here at the food and wine festival the spiced apple chai tea. This is so refreshing I absolutely love it. I think I've gotten it three times already. It is that good and it's right here at the earth eat stand Just as you're about to walk in the world showcase a nice chai tea on a hot day and I love this like I'm not a big sweet tea fan Usually I get unsweet tea, but this is like just naturally sweet and then it's so refreshing and delicious I can't get enough of it And you got to use your cinnamon stick to actually mix it around a little bit to add that cinnamon flavor But this is definitely one of my favorite things from food and wine festival I have been avoiding watching anyone's footage of the ride in the new area because I want to be shocked and I want to be excited for the first time that I see it So we're probably gonna just kind of hang out there for the most time just taking it all in But I'm sure we're gonna actually partake in some other festivities around Epcot Maybe a couple of our regular Epcot favorites. Maybe a little fig man or soren who knows we've got the whole day Now that we have officially made it into world showcase. I think I'm gonna try some of the stands I haven't tried anything at yet the Ireland stand recently We opened a couple of weeks ago, and I didn't get anything from here yet So maybe we'll look at the menu here. I might end up getting that warm chocolate pudding cake That sounds good. Holy moly look at it. It's right there But also I have had the roasted Irish sausage in the past and I don't think it's changed months since like the prior food and wine Festivals, but I don't think I've ever had that. So I think we found our winner a Warm chocolate pudding cake with Irish cream liqueur custard sounds absolutely amazing Also, I brought a little fan with me to try to keep me cool because like I said It is really hot in August and hanging out in world showcase There's not many places you can actually duck out and get some AC So we're just gonna kind of fan it up a little bit And here it is take a look at this bad boy I like how they put the Irish liqueur right on there, and we're gonna just cut right down the middle See how it goes. Oh, it's so soft. I already know. Oh, wow That is gonna be much too good This seems like it's gonna be an amazing dessert. It's very warm It's a nice warm cake like a lava cake and the icing looks amazing. So we're just gonna dive right in That is seriously so so good and when you cut into it you want to actually get as much as that Custard as you can and just get it all up. That's the way This is probably gonna take the cake for me as the best dessert at fruit and wine I know I've had a couple of them and I can honestly say probably this one is the best so far The other ones were good like the apple tart in the apple orchard was really really good But just a combination of the Irish cream like custard and the warm cake. You can't beat it. You can't Now it's time to move along and I actually hear some music Coming from the back of the United Kingdom Pavilion. So I came back to investigate. Oh This is a nice little treat Yeah Majority He's a wonderful drink and he made it out of the house. He must have been an Admiral or a Sultan or a King. Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer. Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer. It was for the James Puff, the Rose of the Crown as well. One thing you can be sure it's Charlie's Beardley Soat. So all he loves and loves is that 11 o'clock we stop. For five short seconds we remember Charlie Mouse. Well that was really nice to see Carol playing in the gazebo. Usually Alice and Mary Poppins are back there. They go to the gazebo whenever it's raining. So I don't know if Carol's back there just for food and wine festival, but it's really cool. And she kind of gave me an idea of what I should do next. Might as well visit the Rose of the Crown since we were singing about beer and grab ourselves a pint before we actually get on Remy's Ratatouille adventure. I love coming here and hanging out and this is where Carol usually plays. She's in the, she's on a piano in the corner there. But yeah, this is a good spot. Normally you can hang out in here and actually sit down and relax, but right now it's just a grab and go. So we'll grab ours and go and maybe just kind of hang out and linger around this area for a little bit. I decided on going with a golden which is a mix between harp and bass. And I think I've had this before. I'm not too sure. Usually I just stick with the harp but we're gonna switch things up a little bit today. And look how empty it is in here. Like it's so strange always seeing the Rose of the Crown and to usually there's bodies on top of bodies trying to get drinks and like there's nowhere to stand in here. But I kind of like the grab and go because you get to come in and just kind of a look at everything and then take in actually the little details about all the different pictures and just the amazing Rose of the Crown. Even though you can't drink inside the Rose of the Crown, they still have a little garden area where you can come out and they've got some nice tables and chairs and you can sit back and people watch and just kind of enjoy. So cheers. And now I believe it. It is time for our annual pass holder preview. I am so excited. It is very crowded over here in the France pavilion. Lots of pass holders all ready to ride and enjoy the ride for the first time. Here we are. And it looks like they're checking in people and then we get to go back there. And I'm excited to get a crepe as well. And holy moly, we're here. Look at this. Lots and lots of people. Tons of people in line to get some crepes and just being able to see this. Last time we were here, there was a big wall right there. So we didn't get to see any of this and I can't even believe it. It looks so beautiful back here. Very well themed and wow, this is gonna be great. I think we might as well just jump right in line to ride Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. I think we can ride it as many times as we want. So we can ride this then go get a crepe then come back, ride it again and just enjoy. And maybe just take a look at all the details in here. It says it's only a 20 minute wait. And I think that's pretty phenomenal because I was expecting a long, long wait being that there would be so many annual pass holders here and they would all be here just doing this. But yeah, 20 minutes, not bad at all. This is so awesome. I am so excited. They got a single rider line as well and a Fastpass Plus. I'm not gonna shock him in and change that to Lightning Lane yet. It didn't even open. So I don't know why they even put Fastpass Plus. But we're going in. Half the line is outdoors, half the line is indoors. So now we're gonna mask up because we're indoors in this section. But it was nice to just hang out there without the mask for a while but as soon as we get in, mask up. I like how the wallpaper has little Remy's and a meals throughout it. It's actually a really nice wallpaper all throughout the queue. Kinda has a little haunted mansion to it a little bit. I don't know if you can see it or not, but it is very nice. Oh, and wow. This part of the queue is amazing. I'm sure a lot of people have really liked it in here. This is beautiful. This literally is one of the best themed queues I think I've ever seen, especially in this room itself. Holy moly. And welcome to Panini, the city of Latin. I do hope you have brought your level plan because tonight, Chef Remy is preparing one of his recipes for which I am sending you enjoy. Remember, food always comes to those who love to cook, but not to those who are into the lava. Oh my Lord, I love this safety video right here. That is so awesome. And we gotta put on our 3D glasses and these are probably the most like, sturdiest glasses I think I've ever seen at Disney. I don't know if it's because they're brand new or if they're just made different, but I like them. And it looks like this one's gonna be my little squeaker. Oh, look, they have little separations instead of one big bench. Sweet baby, watch out for me. Chef Remy is waiting for me. This way. Invited for the dinner. Yes, but what to prepare? Too simple. What? Me, wait, that's it. I'm going to fire. I'm dying. I'm gonna make you go see food. I'm gonna make you go see food. I'm dying. I'm gonna start. Please pronounce seated. We're gonna continue our policy adventure in just a moment. I think we're momentarily delayed. This is strange. Looks like they shut the music off and we're just sitting here. So please stay seated and we'll continue our adventure in just a moment. How funny would it be to get evacuated off for Remy Ratatouille the first time I got to ride it? I would be, I would actually, I wouldn't mind it at all. You're seated at this time. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. We were doing your journey as soon as possible. They're actually letting us just rewrite again. That is super awesome. Just one. All right. Oh yeah, no. Hey, we get to ride again. Nice. As soon as we got off the ride, they just let us actually rewrite again without waiting. They just had us cut the corner and we literally just got right back on. We were only stuck there for about maybe 15 minutes. But man, I would have loved to walk off this ride. Can you only imagine like the first time you get to ride and then you actually do it with a knee back? I mean, that would be amazing. An in-show exit. I just can't get over how cute these cars are though. They are so amazing. I mean, I know it's Remy and Emil, but I think a Gus-Gus already as well. One of the things I like about the ride and I've only done it once is the amazing smells that they actually incorporate in it. It adds to Disney's reputation for having the best smelling rides out there. And this is one of them. This has to be my favorite scene of the ride though. I love all these life-sized foods. Many glossy food. So awesome. I love the fact that we got to ride twice back to back. And I like that we actually got a little bit of an in-show exit almost happening. I mean, I like that the ride went down, but I'm sure because the ride went down, the line for the pass holders probably went out big time. So we're gonna check that out now that we officially got off. Oh, definitely. It says 15 minutes, but I mean, there's a huge, huge line here. So I don't think it actually calculated yet for the old, the downtime that we were in there for. Like, I think we walked right in here and we didn't wait in any of this line out here. So it definitely is a lot longer than 15 minutes because we waited 20. Holy moly, it got really busy back here. So I have to say, I think it was really interesting on how wet you can actually get. You know, when they like swash the mop and like the mop knocked the rattle way, you get wet from that. There's a couple of different scenes and compressed air. Overall, I really did enjoy the ride. It was nice. It's a cute family fun ride. And I don't see waiting like extremely long, long times for it, you know what I mean? Like it's not like rides of the resistance or flight of passage, but it's a great ride, especially if you love Remy or Ratatouille. Now I think we're gonna actually hop in line to try some crepes, you know? And I think we're gonna do it inside instead of doing the takeout window. I like to just kind of sit down and relax. So I don't know how that works. I hear there is a bigger menu on the inside. I don't know if that's true or not. We're gonna find out. So like I said, I'd like to sit down and relax a little bit and I really liked sitting in here. It's like a really cool place to kind of just chill out, grab a drink and relax. Once it does reopen, I'd love to come back here and take a bunch of photos and just hang out. Here is a look at the crepes and it looks like they've got some soup. They got some salad. They've got ratatouille. That is definitely something we're gonna try. And then also they've got some dessert crepes. Oh, I'm interested in the banana caramel brie. That sounds really awesome. And yeah, I don't know, we'll try some food. They also have ciders. I wonder if they have any beer. Now we officially made it in and it was only about like a 15 minute wait so that wasn't bad at all. And we can take a look at the menu. It's a very small dining room. It's not that big at all. And I get ready to try some crepes. Right here is where I walked in and basically what you see is the dining room. It's a very small dining room, about 75 to 100 people probably. And I like the decor. And yeah, we can take a look, see at the menu. It's on the table and it's got everything that we've seen out front. But one thing that I did notice, they do have some imported sodas like they have a French orange soda. I'm kind of interested in trying that. I'm not a big soda drinker but I don't know, I couldn't say no to a French orange soda. They do have some ciders. I'm not a big fan of cider. And they had the Kronenberg beer which I actually just had the Kronenberg beer. So I think I'll do an orange soda and then the Ratatouille crepe and then the banana crepe. I was gonna do the prefix but I really don't think I need all that. I mean, it comes with soup and then a choice of the hard cider. So I think this is probably cheaper and it gets everything that I need. Here is the imported orange soda. Look at that, very fancy. Go ahead, no he's gonna give me a pour. I gotta pick up my magic band. Fancy. Fancy dancing over here. Since 1936. Good to know. Thank you. Fancy orange soda. Everybody cheers. I'm excited to try it. It's good. Wow. It literally tastes like an orange juice soda. Like not like an orange soda but like orange juice carbonated. Like that is the taste. And it actually does have pulp in it made with real orange pulp. So I actually like this a lot. Not too bad. Caffeine free, contains 12% juice. And here they are. Look at this, the Ratatouille crepe and then the banana crepe and these both look amazing. And I really do love this soda. I wasn't expecting to actually get like a soda soda. I thought I was gonna get like a beer but there's not much that I really like and I didn't like any of the ciders. So I got an amazing new soda that I love and hopefully some new crepes that I might love as well. I'm gonna start with the Ratatouille crepe. I'm gonna take a look, see unfold it a little bit. Oh yeah, look at that. You can see all the tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant on there. I don't know how far it goes but we're gonna cut into here. I'm gonna just take a little bit from the side. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, there's a lot in there actually. Awesome. I'm not too sure what to expect here. I mean, I don't think I've ever had anything like this before. That is very, very good. And especially if you like zucchini. I love the Ratatouille that they had here for, I believe it was the Festival of the Arts. It was in the world's show place. And yeah, this is right up my alley. I like this a lot. I was shocked too. I don't think I can eat anything else because most of it has like gruy and Swiss cheese in it and I'm not too fond of those things. So this is the only savory crepe I think I'm gonna be able to eat from here. I feel like $16 for one crepe really isn't that great of a deal. It's still, it's a very delicious crepe like don't get me wrong but it's not like a meal meal. You know what I mean? Like it's not very full. Now eating a savory and a dessert crepe, I think that really does fill you up but then you're looking at like $26. So basically overall $26 plus beverages or you can go with the prefix where you get a soup or salad, a savory, a dessert and a cider for $33. And that's not a bad deal. Now it's time to dive in to this bad boy and this one I have high expectations for. I love bananas and I just, I knew it. It called my name as soon as I saw it and wow, it looks good. One crepe for us all here. So amazing. Oh my Lord, I will definitely be coming back to get this time and time again. First I'm going to have to try all the crepes but holy moly, this is just so, so good. I love it. I love the caramel sauce and I love just the taste of the crepe on its own. So amazing. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. I think savory and a dessert crepe I think savory crepes are good but I think the dessert ones are better. You know what I mean? I really, really, I love this one. Holy moly. I am, like I said, I'm definitely going to be getting it again. Look at that. So, so good. Clean the plate. Thank you. Sad moment. Clean the plate. Well, I'll finish with my crepe and what a crepe experience. I loved it. Honestly, the dessert crepes were probably my favorite. I don't know if I'm going to be able to try any of the other savorys, like I said, because I don't like the ingredients but I'll definitely come back and try each one of them. And now it's starting to get a little dark out and I wanted to take a look at the Remy Ratatouille adventure sign, the Remy's Ratatouille adventure sign all lit up because it looks beautiful. And look at that. You can see you got the lit up sign there, the lit up gasot sign up top and I remember actually just riding the skyliner because you can see it right there. I remember coming and riding through here just so we can get a glimpse of this and hoping one day that we'd be able to come down and see it for ourselves and here we are. And it's just as beautiful and it's just as amazing as I thought it would be. I love just seeing the skyliner actually go back and forth. I feel like that is a big part of this. Also, it looks like they have a lot of merchandise out and you got little light up cheeses here. How funny is that? A cheese glow necklace. And then of course you got the Remy's Ratatouille adventure ears, a couple of shirts and the hat. And the Remy Ratatouille hats are really awesome. Look at, I love how they light up and you can see them going around in there. And then it comes back down on its own. This is really, really cool. 39.99, not too bad at all, but I like it. Well, I guess with that I am done here today. Such an amazing adventure. It was a Remy's Ratatouille adventure. And I love the crepes. I love being able to ride the ride and just seeing new things earlier than what I thought I was gonna see. And I thought I wasn't gonna be able to see this all until October 1st. And here we are with a little preview. And I loved it. So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. And we'll see you next time. Bye.
