Ratatouille still at Chefs de France?

[doodleboy]

Does anyone know if Ratatouille is still making appearances at Chef de France during lunch? If so, around what time does he appear? Where in the restaurant? And for how long? Any info will be helpful for our trip in May.

We were there in October, had dinner around 5:00 and he made an appearance around 5:30. Very cute. My 18 month old was in awe!

I'm not sure if he's still there, but I had lunch there in late July, and he came around the dining room at around 2:30pm. He stayed out for a while -maybe half an hour - and stopped at every table. He was adorable.

He's still there, but his tenure has not been definitively announced. The Social Media Director for the Disney Parks division has confirmed he will still appear through at least March 2010.


The following is the latest official statement from the Walt Disney World resort:



‘Chef Remy’ Audio-Animatronics Figure Remains in Epcot

by Thomas Smith, Social Media Director, Disney Parks
October 14th, 2009

Judging by online conversations, there’s some question about whether Chef Remy, one of our newest Audio-Animatronics characters, can still be seen in Epcot. The answer is, yes, you can still enjoy Chef Remy’s culinary talents.

“Bon Appetit from Chef Remy” at Les Chefs de France at Epcot was initially scheduled to end in September but his appearances have been extended.

If you haven’t experienced Remy’s hijinks, you should. The rat-turned-chef made famous in the Academy Award-winning film Ratatouille flirts, dances and entertains several times a week at the France pavilion in Epcot.

Excitement around Chef Remy begins with his presentation — how he’s revealed. He travels table-to-table on a rolling gourmet food cart. Then a Maitre d’ lifts the lid off a silver-domed cheese platter to begin the show and the smallest Audio-Animatronics character ever created by Walt Disney Imagineering doesn’t disappoint. When Remy recently visited our table at Les Chefs de France restaurant, he didn’t leave until the entire group was laughing.

... Shows are daily Monday through Saturday ... 12:30, 1:40, 2:50 and 5:20 pm.

thanks for the update. It is good to know that we will be able to catch Remy when we eat at Chefs in January. :mickey:
