With

"Most Magical Celebration in the World"

There will be 50 golden sculptures in the theme parks.

.
Because in its mission to “inspire everyone to believe in magic,” the show will feature enhanced lighting, music from its classics, fireworks and, for the first time, immersive projection effects from the castle to Main Street.

From falling through a skylight to running through Gusteau's kitchen and hiding in the restaurant's pantry ... everyone will feel like they're right next to Chef Remy and can dodge a rag, avoid being trampled on, or marvel at huge chunks of food.
Trackless vehicles will move back and forth as they twist, lean, bounce, and run from one scene to the next.
Depending on which vehicle the families board, the path will change slightly and new details from Remy's Ratatouille will appear.
In tune with the social distance imposed by the pandemic, there will be no queuing here:
the queue will be virtual and limited
, subject to availability.
And each person will be able to enter the virtual queue, at most, once a day in this area of the expanded French pavilion.
In this area,
La Crêperie de Paris will
also open in October
, offering sweet and savory crepes without gluten, and French cider.
