The Ratatouille ride was originally planned to open this past summer but obviously got delayed, but I've seen some reports that it's almost done if not pretty much complete. So I ask WDW when will it open? I've heard that WDW may just delay the opening to 2021 which I think is a huge mistake. Right now EPCOT is pretty much only busy on the weekends, which is why is seems half the places are only open on the weekends. Well Guests aren't stupid, if so many places are closed during the week then they will go to the other 3 parks instead. I'm of the belief that opening Ratatouille ASAP would be a domino effect in a good way.
A) We get a brand new, top notch technological attraction at WDW
B) Being that it's in EPCOT that should drive more crowd traffic to EPCOT which MIGHT lessen the crowds at the other parks during the week
C) With more guests at EPCOT during the week then more eateries could be open during the week, thus enticing MORE people to visit EPCOT during a "quiet" weekday
D) More things open means more CM jobs are filled
To me it's a no brainer Win/Win/Win/Win to do this sooner rather than later. And to be honest, if they would turn PH back on this also would drive more traffic to EPCOT as well, especially helping DHS due to the simple proximity between the two parks.
Decisions don't have to be complicated to make sense and work. Come on Disney, let's GO!!!!!
