Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure hides Disney Imagineering’s address

The spilled linguini box on EPCOT’s Ratatouille ride is a brand called “Glendali,” and its label reads “401g.” Put them together and you get 1401 Flower St., Imagineering’s headquarters in Glendale, California.

Walt Disney Imagineering hid its own street address in a box of pasta on EPCOT’s Ratatouille ride. Now it’s pointing it out.

In a new WED Walks video posted to the Walt Disney Imagineering YouTube channel Thursday evening, Nov. 5, associate show set designer Sarah walks through the new show sets at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. The video gives only her first name.

The best find is in the kitchen. The giant spilled linguini box carries a brand called “Glendali,” and its side label reads “Linguini No 1 401g.” WDW News Today and BlogMickey both connected the dots: 1401 Flower St. in Glendale, California, is Imagineering’s headquarters.

The new props have a job, too. They hide the spots where physical sets meet the ride’s screens, which got much easier to see after the ride dropped 3D, Laughing Place noted.

We covered the ride’s new queue scene on Oct. 17.

Here’s the WED Walks video from Walt Disney Imagineering:

What Easter eggs are hidden on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure?

Sarah points out several in the six-minute video:

• The Glendali box: The linguini brand plus the “401g” label spell out Imagineering’s 1401 Flower St. address.

• The Sweetbread Special: Many of the new order tickets in the kitchen are for the “Sweetbread Special,” based on a ticket seen in the movie, WDWNT reported.

• Pixar’s rat trap: The trap next to the linguini copies the one that snaps Skinner’s hand later in the ride. Pixar sent over the actual model its animators used, and Imagineers scaled it up.

• Your rat’s name: Each ride vehicle has a name on a small panel in the back right corner. The one in the video is Kiwi Jr., BlogMickey reported.

• The cheese: A Gruyere wedge on the finale’s board is a tribute to Sarah’s dad. He ordered ham and Gruyere at a mac and cheese shop they visited while she was in college.

What new props were added to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure?

Four big pieces, counting the one in the queue.

• Queue vent: The old 3D glasses station is now a vent showing rat silhouettes. Sarah measured an existing vent in the load area with a tape measure so the new one would match.

• Spilled linguini: It’s really a ramp with pasta on top, about 8 inches tall at one end and 2 inches at the other, per BlogMickey. Imagineers spilled a real box of spaghetti and used a photo as their guide.

• Dining cart bumper: A bar under the giant dining cart hides where the screen meets the floor. The scene’s speakers moved into it, behind three perforated panels.

• Charcuterie board: The finale now has a giant board, about 25 feet long, according to BlogMickey. A block of cheese on it hides a speaker that was moved to improve the sound.

How did Disney install the props without closing the ride?

Overnight. Imagineering worked with EPCOT’s operations team so the ride didn’t need any downtime, WDWNT reported.

The charcuterie board was the tricky one. The only door big enough was on the far side of the show building, so the board traveled in along the same path as the ride vehicles.

It took two nights. Crews removed a teacup, a cork and a ramekin the first night. On the second night, they set the board in place and put those props back on top.

Sarah says tucking equipment that other teams need inside a big set piece is part of her everyday job, BlogMickey noted. Somewhere at EPCOT, a speaker lives inside a cheese. Living the dream.

Why did Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure switch to 2D?

Disney closed the ride Nov. 10 to 13, 2025, to convert it from 3D to 2D, WDWNT reported at the time. Disney promised “enhanced digital visuals and clearer imagery projected in 2D,” plus new props and lighting over the following months.

An Imagineering permit for new set elements turned up in May 2026, and fans first spotted the linguini and cutting board in September, BlogMickey reported.

The ideas came from France. The original ride at Disneyland Paris got similar updates, and the EPCOT linguini spill is nearly identical to the Paris one, based on direction from the Paris team, BlogMickey said.

When did Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure open at EPCOT?

On Oct. 1, 2021, in the France pavilion, the first day of Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration. The Paris original opened in 2014.

Laughing Place also posted a full ride-through with the updated props, if you want to spot the Glendali box before your next EPCOT day.
