New Ratatouille interactive game to debut at 2015 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival During this year's Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, visitors have the chance to enjoy a new interactive game around World Showcase.

Beginning September 25, while supplies last, festival visitors can play Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak and help Remy as he makes his way around World Showcase at Epcot to gather ingredients for his signature dish, Ratatouille.

To play Remy's Ratatouille Hide & Squeak, players get a map to follow to help find the special ingredients Remy needs. Maps and stickers can be purchased for $9.95, plus tax at Disney Traders, the Festival Center, Pin Central, Port of Entry, and World Traveler (International Gateway).

Players then record their discoveries by placing the corresponding sticker on the specially themed map to represent that location.

Once players are finished searching for each ingredient, they return the map to the redemption location at Port of Entry by November 16, 2015 at Port of Entry to pick up a surprise.

Epcot Food and Wine Festival kiosk installation has started in World Showcase:

[PoohsFan1]

Yay, I am so glad I came across this thread. Could you please add us to the Roll Call list? We will be there from 10/14-10/20 staying at CSR (first time at this resort). DD12, DD14, and I will be going to MNSSHP on 10/16 (this will be our third time going but DH decided he didn't want to go this time around so he will be heading over to Epcot that night for dinner and Illuminations), we all decided to dress as characters from Inside Out (DD12 will be Joy, DD14 will be Disgust, and I will be dressed as Riley). Then on 10/19 DH and I will be enjoying music from Air Supply while the girls go off and ride some rides...DH is super excited about the concert since he loves that band, in fact he asked me to get a FP+ for the Eat to the Beat Series, when it first was offered, just so we can get a seat without waiting a long time .

Editing because I just looked at the Roll Call list and noticed that we were indeed on there, however it was for our old dates, we have since then added another night. Sorry about that .

 

[PoohsFan1]

BTW, I forgot to add in my previous post...we can all finally say....WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY NEXT MONTH!!!!!!

 

[kmrada]

We got lost....But thanks to your list I think we are found!! Please add us:

[Marshmelo]

Ok, now that I purchased our tickets today (!) I need to make sure I have my fp date figured out. Since we are offsite, I am at 30 days out before I can book. We are going to Studios on 10/14, so does that mean I can book those fp on night of 9/13 at midnight? Then the other days which are 14th and 15th will be the following two nights? Or can I book all 3 days on that first night? I know if you are onsite you can but wasn't sure about offsite. Thanks!
