I checked with someone on Twitter that typically has a lot of inside info and he said he wasn't aware of any potential changes. With no official announcement, I would expect the ride continues with a Virtual Queue and ILL$We were at Epcot last week and heard a rumor that BG for Ratatouille would be eliminated once Individual LL went into effect (similar to ROTR). Anyone else hear that?
I was sort of confused that they opened Remy with a VQ honestly, they have a ton of room back there for standby if it ever got crazy - it's unlikely it would ever affect traffic flow around the France pavilion.
It would if it goes quickly, I haven't been back since Remy opened but I have seen that the 1pm VQ sometimes stays available for around 2 hours.I have never understood BG for 3 hours.. it's a wonder anyone gets one for the first set.
Wouldnt the BG help increase the desire to pay to play.
I’ll be one who goes for both. We’re going during a busy week (thanksgiving) and don’t have park passes for Epcot on any days since we like to hop there for evenings. So I won’t risk the VQ having availability after 2 and instead I’ll just buy an evening ILL$ pass to take the stress out of my day. If I can also get a BG, great.It would if it goes quickly, I haven't been back since Remy opened but I have seen that the 1pm VQ sometimes stays available for around 2 hours.
There will always be people that don't want to deal with the VQ at all and just buy it - or go for both.

Currently they are offering both. Nothing has been announced (yet) about eliminating BGs.Are they cutting BG for Remy to do paid LL?
It'll be interesting to see if BGs are used to control the lines, or the Individual paid LL approach. Or a combination of both at times.I'm sure BGs will be the standard going forward. Expect it for Guardians, TRON, and any other new ride that comes down the pike. If RotR is any indication, as long as it's new and popular, every new ride will use BGs until the shine starts to wear off. It's a way to manage the lines until the lines manage themselves.
As of now, yes.It'll be interesting to see if BGs are used to control the lines, or the Individual paid LL approach. Or a combination of both at times.
Isn't Remy's the only BG at WDW now?
Yes, it is the only one now. It's also the newest ride in WDW. That's obviously no coincidence.It'll be interesting to see if BGs are used to control the lines, or the Individual paid LL approach. Or a combination of both at times.

Possibly, MMRR did not have boarding groups when it was opened last year. My guess would be that Disney IT can only handle probably only one BG at a time. Look what happened on 10-1-2021. They had a complete crash of their wifi system when they had queues for merchandise. There wifi is spotty at best. If they offer more queues they need better wifi capacity. Does Cheapek really want to spend that kind of money. Nope!!!!Yes, it is the only one now. It's also the newest ride in WDW. That's obviously no coincidence.
What we'll probably see going forward is BGs operate as we know they do, and guests will be able to buy in to a BG using the LL system.
