The app only says 40 minutes right now... not what I would call "long"

As stated in the article, this line was at Rope Drop.

“Earlier today, we made it out to EPCOT to check out the rope drop demand for the ride and provide an on-the-ground look at crowds!”

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Added to Early Entry Perk

Today marks the first day that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will utilize the standby line since it opened in October 2021. With that, the attraction has been added to the Early Entry hotel perk that allows all guests of Walt Disney World hotels to enter the theme parks 30 minutes before the official park opening time.

Quoting to update:

UPDATE: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Early Entry Availability Being “Tested” at EPCOT

Disney World Resort guests visiting EPCOT this morning were able to board Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure during the Resort Guest Early Entry period, but it might not always be this way.

According to managers in the area that BlogMickey.com spoke with, this morning’s Early Entry availability was a “test” and that’s why Remy wasn’t officially added to the list of Early Entry offerings on the Walt Disney World website.

Operations teams are likely looking at what kind of demand the attraction is receiving at rope drop, and if packing 30-minutes worth of resort guests into the queue at the start of the day is a bad idea or not.

That picture is definitely not the new Margherita Flatbread with all that ham on it. Also, the last time I was there (6 years ago), they had the Margherita pizza, so it seems like they're just bringing it back? It was always a fave of mine.

Florida Resident Weekday Magic Ticket Announced

This type of ticket always went on sale right after race weekend but it included weekend days too and was valid usually until the first week of June and you didn’t have to use them all in one trip. The last few years they excluded the holiday weekends, which is understandable. This however is a bit ridiculous because as a previous poster said it’s basically the pixie pass, there’s no benefit to Florida residents with kids who usually go there for weekend getaways.

I wonder if a general ticket offer is next or a 4 park magic ticket?

Are there specific days of Resort Guest Early Entry or is it everyday?

The 30 minutes is every day. For Deluxe hotel guests, there are some evening extra hours, but they are for specific days & parks only.

I was about to ask what all of the pink things were, lol. eta: to be fair, I already LOVE margherita pizza but think I'd love whatever the photo was more!
