Disney Starts Phasing Out 3D Glasses on Select Rides With EPCOT’s Ratatouille Update

Advances in projection now let Imagineers deliver depth without eyewear.

Overview

  • Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT has been updated to run without 3D glasses, shifting the experience to a 2D presentation.
  • Coverage describes a quiet, selective move away from stereoscopic effects, with no system‑wide announcement from Disney.
  • Guest comfort is a key factor cited in reports, as combining motion with 3D imagery can trigger dizziness or nausea for some riders.
  • Operational considerations such as sanitation of shared glasses and the upkeep of calibrated 3D systems are driving the rethink.
  • Major attractions including Avatar: Flight of Passage, Toy Story Mania!, and Star Tours continue to use 3D, underscoring that the change is not universal.
