I know you won't be able to see the Tower from the Ratatouille courtyard (they've made it so it's near impossible), but depending on how high the sign is, I just hope it can't be seen from the main WS pathways.
EDIT: Nevermind, not worried about sightlines anymore, but more how cartoonish it is:
But Frozen was at least done within theme. The meet and greet, the sign to FEA, etc are all good don’t that blends with the other buildings and not a giant lit up cartoon Olaf, for example.Ya, not entirely sure how I feel about this either but I mean WS hasn't been the same since Frozen. I guess I'm more used to it now but not a great look.
Is this visible in World Showcase? Or is it only visible when coming in on the Skyliner? Not sure where the ride entrance will be officially.
I don't think it will be visible from the main walkway in World Showcase. You'll have to turn the corner at the pavilion to make your way towards the ride (or restaurant) back that way. Poppins will be the same in that it'll be hidden from the main path (although i'm hearing conflicting reports about if it's actually a ride or not now...)In their defense, the ride entrance and sign is located around back of the France pavilion so you won't be able to see it from the main walkway around World Showcase.
Yeah, as much as the IP doesn't fit the location, they did stay true to the architectural theming of the buildings around the ride. I think the more egregious thing happening in France personally is the BatB sing-a-long, though. I think overall, the new courtyard will look like most of the rest of World Showcase. The sing-a-long is extremely out of place though.Ya- I don’t like it at all. Let’s hope it’s hidden from 90% of the land and only really visible as you make your way to the Rat. I’ll judge from the ground IRL, but that thing is huge and lit up and I’m not sure if I’m going to be a fan.

Because the land wasn't designed after the movie. They're putting a movie design into the already existing land; a land designed after the country of France.Don't know why everyone is hating on the sign. It's the exact same one as in the movie!! Without the sign, IMHO, the ride would not be complete. The sign is kind of a key part of the movie.
While I've had to cancel my trip since, I was offered by an employee to ride this during my 2 week stay in Mid April, I don't think this is far out of the question whatsoever.So a thought just occurred to me that SSE is closing right after Memorial day weekend. Disney typically considers that weekend to be their official "Start of Summer" and have opened a few attractions over the holiday in recent memory (SDMT, Pandora, SWGE - DL). The courtyard is looking great right now and testing is underway.
I'm not saying that we should expect this ride to open over Memorial Day weekend, but with SSE closing, the park is going to need the ride and if it's ready i'm assuming they'll want to open it ASAP. I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if shortly after SSE closed, Rat opens.
I'd say pretty good, so long as the ride stops giving them issues.What are the odds on this being open by mid June?

No. But it’s not a real restaurant in Disneyland Paris either. They have Remy’s Bistro at the exit there. But ours will not include a restaurant. We are getting a new Crepe restaurant with the addition though, located closer to the Skyliner side.Will gusteau’s have a restaurant?
