The restaurant “Rendez-Vous des Stars” (on the building: Rendez-Vous des Stars Restaurant) in the Walt Disney Studios has become another opening day element of the theme park that was “adjusted”. While operations of the restaurnt continue in the recent weeks it was renamed to “RESTAURANT des STARS”. Signage on the building has been replaced and a new canopy in a warm color with a newly designed logo for the restaurant was added above the entrance. However, the menu signs are still referring to it as “Rendez-Vous des Stars” – but should be changed soon enough as well.

Besides the change in the name and according adjustments on the signage it is pretty much operation as usual for the restaurant – but then the restaurant already underwent changes in the past, when it switched from the original “cafeteria” concept to an all you can eat buffet with drinks served at the table. Speaking of “operation as usual”: despite reports from US websites that indicated that the miniature character of Remy (the small chef and star of Ratatouille) might have moved to EPCOT at Walt Disney World, he is still wheeled out into the dining room by a junior chef repeatedly throughout the day to make sure guests enjoy their food and entertain them even with a little dance. The small sized live character (the size of a real rat) had its world premier in the Walt Disney Studios – and it must be his twin who is now helping the chefs at Les Chefs de France in EPCOT. According signs announcing his residency at “Restaurant des Stars” were removed from the roof of the building, but are now adorning the walls in the direct sight lines of guests.
