DCL's Disney Dream will feature restaurant Remy with menu by dream team of international chefsBy Scott Joseph
At a dinner at New York City's Le Bernadin restaurant that was prepared by chefs Scott Hunnel (Victoria & Albert's) and Arnaud Lallement (l'Assiette Champenoise, Reims, France), Disney Cruise Lines announced that the upcoming ship Disney Dream will feature a fine-dining restaurant called Remy, with a menu designed by the two chefs.Published: April 8, 2010 at 8:05 AM

Mickey and Minnie look nothing like mice? From 71.143.6.227 on April 8, 2010 at 9:07 AM
Robert: You could also add that Mickey and Minnie are decades-old icons, while Remy is a character from a single recent movie, so there's a difference in familiarity. Anyone who's seen "Ratatouille" will associate Remy with gourmet dining, but to anyone who hasn't seen the movie, he's just a rat -- and a fairly realistic-looking one, compared to other cartoon rodents.

I really don't care who they name the restaurant after -- if it's in the least bit comparable to the meal I enjoyed at Palo aboard the Wonder, I'll be there! From Joshua Counsil on April 8, 2010 at 10:39 AM
The rat adds character. French restaurants, particularly bistros, are all about unfitting names, especially those that involve animals. We have two in town: one is called, "Chez Piggy," and the other is, "Chien Noir." When you think about it, those are pretty unappealing names, but both serve excellent food.

I do not understand why Remy the rat scares people in the resturants? We got Mickey and Minnie Mouse bugging you at every other place while you are trying to eat...the nerve :)
