No huge signs of progress today. You can kind of see through the curtains on the second level which is interesting because they used to have faux walls behind them which have been removed. Very curious to see why. Also note the many missing trees along the rock line. This seems to be a constant struggle as there is no real easy way to safely get them up there without big machinery.

The stone house opposite the hotel was designed to be a guest space but never utilized, but that could be an option

I don’t believe there would be room for both

Is the entire footprint that "second floor" of the hotel structure? In other words, is there just room for a lounge or could there be a retail venue as well?

Which is absolutely stupid considering they have some great brands that could easily fill a shop of recognizably Canadian specialty goods... More-so than China or half the other pavilions...

Canada really has the worst merchandise offerings out of all the countries

And here I was hoping that we would get a more formal gift shop space for actual Canadian made goods, or even the long rumored HBC store... Oh well, better than nothing.

But they'll apologize, so it will be Canadian.

iirc i got told it's looking to be incredibles and monsters inc themed /s

People laugh, but considering recent decisions, it's not a given that a lounge in the Canada pavilion would be Canada themed.

Curious to what is happening up there, that’s the second floor and those windows have shadow boxes behind them so someone is rummaging around to cause that

Norway's trolls are now living there after being evicted by some ice princess... And - 100% yes to outdoor seating overlooking the falls. That could be a lovely hidden gem for some ice wine and other northern sippables. Add some maple taffy and a beaver tail and we've got a winner. (I heard it on good authority, the trolls will taunt drunken guests, saying "back... back... over the falls...")

Isn't this where the house elves sometimes look out the windows?

it should be a large canopy structure for outdoor seating for the bar... all overlooking the falls. What a lovely space that could be... dumbwaiter some food up from the kitchens below for snacks and nibbles with your cocktail... That would be a place I would enjoy...
