The major exterior refurbishment project at the Hotel du Canada in EPCOT's Canada pavilion is continuing this week, with new paintwork now visible.

The exterior of the Hotel du Canada is now half painted in a new color, which is much lighter than the previous beige color scheme.



Le Cellier, located in the building, remains open as normal during the work

It’s been hit or miss lately but was working the last time I walked backed there. Not sure if it’s what you’re referring to but a lot of “green sludge” was intentionally painted on the last time the rocks were painted.

did you mean it does go to the right people? The last time I sent in a complaint regarding Morocco for the reasons donaldtoo stated, I got some response from what read like a teenager basically brushing off what I said and too bad so sad. I was very surprised at the lack of care and I dont care attitude response I got. After that I was like well this is pointless to do and haven't sent in anything since. But WS has some problems now for sure. Roof work in Norway is starting to not match up, the barely left waterfall off (of course frozen being closed may be why), the Morocco mess, Canada left to rot, and there were a couple of other things visually I forget now but will try to remember for a list.

Over the years that waterfall has had plumbing issues, could be that acting up again, agreed that it looks terrible. Also the lack of trees along the rock facade allowing you to see backstage also terrible. You can joint my fight guest.services@disneyworld.com, you’ll get a canned response but it doesn’t go to the right people.

I say start that thread…!!! I’m still ticked over how they took the fountain and planters in the front of the Morocco pavilion from Moroccan Artisan to Home Depot…what a joke…!!!!! :mad::hilarious:;)

I know this is a thread bump but figured best place, what's going on that they can't run the water/waterfalls in this pavilion anymore, it looks terrible. The rocks are full of green sludge, it all just looks like its been let go. Between this and the shell of Morocco among a few other issues in WS,,,which I should probably just start a new thread for because they are detailed nitpicks, but still. This particular one with Canada is bad.

But not everyone could visit it as a chase lounge either

Bob wants money, those people got money

Why do we need another place where no one else could ever visit? I preferred it as a Chase Lounge..

JoeCamelApr 30, 2025

No reason? Really?

Cmdr_CrimsonApr 30, 2025

Yep, That was the Chase Lounge...I was so happy to finally get a chase card and the year I get it they closed it to become a Pointless club 33 for no reason..

The windows look stupid. You would think they would put floor to ceiling curtains to cover it!

Nothin' but the best for their paying tenants 👍 ;)

VR. Unless that changed.

Maybe they could start a Club 23 for the real high rollers?
