Disney Vacation Club (DVC) has revealed the purpose of the recent construction at EPCOT’s Canada Pavilion. The project will bring the first in-park Welcome Home Center to Walt Disney World, set to open this spring.

Named Château de Voyage, the new space will serve as a dedicated location for guests to learn about DVC Membership while exploring a model room from the recently opened Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows.

Located in the Canada Pavilion’s Hotel du Canada building, this marks the first time DVC has introduced a Welcome Home Center inside a Walt Disney World theme park. The space aims to provide prospective members with a convenient opportunity to learn more about DVC while touring a detailed room model.

Construction at the pavilion had previously fueled speculation about various possibilities, including a bar, lounge, or exhibit. More details about Château de Voyage are expected to be shared as the spring opening approaches.

A similar Welcome Home Center opened at Disney Springs last year, called Gateway to Discovery.

Disney Vacation Club has announced what is coming - an in-park Welcome Home Center:

Coming this spring, the first in-park Welcome Home Center at Walt Disney World – Château de Voyage. Located in the Canada pavilion at EPCOT, this new space invites guests to explore Membership and visit a model room of Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows. Stay tuned for more details!
Sad to see all of this work is actually for a DVC center. How long until Disney starts to open in-park brokerage offices to see guests shares of Disney stock - if you buy 50 shares you get a plush Mickey.
wait - they’re building a model room of Polynesian? Inside a fake Canadian hotel? 😞
I'm hoping the long-term strategy is to move the current DVC kiosk in Canada to the new area and then let the festival booth take over the DVC/"Critter Crossing" area since it warrants the extended queue space.
100% what I was expecting. They weren't just gonna build a brand new bar/lounge in Epcot without announcing it until it was done.

Canada got invaded by DVC, bet they didnt see that one coming.
I have no words. Why am I surprised?

There's definitely a joke to do with Florida + Invading Canada that I should not make

Canada DVC will become EPCOT's 51st attraction.

I look forward to WDW's DVC-only 5th gate.
"Construction at the pavilion had previously fueled speculation about various possibilities, including a bar, lounge, or exhibit." All of which would have been better than this! I get that this is unused space so using for anything should be good, but it would be nice to have something for Epcot guests.

But, Epcot guests can enjoy this. They won't want to unless they're interested in DVC but it will be open to everyone ;)

so we know about the former store but what about the stone house?

I’ve heard all the buildings will be used
Utter and total disgrace.
