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.

Terrible waste of space to put a bloody DVC lounge in there when the Canadian pavilion could use much more than that...

Old photos gave it Grand Floridian vibes, but that's at least closer to the general feel of a posh RR hotel than...rustic lodge.

Waiting to see actual photos, but to be fair the old interior design also didn’t look like the chateau Laurier either. A lot of the world showcase facades don’t match the interiors.

"The entry room is themed like a rustic Canadian lodge, complete with dark wood paneling, cozy lounge-style chairs, and even a classic train set display that ties into the atmosphere." For reference, this is what the lobby of Chateau Laurier (what EPCOT's faux hotel is based on) looks like. "rustic lodge" it is not Chateau Frontenac, what EPCOT's hotel is often assumed to be based on, has a lower ceiling in it's lobby, but not "rustic"
