EPCOT Canada Pavilion Construction Update - Is a Bar or DVC Addition on the Way?

Canada Pavilion construction - December 27, 2024
Posted: Friday December 27, 2024 11:00am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

A new exterior-facing kiosk window is taking shape at EPCOT's Canada Pavilion, part of a still unknown project.


The construction is focused on the Hotel du Canada area, a part of the pavilion that has been inaccessible to guests for years. A previously filed permit listed the project as "Install Set Elements" and was assigned to Icarus Exhibits. This vendor has extensive experience with Disney, having contributed to TRON Lightcycle Run, Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, and Toy Story Land.

While the permit's description remains intentionally vague, the involvement of Walt Disney Imagineering indicates a guest-facing addition is likely. Combined with the kiosk-style window visible in the construction photos, it seems the pavilion might be expanding its offerings.

Current theories suggest the possibility of a bar or lounge space, while others wonder if it could tie into a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) initiative.

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?

You are correct. Here’s a picture of the entrance.

I believe its upstairs in the former sponsor lounge in the American Adventure.

Does the elevator go to the kitchen? Related, is there a club 33 in Epcot?

That’s a Covid casualty in my book. The budget ran out and the expansion needed an eatery. 😂🤣
