EPCOT Canada Pavilion exterior refurbishment 2023

[HauntedPirate]

I wanna see the McKenzie brothers !

If one has to walk up all of those stairs to visit yet another waste-of-space DVC kiosk / space, there had better be something worthwhile to justify the trek.

These guys are all I ask for for Epcot’s Canada.
It would be a beauty.

Take off, you hoser.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go pick up some Elsinore…

I know I said 4/16 originally, but I am not sure about that anymore. I guess we will know in a few days. At least they got your light replaced.

Now I need this one replaced, along with the spotlight that lights up the front of the building. One can dream.

What if there were snowcones? Is that more immersive? I guess we'll know tomorrow morning.

You think they will open or will they boycott?

The DVC preview center MUST open! They got some DVCs to sell!!!

Thank God they didn't do the DVC models and sales center in Morocco.... that is a minor win

I do not, but I do know you can make appointments at several locations (sales desks) and chateau de voyage itself.

"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"

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.

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.

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