Walt Disney Imagineering's New Permit Hints at Upcoming Enhancements to EPCOT's Canada Pavilion

Canada Pavilion construction walls - August 1, 2024
Posted: Monday August 12, 2024 1:30pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a new construction permit for EPCOT's Canada Pavilion in Walt Disney World.

The construction permit carries the usual vague description of "Install Set Elements" and is assigned to Icarus Exhibits. The long-time Disney vendor specializes in custom theming for immersive environments and has recently worked on TRON Lightcycle Run, Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, and Toy Story Land.

Despite the Canada Pavilion wrapping up a major exterior refurbishment project, construction walls have again appeared at the pavilion.

The area being worked on is at the Hotel du Canada, in an area of the building that has been off-limits to guests for years.

While we don't know what is coming, with Walt Disney Imagineering involved, it is likely to be a guest-facing space, with the possibility of a new exhibit or bar/lounge space. Disney has yet to make any announcement on the project.

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

    No reason? Really?

    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!

    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. 😂🤣
