Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) has filed a Notice of Commencement (NOC) to install signage at the ongoing mystery project in EPCOT's Canada Pavilion.

The permit, which is assigned to frequent WDI collaborator Design Communications Ltd, suggests that the project is progressing toward a reveal.

The addition of signage is a significant step, as it could provide a big clue about the purpose of the newly constructed exterior-facing kiosk window. Speculation has centered on the possibility of a bar or lounge space, or even a Disney Vacation Club (DVC)-related addition.

This permit follows months of construction activity at the Hotel du Canada, a previously unused section of the pavilion. Construction walls and the vague "Install Set Elements" description on earlier permits have kept fans guessing about what's in store.

While Disney has not made any announcements about this project, the installation of signage may finally provide confirmation of what we can expect from the new addition.

    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. 😂🤣
