Hotel du Canada

[WEDWDW]

Here are a couple of pictures of the construction at the Hotel.

It is such unexpected good news that something is FINALLY going to be in the Hotel again after all these years!

It will improve the "flow" of the Pavilion tremendously!

I have missed the shop they used to have in there. It would be nice to have something go into that space. I feel like it is too small for any type of restaurant or snack bar, unless they plan to utilize the kitchen at Le Cellier, although perhaps a plain bar serving alcohol might fit since they could use standing tables for that. I would welcome another retail location, as the one on the lower level is small and cramped at the best of times. I can’t imagine they would do construction on the building just to provide additional storage or other behind the scenes space.

I agree-I definitely think something for Guests is being readied.

Some are speculating it will be a Lounge with the new construction being an "outdoor" Bar.

This is going to do wonders for the Pavilion and increase traffic thoughout what is a GORGEOUS Pavilion with the gardens and waterfall,etc.

The Hotel area has always felt so DEAD since the shop was removed.

The size should be able to support a bar - it's about 20 feet deep by 42 feet long in the main section, plus an additional 20-24 feet after the 'bend' which could be a back-of-house area, and if they extended some kind of outdoor seating, capacity could be pretty good. It was always one of my absolute favorite pavilions as a kid, theme wise, and has been such a disappointment to be so underutilized once the shop closed. A bar serving Canadian beers and whiskey drinks would raise that pavilion's popularity level way up!

My guess is it is definitely going to be a Lounge/Bar-Disney seems to be on a Lounge "kick" lately with the Pirates of the Caribbean and Spaceship Earth Lounges already in the pipeline.

And I think the new construction will be an "indoor/outdoor" Bar where Guests can order drinks from either inside or outside the Lounge.

It looks like there may be room for a few tables outside overlooking the Falls as well-GREAT spot to finish up Drinking Around The World!

Here is a recent picture.

Definitely appears to be some sort of a "Bar" or a pick-up window.

If this project is indeed a Bar/Lounge being put in the Hotel,it will kick the vibe/popularity of the Canada Pavilion up immensely!

So exciting-Canada has needed this badly ever since the Shop closed in the Hotel!

I'm excited to see the changes. Being Canadian myself I was proud of how pretty the pavilion is but it was definitely lacking in options. So many better places around World Showcase to spend my time and money.

Exciting! My niece starts working at the Canada pavilion in Aug. Looking forward to seeing where she is and visiting her too!

Cool.

She is coming at a great time.

This new place in the Hotel will be a game changer for the pavilion.

What a great example of Disney's use of forced perspective. Notice the windows and "bricks" get smaller as you look up.

Something similar to Baseline Tap House would be a great addition there. Beers on tap and a few small bites. Very exciting!

I'll take a small walk up QS please with Poutine, Beavertails and such. You would not hear any complaints out of me. (And yes I know there's a nearby QS with Poutine, and that could be changed to something else).

Just happy to see something going in there. It was too good of a space to be left empty. something like Baseline taphouse would be awesome.

I wouldn't get too excited...This is from someone on Wdw Magic. I would love a baseline type of place though.

"DVC in-park sales center where contracts can be signed, “first of its kind.”
Not certain it’ll include a lounge. More of like Saratoga Springs DVC center. Complimentary snacks included, I’m told."

Interesting. I've done some tipsy shopping in EPCOT, but this would be on another level! I'd much prefer something food and beverage related that could have broader appeal.

WOW!!!!

That is EXTREMELY disappointing!!!!

What a terrible waste of that space.

Definitely not maximizing the potential of the Canada pavilion.

 

[zackiedawg]

That would be a definite disappointment if true. Such potential!

They have so many DVC kiosks that I would be surprised to see them use that large of a space for what they already have. Doesn't mean it won't happen, but I would be disappointed in them going with that option.

I think the difference is that all the kiosks do is chat up folks to get them to talk to an actual DVC guide in hopes of getting them to buy. The center would be where they get down to the serious business.

I fear you are correct.

They probably have research that shows a higher sell rate if a potential buyer is seated in a nice indoor location with free snacks,etc..

Fine,but it shouldn't be here!!!!

Canada needs this space to reach its full potential!

So UPSET with you Mickey.
