Air Canada Hosting La Poutinerie at EPCOT as Refreshment Port Rebrands

The move signals a push toward branded, pavilion-linked dining in World Showcase.

Overview

  • Air Canada announced Thursday that it will host La Poutinerie at EPCOT, turning the former Refreshment Port into a Canadian-themed quick-service spot.
  • La Poutinerie will sit by the Canada Pavilion and function as an extension of that area rather than a neutral festival-friendly kiosk.
  • Concept art shows a light redesign with a red maple tree, flying Canadian geese, new signage, and added landscaping, and permits list set-element work rather than major construction.
  • Disney has not posted operating hours or an opening date for the reimagined location.
  • Aeroplan members can now redeem points for Walt Disney World packages and a members-only viewing area for Luminous at the China Overlook, with bookings referenced for May 9.
