Overview
- La Poutinerie replaced the Refreshment Port and opened as a year-round, Air Canada‑sponsored quick-service restaurant in EPCOT’s Canada pavilion.
- Disney installed a retro split‑flap airport-style display above the pickup window that cycled Canada-themed trivia and was paired with a “Now Arriving” decal to reinforce the aviation motif.
- The split‑flap display stopped operating within days of the restaurant’s debut and remained inactive in coverage published on July 8.
- The malfunction appears limited to the display itself and has not affected food service or day-to-day operations at La Poutinerie, which continues to serve guests.
- With the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival scheduled to begin later this summer, Disney has a clear incentive to restore the visible themed element before crowds increase.
