The new Disney Vacation Club Welcome Home Center, including a model room, is now open in the Canada Pavilion at EPCOT.
Chateau de Voyage DVC Welcome Home Center Now Open
The top level of the Canada Pavilion has been closed off for construction for several months. Walls have come down, opening up the stairs leading to the level.
The Welcome Home Center, named Chateau de Voyage, is in the Hotel du Canada building, which is inspired by the real-life Chateau Laurier in Ottawa. The fake hotel was once home to the shop Le Boutiques des Provinces, but it closed many years ago.
The main entrance is marked with golden signage and a DVC podium under a blue umbrella. This is the first-ever in-park Welcome Home Center at Walt Disney World. Guests can schedule a presentation and tour at any DVC Discovery desk.
Chateau de Voyage opens at 10:30 a.m.
The lounge space inside is inspired by the Northern Railway of Canada. There are blue armchairs and yellow high-backed chairs. A blue carpet runs across a wooden floor.
At the back of the space is a bar facing the building’s new bay windows. Glass lighting fixtures hang from the ceiling, and candelabras are on the walls.
A compass decoration hangs above a mysterious blue curtain. The Cast Members could not say what the blue curtain was hiding.
Another set of bay windows surrounds a booth with a tiny railroad bridge running above it. A mural on the wall depicts Canada’s natural landscape.
There are paintings of trains, bear reliefs, and maple leaf motifs.
The sales presentation is about 60 minutes. At the end, guests get maple taffy, as shown in the Instagram reel posted by DVC.
The model room is upstairs, accessible via an elevator marked “Departures.” A Cast Member will lead you on the tour.
The model room is a replica of a one-bedroom villa in the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows. Check out our own tour of an Island Tower one-bedroom villa.
