Overview
- Air Canada, which announced the deal Thursday, will sponsor a reimagined quick-service stand called La Poutinerie that replaces the Refreshment Port near the Canada Pavilion.
- Refreshment Port has been closed since January 12 for refurbishment with no Disney reopening date, and Air Canada describes the new venue as arriving soon.
- Concept art shows a Canadian look with a red maple tree, flying geese, fresh signage, and new landscaping that align the spot with the Canada Pavilion.
- Coverage frames the change as a permanent integration of the space into Canada’s footprint in World Showcase, reducing its prior role as a flexible festival location.
- As part of the sponsorship, Air Canada is expanding Aeroplan perks tied to Disney trips, including using points for Walt Disney World packages, merchandise, and premium viewing for EPCOT’s Luminous nighttime show.
