EPCOT Permanently Closes Canada Pavilion Bar, Making Ice Wine Reservation-Only

Overview

• The Trading Post Refreshments bar in the Canada Pavilion closed permanently on February 27, ending walk-up service for Canadian draft beers, regional wines, and the pavilion’s signature ice wine.
• Ice wine is now sold exclusively at Le Cellier Steakhouse, which typically requires an advance dining reservation and commands premium pricing.
• Canned and bottled Canadian beers remain available inside the Northwest Mercantile and Trading Post merchandise shops despite the bar’s shutdown.
• In the France Pavilion, Impressions de France has been closed for indefinite refurbishment since February 22, and the co-located Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along is also dark with no announced reopening date; some listings reference an unconfirmed April 3 placeholder.
• Disney has not provided detailed explanations for the closures, and commentators say the changes reduce accessible cultural experiences even as they note no direct evidence of political pressure driving the decisions.
