DVC Getting Lots of Love at EPCOT
Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members, get ready for a brand new way to feel right at home inside EPCOT! Disney is expanding its DVC offerings with the first ever in park DVC Welcome Home Center, and it’s setting up shop in an unexpected but fitting location, the Canada Pavilion in World Showcase.
A New Welcome Home Center in EPCOT
Disney just confirmed that Château de Voyage, the DVC Welcome Home Center, will be opening in Spring 2025 inside the Canada Pavilion. This new location will see an expansion for DVC, giving guests an in park option to explore new membership opportunities, learn about new and upcoming resorts, and get a sneak peek at future offerings.
Previously, the primary DVC Welcome Home Center was located at Disney Springs, requiring guests to leave the parks to organise a visit. With the Canada Pavilion location inside EPCOT visitors can now stop to explore while strolling World Showcase, perhaps after grabbing some maple popcorn or a drink from Le Cellier’s famous wine list.
What to Expect at Château de Voyage
Château de Voyage isn’t just a DVC information booth, it’s a fully themed space designed to blend seamlessly into the Canada Pavilion’s charming châteaux and rustic landscapes.
Here’s what DVC members and prospective buyers can look forward to:
- A Model Room Preview: Guests can tour a model villa of the brand new Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, which opened in December 2024. This gives a firsthand look at what staying in a DVC resort is like.
- DVC Membership Info and Assistance: Whether you’re a current member looking for advice or a first timer considering the program, this canter will provide one-on-one guidance from DVC experts.
- A Convenient Location: Instead of heading to Disney Springs or a resort, guests can pop into Château de Voyage while exploring EPCOT.
DVC’s Growing Presence in the Parks
This new Welcome Home Center highlights Disney’s commitment to expanding and enhancing the DVC experience. Over the past few years, DVC has seen significant growth, with new resorts like:
- Disney’s Riviera Resort (opened in 2019)
- Refurbished Villas at the Grand Floridian (2022)
- Island Tower at the Polynesian (2024)
With this EPCOT addition, Disney is making it easier than ever for guests to learn about vacation ownership without leaving the magic.
Final Thoughts
The Canada Pavilion may be best known for Le Cellier’s cheddar cheese soup and the majestic rockwork inspired by the Canadian Rockies, but soon, it will also be a go-to spot for Disney Vacation Club members. Whether you’re a longtime DVC owner or just curious about membership, this new Welcome Home Center is another way Disney is giving its most loyal guests the VIP treatment.
So next time you’re in EPCOT, why not stop by Château de Voyage? After all, nothing says “welcome home” quite like a touch of Disney magic… and maybe a little poutine on the side.
