EPCOT Opens a New Dining Location
EPCOT just opened a new dining location, and we aren't sure if this is a perfect addition or a big miss.
EPCOT Closures
Occasionally, our favorite attractions, restaurants, shops, and even sections of hotels are closed for a minor or sometimes major refurbishment. These refurbishments can sometimes greatly affect your vacation.
Back in January, we shared that EPCOT's Refreshment Port was closing. Disney did not provide details regarding what the refurbishment would include. There was also no official reopening date announced.
We had hopes that this location would eventually reopen. Today, we have an official announcement that Refreshment Port is closed permanently.
Refreshment Port Change
Refreshment Port was a permanent kiosk that offered delicious ice cream treats along with varying poutine entrees (changing for each festival).
Earlier, we shared that this location will reopen as La Poutinerie, hosted by Air Canada, with a new partnership deal.
Air Canada provided a brief description for this new location: "A taste of Canada at EPCOT. La Poutinerie, hosted by Air Canada, brings a Canadian classic with a twist."
La Poutinerie Review
Today, July 1, 2026, La Poutinerie officially opened on Canada Day. Operating hours are daily from 11:00 am until 9:00 pm.
La Poutinerie is now officially open at EPCOT.
The full menu includes:
- Entree: Quebec: L'authentique: French fries, cheese curds, and brown gravy: $10.99
- Entree: Montreal: Vivande Fumee: French fries, cheese curds, smoked meat, pickles, and mustard gravy $12.49

- Domaine Ste. Michelle Sparkling Brut, Columbia Valley: $7.50
- Jackson-Triggs Reserve Red Blend: $12
- Assorted fountain beverages: $4.79
Many Disney Guests feel that this is an upgrade from the previous Refreshment Port menu. I (Donna) would personally like more than just 2 entree options at this dining location.
What do you think of this new dining option? Will you try this on your next trip to EPCOT? Share your thoughts with us and share this news with your Disney pals.
