Bonjour March-Henri, it's so great to welcome fellow Canadians to planDisney!
It sounds to me like you're in search of secrets that the Time Variance Authority - otherwise known as the TVA - would want to keep hidden, but I'm also a big supporter of helping those who seek knowledge! Ever since the
debut of Deadpool & Wolverine in the summer of 2024, the world began to spot Deadpool popping up in all kinds of Disney Destinations, including when
he now famously crashed D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event and essentially stole the show this year. Over at Disneyland Paris, Deadpool not only began to make more frequent appearances but word started to spread of a concealed Timedoor leading to a top-secret speakeasy and I'm happy to give you the inside scoop on getting in and what you'll find:
- If you ask a Cast Member over at Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel, they might point you over to a particular spot in the lobby where you can scan a QR code in order to make a reservation. Alternatively, I recommend that you do this even before you get there via Lineberty - a virtual queue service previously used to manage guests looking to gain access to the reimagined Disneyland Hotel when it reopened. When using Lineberty you'll need to look for Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel, so that you can select "The Fourth Wall at the Broom Room"; if reservations are open you can book for up to 6 people (currently only a few days in advance) with slots between 18:00 to 22:00 in the evening.
- If successful, you should receive a confirmation (one arrived to my inbox almost immediately) with instructions to head to the Concierge desk half an hour ahead of your time slot with your ticket number. You'll then be provided with a special key card with a secret code on it that will grant you access up to the 6th floor where the Empire State Club Rooms and Suites are located. (You'll know that you're close when you see large artwork depicting Deadpool and Dogpool kissing Wolverine.) After entering a fairly ordinary door marked "Meeting Room 6233" with the same image found on your key card, you'll need to figure out where to use the code you were provided within what looks like a quirky broom closet full of graffiti and cleaning supplies.
- Once you're inside, you'll be greeted with a space dimly lit with the glow and signature symbols of the Time Variance Authority, along with various artifacts including suits belonging to Deadpool and Wolverine, a TVA Hunter Helmet, a Tempad as well as other fun details for fans to enjoy as they sip and snack on all of the themed offerings. The small menu features drinks with names like "Hot Pinappool" and "Adamantium" as well as pizza rolls and chimichangas to chow down on. (When you're all done, don't be surprised if you find yourself having to locate the exit close to where the toilets are!)
When you make your reservation you'll be informed that the experience is limited to one hour, and ironically enough for something under the jurisdiction of the TVA - this secret space is only expected to be available for a limited time. Currently according to the Cast Members, this is currently only expected to be open through the end of October 2024 so I hope you get the opportunity to visit sooner than later!
I wish you all the best on your quest to find one of the best Marvel-themed secret spaces on Earth!
Prince
