Morocco pavilion central courtyard reopens - July 6 2021
Posted: Thursday July 8, 2021 11:28am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Work wrapped up on the central courtyard at EPCOT'S Morocco pavilion over the weekend, and we've got a look at the changes.


An all-new concrete design mirrors the shape of the central fountain and includes concrete of different colors, patterns, and textures.


The fountain itself has received some touch-ups to missing tiles.

The area will be a lot busier next week as the Tangierine Cafe reopens July 15 as a Food and Wine venue.

and the front half of the plane that totally was or totally wasn't from the original movie (back half of the plane on Jungle Cruise too?)

Where are those AA’s from TGMR?…that scene would fit right in!

In keeping with Disney’s latest roll on bars/lounges, they just need to add… ;)

That’s always been there, there’s a few areas throughout the pavilion where you can hear residents talking to each other. Would love if Disney could figure out what to do with this pavilion, it’s embarrassing at the moment

Sorry for the thread bump. I’m currently at the Morocco pavilion in the Fez House. They’ve added some atmosphere audio of two men having a conversation catching up and some other conversations between people.

It’s the Florida Blue Lounge 😊😉

Marrakesh and the Bazaar need to reopen...Up the theme factor and really make that walk back through the pavilion an event. If anything, Spice Road Table has hurt the pavilion overall by diverting people away from wandering back to the bazaar and Marrakesh...Marrakesh need to be more of a spectacular thing to drive guests to the back....

Nadda. Though it’s kitchen is still fully functioning and used to prep all of spice roads food.

Is there any sort of rumbling about Marrakesh?? Had Spice Road today and it was great but just not the same level of quality, certainly not ambience either

They changed the menu though. It is not the same food as they had before. I am sad about this. The chicken shawarma was a must have for me every trip. Believe it or not, not a single restaurant in the city where I live sells it.

They were doing that for a bit but this summer it was open the whole festival gap

I thought Tangerine Cafe was closed between Festivals but I could be wrong.
