Construction walls were removed last week at EPCOT'S Morocco pavilion as Disney completes the small project to modify a social media photo spot.

Scaffolding and a work scrim have been removed around the construction area which contained a structure with a suggestive appearance when viewed from certain angles and poses.

The wall has now been modified to include a doorway and reshaped concrete.

Since taking over the pavilion from the former third party operating participant, Disney has been making small modifications, including a new menu at Spice Road Table, some cosmetic changes to the Gifts of Morocco store, and currently refurbishing the bathrooms.

Right. I've been in the Morocco pavilion numerous times and I never once noticed the, um, architectural feature on that wall. I hardly ever went back there except for one time I dined in Restaurant Marrakesh for a Candlelight Processional ticket. So, do we really think most people are going to get riled up by a non-descript door that most will never notice or if they do hardly register?

Well....it's...being used for a good thing? That's all i got.
:D
Is the relaxation station going to be in Marrakech?
What exactly is a "Relaxation Station"? There used to be benches and seating I am not quite getting what this is... Free water and shoulder massages? Cool towels? What?

It's a Mask-Free Zone.

I always assumed it was a buttress. A visual clue to the period and building method of the structure.

The door itself looks fine, perhaps even good. Its robust arch could retain its function as buttressing support. But just around the corner is the actual entrance door, only five feet away or thereabouts. Plus there is no corresponding door inside, reducing the feature to an outdoor broomstick cabinet.

Oh for pete's sake (keeping it PG)
Something has to be done with this pavilion. There is nothing to see in it except some divey shops and a little fountain that makes me want to pee.
I’m confused as to why they have two closed dining venues and then set up a little random cart to sell snacks and drinks.

There’s a great deal to see at the pavilion. You just have to open your eyes to it.

Sadly not enough people know that’s how to experience world showcase, too busy staring at their TikTok boxes

more updates. It’s actually quite curious how much love this pavilion is getting. Is this part of just a general spruce up for the 50th? Will other countries receive similar little pluses? Canada and UK could benefit from a quick clean up.
