Beginning July 15, Tangierine Café: Flavors of the Medina will serve traditional Moroccan cuisine, like grilled kebabs and a falafel pita. This year's festival will see a handful of locations offering indoor Global Marketplace kiosks, including at the American Adventure and the Canada pavilion. With the event beginning in July, Disney appears to be conscious of afternoon storms impacting operations of outdoor kiosks and is looking to offer indoor venues where possible.

The original Tangierine Cafe closed in October 2020 as the pavilion's third party operator struggled in the wake of the COVID shutdown. Disney has since taken over operations of the Morocco Pavilion and is making a series of improvements.

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.

Thank you so much!

It’s being operated by the festivals team but remains open with limited menu in between festivals. Epcot actually got rid of their ODV teams for FW/WS and now the outdoor stands and carts are all merged into festivals or other QSR complexes.

I really wish the Morocco quick service would fully reopen again. Isn't is just being used during festivals now? Or am I not correct about that?

While you’ll 99% of the time get a canned response, the email does get forwarded to the right people. It’s always worth writing GR. Guest.Services@disneyworld.com

At least they are still respecting it's lighting feature during the nighttime shows right? Or did they give up on that too? Incase no on knew of this.... https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/why-doesnt-moracco-or-norway-light-up-for-illuminations.187668/#:~:text=Master%20Yoda&text=EpcotGrl%20said%3A,in%20fact%2C%20be%20demeaning).
