Construction walls went up at the end of last week in EPCOT'S Morocco pavilion as Disney moves to modify a social media photo spot.

The walls block entrance to the back of the pavilion where work is taking place.

Scaffolding and a work scrim can be seen around the construction area which contains a structure with a suggestive appearance when viewed from certain angles and poses.

Access to the area is also blocked from the other side of the marketplace. The remainder of the Morocco pavilion's walkways are open to guests.

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.

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).
