EPCOT Morocco Pavilion redevelopment

[dreday3]

Where's the fig cocktail from? I'll be there in a couple of weeks after the wine and dine run and I need to step up my drink around the world game in Morocco... Last time was a random beer with no character from a festival booth.

Their quick service spot! Also try the pistachio cake, delicious!

I'm a fan of the Moroccorita.

Just popping in to say the fig cocktail from Morocco is delicious!

The Moroccan Mule at Spice Road Table was outstanding! Its made with fig vodka! Yum

What/where is this? Is this Souk-al-Magreb? Is that the Oasis Slushies attached to it or something else?

If anyone wants to have a fun challenge, see if you can spot the Arabic script for "Kingdom of Morocco" in that stylized calligraphy (I'm sure @LittleBuford has no issue finding it!).

For reference: المملكة المغربية is what you're looking for, and it is in there!

What a cool idea! Two more challenges of the same kind:

تجّار طنجة للجلد والملابس

سوق النحاس

No holiday storyteller here this year (I can’t remember when they last had one) but a nice display for the holidays.

Do you have a clearer photo of the text? I’m curious to see what it says.

Disney missed the previously announced early February reopening of Souk-al-Magreb at EPCOT and has now extended the closure of the shop indefinitely. I’m guessing is they haven’t secured merchandise yet to sell in the location and/or staffing. Either way poor show to have all these doors closed on the main thoroughfare through the pavilion.

also small update, Edison style rope/hanging lights have been added to both Spice Road and the marketplace area.

Agreed. But, maybe one of the food booths out front will sell sausage falafels. That should hold everyone over...

Disney still doesn’t know how to write Arabic the right way round!

Souk-al-Magreb has reopened and is showing hours in MDE -

Hopes:

Shops in the courtyard reopen along with both restaurants. Cultural Hosts return when possible to staff the pavilion. Meet and greet return to drive traffic.

realistically:

most shops remain shuttered, Marrakesh operating seasonally or becomes a rentable venue space. Pavilion becomes another Canada with half the place just becoming facades.

What happened to canada?
