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.

I am really pleased with all this so far!

Sometimes you have to keep gilding the lily....when that is the only flower you have. There is relatively nothing to do in that pavilion with most of the shops and dining options shuttered.... So, nice they are adding graphics to seem more lively, but adding the dining back would be better...
Well we don't know they aren't doing that, right? So many restaurants are still closed throughout WDW due to covid or now staffing issues, I wouldn't jump to conclusion that dining isn't coming back.
And honestly for us part of the appeal of the pavilion was the beauty and peace it gave from the throngs at Epcot!

I feel the QSR will be back by the summer, the table service is a different story, it’s a beautiful venue though, with the right menu (I’m thinking similar to Sanaa) it could do really well

Really, really disappointing and embarrassing: the Arabic on and above the spice cart is backwards and unconnected. The word written on the wall as ت ا ي ر ط ع should be عطریات. My Arabic isn't good enough to be certain of this, but even the meaning seems off: as far as I know, عطریات means "perfumes" rather than "spices".New Morocco Pavilion Theming Continues Disney's Pitch Perfect Takeover at EPCOT

To @marni1971 and our other insiders, is there a way of bringing this to the attention of someone who can do something about it? I'd write to Disney's usual customer service email, but I'm not sure how far I'll get that way.

It may depend what person gets the email, but I’ve emailed about some very random things that have been addressed. Most recently I emailed about missing light fixtures in Canada and it was addressed a week or 2 later. It’s worth a shot!

Thanks, I'll give it a try and report back.
I really can't believe they didn't think to show an actual Moroccan person before going ahead with this.

That's a bummer. I'm sure they will fix it if brought to their attention and it's truly incorrect.
I would imagine someone did some research on how to spell it? I don't know...are there different dialects, like in Italian?

Yes, it's truly incorrect: it would appear to an Arabic speaker as BUP NWORC & ESOR would to you!
It does seem they got the word itself right, though: what I know as "perfume" in Standard Arabic is apparently used to mean "spice" in Morocco.

Maybe they'll start handing out IJA style translation cards for the fake/bad Arabic as a "fix"...
Ah, well hopefully they fix it.
They were probably banking on clueless Americans such as myself to not know any better!

Wow, that really is poor on Disney’s part. I hope they pay attention to your email.
It's kiester-gate all over again!

I agree. I'm particularly irked as someone of Middle Eastern heritage.
I've written to them and received the automated "We'll get back to you" response. I'll follow up here once they reply to me properly.

I'm not familiar with this. Can you shed some light?
