News Morocco Pavilion redevelopment

[Disstevefan1]

These are nothing like my analogies, which involved conflating different cultures and regions. That’s what this this thread is full of—people treating Morocco as if it could be anywhere in the Arab/Muslim world rather than recognising it as a specific place with a distinctive culture.

Agreed. Disney is destroying Morocco....

Not as much as some here would like them to.

I will tell you, we really miss that fantastic counter service there and we also loved the sit down restaurant. I wish we went more.

It really bothered me Disney EVICTED the folks when they were FORCED to close due to the pandemic!

BAD SHOW DISNEY!

His father is Mustafa in the original story and has nothing to do with Ali Baba.

I do not recall, nor can I find any evidence of his father being in the first movie. There are sequels; Aladdin's father is Cassim, who is the leader of the Forty Thieves. The character is based on Ali Baba.

I really miss the old Morocco Pavilion... It is now a shadow of itself... Maybe at some point they will find another restaurant Hospitality group to take over the Main restaurant...That would help it out greatly... Maybe plus up the cultural museum and add some sort of attraction... any sort of attraction... And yes, I would prefer it be Moroccan...

I was under the impression that you were referring to the original story. That’s how this conversation began at any rate. Cassim is Disney’s invention for the sequels.

Shouldn't this be off-limits? Was she on a diplomatic mission across another continent?

She is part of the rebel alliance and a traitor! Take her away!

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think Ive ever read that someone wants Morocco destroyed. I know I don't. It is a beautiful pavilion.

Currently it has spice road table service, tangerine counter offering less options but still decent, shops, pastries, belly dancer music infront, an exhibit area and the table service being used as a lounge. It’s not great but it’s not exactly WOL or JIYI
