New Restaurant for Morocco?

[Alektronic]

I heard some rumors that they looking at putting a new restaurant in Morocco. It will be a waterfront restaurant like UK or Mexico.

I highly doubt this. On the waterfront, there's already the Brass Bazaar, the stage for MoRockin', and a Friendship dock. Where would Disney put it?

Anything to sell those fireworks packages!

I can't talk about any particular pavilion, but can confirm that more waterfront dining IS coming to EPCOT in the next few years.

I sadly can't say the same for actual attractions ...

I wouldn't be surprise if this rumor comes true. World Showcase has been getting a lot of love in terms of getting new places to eat or having a restaurant refurbish.

Between the stage and the dock or to the west of the dock.

Why Morocco though? It's not as if Resturant Marakesh is in the upper tier of Epcot dining, popularity wise. Is there really demand for more Moroccan cuisine?

The mall-izing of world showcase continues. More buildings along the water blocking views.
oh well will see how this pans out. Sadly dining/shopping and dining packages is all TDO sees world showcase good for.

Morocco has a beautiful water wheel/feature on the waterfront, and I believe they planted pepper plants there. It would be a shame to lose more spots like this in the name of selling IllumiNations dining packages.

If there is one thing Epcot does not need - it is more dining options. I am anxious for the day when management looks at the things that ARE lacking in the park.

Another restaurant? Come on Disney!

 

[Zummi Gummi]

Yes, this is just what Morocco needs. After all, Restaurant Marrakesh is so popular.

Yeah, someone convinced someone else that no waterview was the reason for no one eating there, I am sure. Heaven forbid it's because of high prices and Epcot being oversaturated with restaurants.

I really like Restaurant Marrakesh. A lot. It is true that it isn't wildly popular, but it is as good as any.

But why ruin the lagoon by cheapening it even more? I hope this doesn't happen in Morrocco or anywhere else.

Are they considering a new country??? Possibly Greece?

 

[Cosmic Commando]

Could it be a new sake bar for Japan? Jim Hill (I know) said they are looking on the waterfront to expand the tiny sake bar from Mitsukoshi, but don't want to ruin the view of SSE with the torii gate. The location he said they were looking at was supposedly close to Morocco.

 

[marni1971]

Wonderful. Showcase needs even more places to take your money since we know it has far too many attractions.

Agreed - it's a very decent restaurant by Epcot standards. That people don't frequent it more is a shame.

 

[Ciciwoowoo]

I think the theater at the American Pavilion would be an excellent place to install waterfront dining. They can always move the theater to a less valuable piece of real estate.

I am not implying I read that this will happen... it is just a thought that popped into my head.

I like Marrakesh too, but that's not the point. The point is that given its lack of popularity, there is no demand at all for a second Morroccan restaurant.

Who would sponsor a Greek pavilion? The country is essentially bankrupt.
