New Restaurant for Morocco?

[alissafalco]

The natural beauty of the country is undeniable. The food is lovely, but probably difficult to replicate properly in Florida.

You're right about that LOL

As for my statement, I too have been to Greece and found the country an utter and complete mess. Nothing ran on time. Nothing seemed reliable. The culture seems to be one of hustle and dishonesty. If it wasn't for its beauty and history it would be an armpit.

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. We only experienced a few very minor things that you are talking about, but nothing to make us feel the way you do. But we did also go in 2007 before all the craziness broke out.

My guess would be either a Chinese or German waterfront restaurant. The only countries that don't truly have "fine" dining, and don't have water front.

Why not a new country, instead of a new restaurant? I vote for India... largely, funnily enough, because of the possible restaurants!

This thread got me thinking...

How much must Disney love Epcot? They have essentially gotten us to pay money, for the opportunity to give them more money. The main draw of WS is the food and drink. So we pay for park entry, then pay to partake in the parks main attractions. Quite the business model.

I support this, but the "ancient Greece" we refer to in this case is only one of legend.

You can have the buildings inspired by Ancient Greek buildings but the content of those buildings fueled by Greek mythology

To my knowledge, all the pavilions need the backing of their respective country. I can't see Greece having a pavilion in the near future.

Germany could aways pay for it. They bail everybody out in Europe already.

Actually that's not really true. Yesterland has a good article covering this called "Two Myths about World Showcase at Epcot" - the other myth is that there isn't any space for new pavilions.

Well it is an improvement on their previous opus operandi

 

[wedenterprises]

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 ...

Please say canada. #poutine

I think I would rather have a new ride/show in Morocco than a new restaurant. It already has 2 places to eat and a whole bunch of shopping.

If this means they'll tear up and dismantle the gorgeous waterwheel and irrigation system, I'll be furious.

That was not operating on 12/25.

Also: new land - IRELAND.

Better start being furious because the waterwheel is going away, but there still is one inside Germany.

Wouldn't we all?

How very disappointing (assuming accurate intel). It's thematic details like this that make WS really enjoyable and somewhat immersive.

 

[MarkTwain]

What I think is interesting is how the concept of the eatery compares to what we have in World Showcase already. The name "Tapaz" is the first name of a dining facility in WS that is in neither in the pavilion's native language (Teppan Edo, Via Napoli, Hacienda San Angel) nor in English (Nine Dragons, Restaurant Marrakesh). It's a made-up word, and it reminds one of the kind of chic/trendy name a bar owner might name a club in a nightlife district. Combine this with the fact that tapas are technically native to Spain and not Morocco, and it gives me the impression that Disney is starting to see World Showcase merely as a collection of vaguely internationally-themed bars and eateries than any attempts at cultural accuracy. In other words, an overpriced bar district.

They moved Mo Rockin' to new stage by the Morocco Boat Dock because the old stage is set to be demolished. So they are making preps to start the construction of the new restaurant.

Mexico is now more cluttered and has little lagoon view. It isn't a fun place to walk through any longer. I just like to get past it quickly and start enjoying the WS.

Now they're going to clutter up Morocco? Will more lagoon view disappear?

Mexico and Morocco were my two favorites. No lie.

I honestly can't think of anything I like less than this idea. If the WS isn't big and pretty, it's not worth visiting.

I can't believe they're going to keep this up. They're going to ruin the WS. I'm so disappointed.

If Hacienda San Angel and the Grand Floridian DVC are any indication, Disney's waterfront views must be profitable to be worthwhile.
