Morocco Pavilion refurbishment walls - April 5 2021
Posted: Monday April 5, 2021 10:44am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Construction walls went up at the end of last week in EPCOT'S Morocco pavilion as Disney moves to modify a social media photo spot.

The walls block entrance to the back of the pavilion where work is taking place.

Scaffolding and a work scrim can be seen around the construction area which contains a structure with a suggestive appearance when viewed from certain angles and poses.

Access to the area is also blocked from the other side of the marketplace. The remainder of the Morocco pavilion's walkways are open to guests.

Since taking over the pavilion from the former third party operating participant, Disney has been making small modifications, including a new menu at Spice Road Table, some cosmetic changes to the Gifts of Morocco store, and currently refurbishing the bathrooms.

I think just general maintenance, almost every world showcase pavilion has been touched up over the last year.

I'm not entirely sure, but here's the news article from @wdwmagic when the walls went up. https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/morocco/news/25mar2024-large-section-of-epcots-morocco-pavilion-goes-behind-refurbishment-walls.htm

Warren Zevon is one of the best ever.

The company who were running it when Covid caused the parks to shut went bust.

The company who operated went bust? I thought it was the country backing out, but that seems not to make sense since the Morocco Pavilion is the most authentic built by them which they would be proud of to continue. If it's all to do with one of the run companies can't Morocco have another run it?

well, some other country star had a pretty big hit covering 'Lawyers, Guns, and Money' so I imagine it makes sense to tap into his works ;)

Eh… that seems to be a very one-sided way of telling that haha. Ideally, Disney would see the value in having the countries represented well. Compare the shops of China and Japan to Canada for example.

Didn't realize it was a cover...those crazy Canadians :p

sorry, Warren Zevon fan, seems she changed a couple of words when she covered it
