Disney4me Posted August 5, 2025 Report Posted August 5, 2025 This hidden gem of World Showcase has plenty to offer. Morocco Pavilion The Morocco Pavilion is one of EPCOT’s most unique World Showcase countries. Originally opened in 1984, the country was the first (and to date, only one of two) nations added to the park following its 1982 opening. Morocco was also unique in that, at the time of its opening, it was the only World Showcase Pavilion that was sponsored by the government of the country represented, as opposed to a corporation native to the country. As part of this unique arrangement, Morocco’s ruler at the time, King Hassan II, sent Moroccan artisans to design and create the many mosaics and architectural flourishes that make up the pavilion, giving the land an authenticity rarely seen in a theme park. Disney took over control of the pavilion from the Moroccan government in 2020. Despite this inherent authenticity in design, which includes a recreation of a Chellah, similar to those at the necropolis in Rabat, a replica of the Koutoubia minaret in Marrakesh, and a replica of the Bab Boujeloud gateway to the Fez Medina. Morocco Despite all of these authentic details, the Morocco Pavilion is generally one of the emptier ones at EPCOT, mainly due to the lack of an attraction to show to draw in guests. However, this emptiness is actually beneficial for those in the know. We love it back here! See, Morocco offers several air-conditioned and shaded areas that are perfect for a quick respite to escape from the park’s crowds and/or the Orlando heat for a spell. Plus, the aforementioned decorative and theming elements make the pavilion a beautiful place to sit and relax. I’ve often made a stop in the pavilion for a break a part of my many trips to EPCOT. Race Against the Sun Beyond just a spot to relax in the relative cold, Morocco also provides something else unique to EPCOT: A World Showcase restaurant that’s (comparatively) easy to score last-minute dining reservations. Spice Road Table Located on the shores of the World Showcase Lagoon, Spice Road Table offers guests the opportunity to enjoy “Mediterranean small plates—like spicy shrimp, fried calamari, naan spreads and the Spice Road Table sampler—while absorbing the décor inspired by outdoor cafés from the Moroccan seaside.” Covered patio If you find yourself in need of a break – or a same-day dining reservation – at EPCOT, make your way over to the Morocco Pavilion ASAP.
