Construction Walls Take Up Most of Morocco Pavilion Entrance at EPCOT

Construction walls now take up most of the entrance courtyard of the Morcoco Pavilion in EPCOT. This latest round of construction work began in March.

Morocco Pavilion Construction

A group of people walk past a construction barrier at the Morocco Pavilion in Epcot. The pavilion features traditional Moroccan architecture with a tall tower in the background under a cloudy sky.

The walls cut across the front of the pavilion, with tables and chairs set up against them. The only way to walk further into the pavilion is down a thin walkway in front of Tangierine Café.

Construction barriers are set up in an outdoor plaza with tables and chairs, partially obscuring architectural features, including a tall tower with intricate designs.

The gallery featuring “Race Against The Sun” remains open, with access around the construction walls.

People walking near a building with a large arched doorway, two trash cans, and an easel sign that says "Restaurant Marrakesh" at Epcot.

When we visited on Friday, a Cast Member was stationed at the front of the pavilion with a paddleboard sign advertising the Annual Passholder lounge. The limited-time lounge is in Restaurant Marrakesh at the back of the pavilion. An A-frame sign was also up advertising the Jasmine meet and greet.

There are only a few feet of walking room on two sides of the construction walls.

Plants have been removed from this bed at the archway entrances to the rest of the pavilion. It’s currently full of mulch.

There is no more scaffolding or scrim over the archways.

There don’t appear to be any design differences in this space. Construction work was likely basic maintenance.

A person wearing a black shirt and gray shorts, with a red backpack, is entering a room through an ornate, partially open door.

It’s also through this alcove that guests can enter the gallery.

Inside the gallery, stanchions block the main entrance.

The Morocco Pavilion has been under construction on and off since Disney took over ownership in 2020. Disney revamped Spice Road Table but never reopened Restaurant Marrakesh, although it remains listed on the Walt Disney World website as “temporarily unavailable.”
