Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco Pavilion has not operated as a restaurant since 2020. Since then, it has been used as an open seating area and as the Florida Blue Medicare Lounge. It will be open as a Passholder lounge from May 1 to June 18, from noon to 8 p.m. daily.

Signage inside and outside of the restaurant has been changed to read “Annual Passholder Lounge.” The color scheme of the signs and interior decorations is red and yellow.
