Restaurant Marrakesh Sign Removed at EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion

Guest access near the entrance is restricted with no official update on the venue’s future.

Overview

  • The “Restaurant Marrakesh” lettering and red logo were taken down, leaving the golden circular medallion in place with visible rivets and sun-faded outlines.
  • The venue has not reopened since the March 2020 COVID-19 shutdown and has remained listed by Disney as temporarily unavailable.
  • Disney assumed operations of the Morocco pavilion’s dining locations in October 2020 after a legal dispute with former operator Marrakesh Moroccan Restaurant, LLC, which sought a PPP loan earlier that year.
  • Since closing, the interior has been used for temporary activations, including an Annual Passholder lounge, a Florida Blue lounge, and general indoor seating.
  • Disney has not issued a statement on the sign removal or long-term plans, and reporters on site note the immediate area is currently blocked to guests.
